Popcorn time JSON-RPC 2 Api ========================= The JSON-RPC api built into the popcorn time app is an interface other programs can use to communicate with popcorn time. It uses basic http authentication and opens an endpoint port, both of which that you can set up in popocorn time's settings view. Every response is an object containing the version of Popcorn Time in the key 'popcornVersion'. Here are the currently supported procedures, the arguments they require, and the response they send: --- `ping()` * An empty method you can call to test the connection to the API. It needs no arguments. `volume([double volume] = optional)` * You can use this to get or set the volume if currently in the player view. If you want to set the volume then it should be a decimal number equal to or between 0 and 1. `toggleplaying()` * Toggles whether the video is playing. `togglemute()` * Toggles whether the video is muted. `togglefullscreen()` * Toggles full screen mode of the app. `togglefavourite()` * Toggles favourite status of the currently selected item. `toggletab()` * Toggles between tabs. `togglewatched()` * Toggles watched status of the currently selected item. `togglequality()` * Simulates a keyboard q button click which toggles quality if on movie detail view. `showslist()` * Opens the shows tab. `movieslist()` * Opens the movies tab. `animelist()` * Opens the anime tab. `showwatchlist()` * Opens the watchlist view. `showfavourites()` * Opens the favourites view. `showabout()` * Opens the about view. `showsettings()` * Opens the settings view. `getviewstack()` * Gets the views stack.
