Same issue as #273. (at least on Windows).

The same issue arises when you click on an item in the watch list:

1. Link takt.tv account
2. Open watchlist tab
3. Click on any show/movie

The watchlist is not opening for me on Mac OS X, app v0.3.10.

[JimiC]

This is a known issue. I have managed to have it working by 90%. The only thing I still have to figure out is how to resolve the torrents object. Due to lack of free time this may take a while.

[kunalgolani]

@JimiC maybe I can help. Whenever you have time, can you point me to the problem and your 90% solution?

[JimiC]

@kunalgolani I haven't pushed the code on my fork yet. The solution is to map in watchlist/details the info that comes from tract.tv to the respective Model (movie, show) that popcorn can handle. I have it all mapped except the torrents object. Once this is achieved the watchlist will be fully functional again.

[JimiC]

@kunalgolani I finally found the time to push my attempt to fix the watchlist provider. You can find it @ https://github.com/JimiC/popcorn-desktop/blob/watchlist_fix/src/app/lib/providers/watchlist.js
The TODO comments are those that need to be resolved.

@JimiC hi! how did u fix the watchlist issue? i don't know how to change codes and those stuff, can u guide me? thanks

[JimiC]

@gabrielbiel7 Locate watchlist.js on your machine and replace the file with the one from the provided link.

[gabrielbiel7]

@JimiC can you post a video please? i really don't understand anything. please help me

[vhoyer]

so @gabrielbiel7, i can not post a video, due to tecnical reasons, but I'll try to help:

if you are on Windows:

1. open your windows menu and start typing: %appdata%
2. press Ctrl+L you will see the highlighted line, erase the last word and type "Local\Popcorn-Time\src\app\lib\providers" (without the quotes)
3. in that folder you'll find the file JimiC was talking watchlist.js (or maybe, just watchlist)
4. open this link and copy its content (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C)
5. open for watchlist.js for edtition (maybe with notepad)
6. replace all content on the file with the one on your clipboard (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V)

It should work, as far as I understand (if you think something will break, make a backup of your original watchlis.js with another name)

If you are on another system... well, try to get around 1 and 2, and start on 3.

@vhoyer @JimiC thanks so much for the help, i've already changed watchlist.js code, but now there is another error. I am logged into trakt.tv from settings but when a click in the watchlist button, it says that i have to put my credentials. I used this code: https://github.com/JimiC/popcorn-desktop/blob/watchlist_fix/src/app/lib/providers/watchlist.js // photo:

[gabrielbiel7]

While I was using the original code, that issue never happened. it has just started now that i've changed the code. Can you help me again, please? thanks

[gabrielbiel7]

why in the original code there are only a few lines, but in the code @JimiC provided, there are more than 200 lines? photo of original code opened in notepad:

[gabrielbiel7]

can someone answer me, please? i still have this issue.
