I installed the 56 version and yesterday until a few hours ago it was working. Now i am again getting the "TFCTV Error. Check log for details" whatever show I select. i sometimes get a list of shows and sometime i don't get a list at all. If I get a list, selecting a show, gives me the error. Nothing currently works. Anybody else experiencing this in the 56 version. i tried to install the 57 version in one another Fire Stick but the same happens.My other streaming apps works fine so I guess it is not my connection. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Same here, though in some other boxes that my friends got, appear to work okay. I have installed Jarvis 16.1 just like what they have too.
On my android phone I installed Krypton 17, and seems to work well.

I luckily made tfc addon work again by reinstalling my kodi and restoring all my settings and addons. You give it a try.

Hello,

For those who still have errors launching the addon 0.56 or higher, please try to set all the addon options to OFF and restart the addon.

If this doesn't fix your problem, may you please share your Kodi log file (here or PM), Kodi version and platform and location (country) for further investigation.

Thanks in advance.

@DavidAlcatraz
Can you make a screenshot of the quality issue?
Bacause I can't reproduce it on my Windows laptop (Kodi v17) and raspberry pi (Kodi v16).
It can be a difference of area (country). Knowing TFC, it can be possible.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late response..

Here are some screenshots from my Mac running Kodi:

First many thanks cmik to work on this plugin. :-) My wife got very upset once she can use TFC via Kodi anymore.

I run into the same issues reported by others that the plugin is working for a while and then throwing errors.


I use 0.57 on a RPI2 with LibreElec 8.0.2 with Kodi 17.3 from Australia. TFC premium account.


Here my settings:
LibreELEC:~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.tfctv # cat settings.xml | grep -v emai | grep -v password

here a example log I get frequent:

Thanks for your feedback.
In your case, it seems to be a timeout from TFC webservice. They're still encountering some difficulties to respond from time to time (sometimes it can take 20 seconds). Those web services are also use in the TFC official app, so app users have also the same behavior.
I'll try to find a way to retrieve infos from website but it will not be an optimized solution.

How do I access the Kodi log file on apple tv 2 kodi v14?

[benaranguren]

@cmik, I have a pure web scraping version available on GitHub.

https://github.com/benaranguren/nuodtayo...-0.1.0.zip

It is based on the original release by todits but as you know already a lot had to change so I used yours as a reference for the playback portion. It turns out it just needed all the cookies to be included in the header.

I only tried it with a premium account and you might need to remove any existing cookies if you only see 2minutes worth of video.

I'll add the source code later instead of just the zip.

I hope this helps.

Thank you so much! this works on my apple tv device!

[cmik]

Thank you CMIK. I just have another question, how many device can use the same account at the same time? Cause before I think its unlimited.

Hi,
As I can recall, it was limited in previous versions (when I was testing the addon on several platforms)
With recent TFC changes in their subscription packages, I don't really know and I haven't found the info on their website.

Wonderful, thank you so much for your awesome work. This works great in my android box running Kitkat and Helix. Many many thanks!!!

Thanks benaranguren.
This can help others who are encountering problems with webservices latencies.
Good job for cleaning the original source.

[benaranguren]

Great! Glad this works for others as well.

This version works good, I am no longer getting the red box error, but on premium plan only news and shows work.

The movie and live folders are empty once you choose something to watch.

Just need to add content to them somehow. thanks

Edit: I can now see the quality issue, plenty of pixelation when viewing on the kodi app and the website, but no problems when viewing on the ipad app.

This seems the be coming from TFC themselves.

We just have to hope that TFC fix this problem soon, everyone needs to complain to them.

[daflip]

would just like to add that if you can't open the addon or getting errors. try upgrading your kodi to 17.3 and should work and i was able to play 5 episodes then closed app and re open without any issue. i was on 16.1 when i couldn't even open the addon or get errors. only issues is the quality with pixellation but its fine with me.

hope this might help with other.

edit, this is for cmik, latest version.
edit 2, never mind, the errors came back, so addon still having errors...
