Okay. I'm using the free cable part of this plugin and watching scifi and it keeps crashing my ipad 2 everytime I watch haunted collector episode 6. Any idea would it would be crashing the ipad 2. I have updated the specifically file as well.

It will play for about a minute and crashes. I'm about to try out another show and see what happens.


- exiledone1 - 2011-07-13

okay....I just tried 3 more tv shows from the free cable section and all of them cause the ipad 2 to crash after they start playing for a second or two. Any ideas?

They were all from the Scifi channel btw. I'm trying supernatural on CW right now.

UPDATE. The CW works fine so I'm guessing something with Scify

Interesting, can you please post a log when the iPad crashes so we can have a look (:

I stumbled across this channel listing - don't know if it's useful:

So how do I post a log? Where do I find it at within the xbmc program? I'm guessing after the error happens I need to go to the log and then post it here? Do I just upload it as an attachement or something. newbie so bear with me.

Honestly on an ipad I'm not sure where it will be located. The file you are looking for is xbmc.log. If/when you find it, go to pastebin.com and paste the error message. Then come back here and post the link to your pastebin (:

Thanks Mrdally,

I'll see if I can recreate the error again tonight then search for the logs and post them. I just have to say everyone here is so helpful. Learning a lot. Thanks

Thats the best part about the Open source community. You love the software, learn new things playing with it, and if a problem is solved for you, it has the potential to help everyone else involved!

When you turn on debugging the path to the XBMC.log is shown in the upper left corner of the screen. At any rate, it is in /var/mobile/Library/Preferences on my iPad.

exiledone1: syfy is still only using vp6/mp3 streams. atv2/ios devices have hardware acceleration for h264 which is what many sites stream(like the cw). Some sites are a mix of h264 and vp6. vp6 won't decode as well on ipad. I haven't had it crash on vp6 streams though. hopefully something in the log helps solve it.

Syfy only uses 48kbps mp3 for the sound which really sucks. its the lowest bitrate audio I know of from a us site and sounds like garbage.

mrdally204: free cable 1.0.0 is still coming. I am honestly working on fixing hulu+ support right now though. I love those 720p streams.

I'm having issues w/ 30 Rock and the Office. As I understand from an earlier post NBC also uses vp6? What I have on my win7 machine is severe audio/video sync problems w/ these shows. I'm using an Acer Revo w/ ion graphics. I'm using the nightly build and I've seen the problem using both librtmp v2.3 and the new v2.4. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
ps
This add-on along w/ the Daily Show and Colbert add-ons are the best things about xbmc.

would it be possible to add a channel for http://www.thewb.com, has full episodes of fringe season 1

here is librtmp 2.4 for atv2/ios. it supports type 9 handshakes. It is good news for Free Cable too. I got VH1 show working with the new version.

I was focused on a few updates for Hulu so I could get my Hulu+ on with 720p. It is now working well and supports Hulu+ properly again. I am going to go back to Free Cable and try to eliminate more bugs.

bladeds: I wasn't aware of this site. It has tons of good content. Thanks for the link. I will try to add it in.

sorry for going so slowly on Free Cable. it is just complicated on some sites because they aren't very standardized.


- dallasnights - 2011-07-15

dumb question where do i put the new librtmp

Thanks
