popcorn-desktop
Popcorn Time is a multi-platform, free software BitTorrent client that includes an integrated media player ( Windows / Mac / Linux ) A Butter-Project Fork
HN loves ridiculing this as often as it comes up, but for all Netflix is - it's a CDN serving files.
The details are important, and running a good CDN isn't easy but....it's a CDN serving files. People really did build a completely free version on their own time [1]. That also costs less to run (kind of a requirement if you're building a BitTorrent streaming client).
It's important to think really carefully about what Netflix actually does, as opposed to what they like to pretend they do: because all the important stuff isn't really tech, it's business, bureaucracy and manual labor - subtitling, license management, ISP negotiations for server placement, someone going through every episode of a show to set the "skip credits" titling.
