Hell, if I didn&#x27;t know any better, I would almost believe this is a legitimate app.<p>I&#x27;m right with you on &quot;fuck DRM&quot; and I want better media options, but that doesn&#x27;t mean I&#x27;ll go out and build apps to facilitate pirating movies and then sign commits under my own name to GitHub. What the hell.

What is this? There doesn&#x27;t seem to be an explanation. Perhaps an aggregator for streaming services? Or just an easy way to pirate films?

While the site is extremely professional looking and well done, the existence of some questionable people in this arena makes me very cautious about installing something that could potentially have privacy or security issues. I&#x27;d welcome any thoughts or opinions on this.

Entrepeneur: &quot;I want to take over the media-streaming world with a killer app that runs everywhere.&quot;<p>Developer: &quot;I totally agree and I&#x27;m on board. Let&#x27;s make it run only on the Mac.&quot;

I hit play and it was just showing the &quot;Buffering video...&quot; overlay for a few seconds and went back to the &quot;collection&quot; view. I was switching to my browser to read the comments here and after one minute it started playing. Pretty good quality too, just seems a bit buggy.<p>Edit: Just ran into this error: <a href="http://pastie.org/private/fkqs779gnv13slrqm2gog" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pastie.org&#x2F;private&#x2F;fkqs779gnv13slrqm2gog</a>

The videos lags in Windows. Not buffer lag, decoding is very slow. Other than that, a nice implication about how does it work would be nice.

Doesn&#x27;t seem to work here. I&#x27;m in The Netherlands, if it helps. Clicking &quot;watch now!&quot; shows &quot;Buffering video...&quot; for a short while, but after that, it doesn&#x27;t do anything.<p>[edit] After a while it started playing. However, I had very few FPS on Win7.

Github link is down, I&#x27;m assuming because of legality issues. Can we still expect the source code to be leaked somehow? I would absolutely love to contribute to the project.

Really cool app. It &quot;just works&quot;, you click on the movie you wanna watch and 5 seconds later you are watching it. Keep up the good work guys!
