IsoPlex: Popcorn time alternative maintained by Isohunt

I think it might be closed source. The site looks identical to Popcorn Time, but it's not clear if this is a fork of the original application or a new one based on it.

Plex[0] is a pretty big media server / player..... Very big coincidence. [0] https://plex.tv/

A lot of cinemas / cinema chains are called -plex too. I don't disagree that it's a bit uncreative to pick a name like that but it's not uncommon in that area to have a -plex name.

I want it for music. Would be perfect for parties as an alternative to spotify, grooveshark etc.

Need queuing and support for a bunch of weird open formats and then we're good to go.

It seems more or less like a popcorn time copy. It uses the node modules peerflix (https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix), read-torrent (https://github.com/mafintosh/read-torrent) and socket-io (http://socket.io) for example. You can read the source code if you download the mac version and open Contents/Resources/app.nw inside the Isoplex package. But it is a good question why it is not on github.
