Error fix
You will get an error and cannot run Popcorn Time properly at this time. We need to do some tweak to solve this problem. Thanks to this post that shows a quick fix to the problem. Execute this command on Terminal to fix the missing libudev.so.0 on OpenSUSE.
cd /your-popcorn-time-folder/
sed -i ‘s/\x75\x64\x65\x76\x2E\x73\x6F\x2E\x30/\x75\x64\x65\x76\x2E\x73\x6F\x2E\x31/g’ Popcorn-Time
Then, run Popcorn Time again
./Popcorn-Time
Now, Popcorn Time should run properly.
Hi, thanks! But I get an error msg when running the sed command.
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `�’
Any idea why? =[
Try
sudo sed -i ‘s/\x75\x64\x65\x76\x2E\x73\x6F\x2E\x30/\x75\x64\x65\x76\x2E\x73\x6F\x2E\x31/g’ Popcorn-Time
Worked for me. Copied it from the install script on github. https://gist.github.com/Ribtoks/11125426
Same error happened with me.
Change the characters ‘, the terminal does not accept what is written in the post.
sudo sed -i ‘s/\x75\x64\x65\x76\x2E\x73\x6F\x2E\x30/\x75\x64\x65\x76\x2E\x73\x6F\x2E\x31/g’ Popcorn-Time
