RTE Player For Android?

toby2111

Cheers!I managed to get navi-x working but when I clicked on Sky Sports News(in the Live UK TV Channels folder) it just keeps scrolling and says "working" at bottom right of screen and loading at bottom left.Can't go back a page or anything,seems frozen!Any ideas?

Edit-restarted phone,went back into navi-x,clicked on skysports3,now its saying "error,cannot open file".Have I downloaded the wrong navi x file or something???

Edit again!-Just tried different channel/link and its working now!Top job,looks the business!Any recommendations for other add-ons like navi x?

Not sure about the specifics, but while xbmc and navi-x are excellent, by their nature, some of the add-ons are not welcome by copyright holders and therefore don't work as you would expect, or at all.

I personally take it all with a pinch of salt, and try a different method of watching my desired programme. Sportsdevil add-on is hit and miss but might give you other options, there are a few different ways within navi-x to watch various channels, if one doesn't work, try another. The people who upkeep the various options are always playing catch-up with the various copyright holders to keep the service active.

Xbmc and all within is a fantastic bit of kit, but its probably never going to be perfect because of the nature of some of the things you can do with it.

I linked the navi-x im using a few posts back. It does seem to freeze occasionally but mostly works ok. Also your s3 will only output hd via the specific s3 mhl cable and in order to connect to an older tv you'll need to get a converter, never tried one but they are available.

Navi-ex collects lists of dodgy pirate streams so its not going to be a perfect service, I have to try about 10 different streams before I find a watchable one for the football on Saturday or Sunday on my laptop so its just trial and error.

Filmon (UK Live TV) and Mossys Repo (Irish live tv from Aertv and RTE Player and 3Player, also 4 on Demand) are excellent, they seem to work flawlessly. Read this thread first is definitely good advice.

Actually have you noticed Filmon has improved again, all the ITVs are back and Dave, for a week or so, it went down to just the very basics.

That reminds me, I'm out in sunny Lanzarote and managed to watch yesterdays arsenal game buffer free on sportsdevil but all I get on mosseysrepo is oreactus test transmission! Is it working ok over there?

Watched the delights of Nationwide the day before yesterday ok, for screenshot purposes only, I promise.

Want another app for watching live US channels? USTV & Radio app free from google play lists dozens of channels and works very well.

You're welcome :-)

Thargor

First link:

https://www.google.ie/search?q=mossys+repository&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Thanks for mentioning ExpatTV though, should have thought of that seeing as I have it on my laptop.

Thargor

Ah crap seems to be the same as FilmON, is there a repo or add-on anywhere for the BBC iPlayer? One that will let you watch in Ireland?

toby2111

Cheers Thargor.Have you a link to download icefilms?Thanks

Edit-Sorry,found it in the "Get Add Ons " section

Anyone able to get 4od playing using Mossy's repo?

I can navigate through and select programs and it looks like it will start to play them but then nothing happens. Looks to be the same problem described here

I've tried installing this modified apk - "xbmc-12.1-Frodo-armeabi-v7a-RedPenguin-Rel2.apk" but then cannot install mossys addons

Thargor

No, and I bet you your TV3 Player wont work either, I already asked him about it and its a known bug, hopefully to be fixed in future. There must be anohter 4oD player out there though, someone in the UK must have made one.

That's right. TV3 player doesn't work either.

I've had a look at some of the suggestions here but haven't gotten it working.

4od navigates and plays well from a browser. ps3.channel4.com seems to work better than the other methods.

Watched a champions league game last week @ http://www.tv3.ie/3player/live which I don't think is listed in Mossy's anyhow.

Thargor

Yeah I watched something on 4oD in the stock Android browser the other night and it was fine, perfect actually and that was on 3 data connection in the middle of nowhere down in the burren in Clare, I really want them all working in the one place in XBMC for neatness sake though. Its obviously related to this librtmp business and at least thats the XBMC crowd who are actively developing that not mossy himself because its causing issues in other players and add-ons aswell so hopefully it will be fixed, they're focusing heavily on the Android version these days.

I swapped out a few older versions of librtmp I found to see if any of them worked before but none did.

