How to Watch Live ESPN3, Amazon VOD, and More on a Jailbroken Apple TV With XBMC & PlayOn

[OneOfOne]

boxee box kills this

[historyinrust]

espn use to work perfect for me but now it only plays short clips of the live game (1:30-2:45) is anyone else having this issue? If so how do you fix it?

[mnvikes169]

Will it work even after you close out PlayON?

[MrJohannkarl]

I followed all the instructions and everything looks the same as in the video, but when I try to play a event on a channel a pop-up appears on my TV which says "One or more items failed to play. Check the log file for details." Is there someone who can help me with this? How do I fix this?

[acuna13]

Do you still have access to the many sites on playON even if you dont live in the US?

[19MMika]

[VascoTheSauce]

There is No Library tab in my xbmc under videos!

[kris003]

@VascoTheSauce me neither do you fix that?

[reemreginatatar]

@VascoTheSauce go to file tab, add video, browse, upnp devies and there you should see playon

[shivercanada]

When I was at the step for upnp I can't see Playon at all in the list afterwards just 3 dots.

:(

Does Playon have to be running on the PC while on ATV to be able to see it??

[jimschaeffer]

After installing ATV Black I get NO options under Manage Extras. Nothing. Any advice?

[theperfectcell6]

How do you think the Ethernet Bridge setting would work if you are running PlayOn via Wine?

[moehio]

Great videos, thank you! Question... I did everything you explained (except for the Play On portion, because I'm on a mac) but I am trying to get Plex to work. I have installed the server on my Mac, and installed the software through the Maintenance menu on the AppleTV, but I can't seem to access anything. Can you do a video explaining that?

[jans1971]

will this all work in england

[baska567]

I installed XBMC in another way, I didn't use firecore. I followed all your indications but when i go into the UPnP server, or folder, there is nothing in there. I'm a mac user. I made sure that my network settings on parallels are set to ETHERNET(Bridged) but still nothing. I connect to the internet via wifi and with the network settings set to Ethernet I can't connect to it. Do I have to change my settings on parallels because I use wifi?? I hope you can understand me. Please Help!! Thank you.

[itsyoujitsu]

is there a way for mac users to do this without parallels?

[SkymannProductions]

you can also use a program called WINE to run windows programs on a mac

[mikepfromnyc]

Does the fact that you download the free trial version of playon premium affect all the channels you get, in the future?

[h31p]

Hey, I've tried this using VMWare Fusion instead of Parallels, and it didn't work - couldn't find PlayOn in XBMC. Does the ATV need to be connected to my MBP via ethernet, or can I stream wirelessly? Thanks.

[analpedal]

is this available in every country in the world?

[philipweiss437]

@seekokhean why?

is this whole amazon video service us-only? i haven't seen this yet on the german amazon page.

[philipweiss437]

Haha you can watch Porn on Amazon :DDD 5:32

[truerider211]

This may be a silly question but im new to all this. Are most new shows able to be watched for this? (USA shows such as Suits or Burn Notice) Is this just a way to get online via TV?

[hermez77]

is there anything will work to watch in canada

[Ipodperfection]

JEFF, YOU WEBSCROLLAIN, you made me run to the apple store to get an apple tv.

[glzmario]

I love Xbmc, I'm planing to get a 1st gen appletv just for this

[Irunwild31]

doesnt work..lost all sound

[TheGoodfella70]

will this work in Canada?

[toffeeman82]

awesome videos, going to do all the things you said in all 3 videos. do you have to keep you mac running with parallels running play on for that feature to continue working?

You should do more apple tv videos, seems like a dark art

[myjailbreakmovies]

@toffeeman82 You have to keep play on running to use the play on feature... but if you just want to use anything else, then no, you don't.

[Makaveliz1]

@myjailbreakmovies
