After reading this in the paper edition, and cloning the repos from popcorntime.io, I actually found the UI rather pleasant. Certainly easier to find something than on Netflix -- and the recommendations seemed more relevant (even without any &quot;profile&quot;).<p>Anyway, I wasn&#x27;t aware that the underlying streaming torrent thing was a stand-alone project -- so if you have a source of torrent&#x2F;magnet-links (say a folder, rss...) you can actually stream straight to vlc&#x2F;mplayer quite easily.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mafintosh&#x2F;torrent-stream" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mafintosh&#x2F;torrent-stream</a>