Ste-

I've gotten 4od to work on newer builds.
For example on my N7 I installed this apk yesterday and 4od worked no problem.

Thargor

Only difference that one made is to crash XBMC to the homescreen when I select something in 3 player, 4oD the plugin wont even start now, do you need to uninstall and reinstall the plugins when you install a new version? I was on 12.x, yours is 13.

That one wouldn't install over my 12.x as it was signed with a different key.
So I uninstalled 12.x fresh install of 13 adn all plugins fresh. Try that.
What device are you using this on ?

Thargor

Its a Jiayu G3 which you probably never heard but its as generic as generic phones get and everything works on it, its that MT286 processor or whatever its called, hundreds of phones use it anyway.

Just tried a totally fresh uninstall and reinstall of everything there, no joy, just realised that everything crashes out to the homescreen when it tries to play a video now including FilmOn and RTE Player so this version of XBMC is worse than 12.X for me, where did you get a 13.x anyway? The main one on the XBMC website is only 12.2... Maybe its a Frodo vs the other one, Im not an XBMC expert sorry.

Just upgraded from 12.0 Frodo to 12.2 there, filmOn and RTE back working, TV3/4oD not, dont care about TV3 but wish I had 4oD as thats one of the best archives on the net and I have to get a bus to galway every weekend.

I get the same with 3player (& RTE player) and with 4od I get 'could not connect to network server'. This is on a Nexus4. Will try a N7 tonight.

I'm using plugin.video.4od-3.0.11.zip & plugin.video.irishtv-2.0.10.zip

Thargor

Exact same for me 4oD refuse to start 'could not connect to network server', everything else crashes to homescreen the second it looks like its going to start playing.

@Ste- would you mind attaching the versions of the plugin that are working for you?

Will do as soon as I'm home, altho I was having problems with Mossy repo last night so I downlaoded them from here.
Version 13 is on the Xbmc homepage or at least it was one of the top stories when I checked. The article is here.
I notice a newer version of 4od than what is listed in the post above.


P.s. I had heard of the Jiayu G3 but only because I read most of the posts around here.

groom

12.x is the stable builds
13.x looks to be beta / nightlies

I'm trying to get mossys aertv app up and running on my note 2 android.Its on 4.1.2 .I installed xbmc via xbmchub and everything is working fine except mossys addons. It opens as normal but when I try to play a show it launches a loading bar and then says "x show is now playing" and "press ok when playback is finished", but there's no picture and no sound on screen. Only those two small info boxes with that text. The screen doesn't even change away from the menu list of tv shows like this :

Anyone else had similar trouble?What can I do to fix it ?

I'm having the same problem. I briefly had a look online a few days ago to see what was up with it but didn't find anything. I must have a look again to see if I can sort it out.

Had it worked in the past for you?
Let me know if you come across anything and I will do likewise.
Ive tried opening the stream in MX Player and the dvd player but it doesnt work.

My Nexus 4 is rooted & I use an app called 'Auto hide soft keys'. Excellent for watching videos.
As you mentioned though there is a grey line accross the top of the screen.

spockety

The borders are because the nexus 4 does not have a 16:9 resolution screen, is nearer 16:10

So it was! I assumed it was released today so in my bubble, it couldn't have been posted earlier. The date of the press release by RTÉ is today. Ah who knows, perhaps the one from a few weeks ago was a beta/test? Anyways, apologies, looks like RTÉ have finally got the heads from outside their asses. Well, no, probably not.

I downloaded this today to my nexus 7. I couldn't find it on play store. I got it through the link provided here. Hadn't used my nexus 7 in ages and so did a software update to Android's new system.
I did the same with my galaxy s2 but when I try to download the rte player it says it is not compatible with my device.
Why?
Thanks

I have version 2.3.5 after doing the update. Is this the start of the Galaxy S2 not being supported by developers?
What is the apk file for?

So will it allow me to download it?

The above link mentions how to update to the 4.0 but not sure if it is safe.

Alpha Dog 1

The galaxy s 2 runs ICS.

ICS is version 2 is it?
I read on a forum where a person bought a Galaxy S2 in Ireland and it had version 4.0 on it.

I get the feeling Vodafone is trying to push people to upgrade their phone!

Interesting read.
