I just took a peek and it seems we have over 90 movies approved on the site since the switch to ipfs! Very happy to see so many people adopting the new protocol! As promised earlier in the thread, as we finish doing our ipfs integration tests and looking for possible flaws in the system, we will then be posting a full tutorial on how to set up your own IPFS node!
I would love to see a Total Views number or Average Daily Views in the PureVidz header (to start, eventually Leaderboards)...
It's a central marketing tool for the likes of YouTube and McDonalds (billions of hamburgers served)...
Though some content (like Babadook with 2000 views) would have to be adjusted.
Likes dislikes and total views are part of the most recent update to the site. As the system evolves and improves we will be looking to integrate these stats more directly into the service - that will be part of the UI update coming in mid Feb though as we need to give the site time to populate the data before we use it for anything more than raw stats.
At the moment we are only approving IPFS additions but that will soon change. Keep in mind that torrents and IPFS function very much the same in terms of p2p distribution and connections. As such, well so we strongly recommend using a VPN if you are in a country with more strict copyright laws.

Hi Purevidz,
Will it be possible to integrate subtitles in the movies?
Thx
Subtitles are not part of the scope of the initial project but is still something we are looking to tackle. HTML5
Thanks for your reply. It would be awesome to have any subtitles option sooner or later. Many potential users are not English native speakers but would be interested in using this platform as an alternative to netflix and other similar platforms, which movies and tv series catalogs are very limited depending on the country, as is the case of mine, Spain. Here, if you want the entire Netflix catalog, you need to pay for an additional VPN to access the US catalog (which is like 8-10 times bigger). Many more non English-speaker users would interested in movies in English if subtitles were available, I think.
Anyway, the project looks awesome and the catalog is great. Keep up the good work!
