    Any chance of getting this thread back on topic.

    What's the best way to get the rte player working on Android?
    Obviously won't work on chrome. Do you need to use explorer or Firefox?

    The thread is on topic.

    mossy's repo on xbmc is the best way to get the rte player working on Android.

    no ads. no pop up windows when you touch the screen. far better than trying to navigate through a rich website on a phone browser

    OP here, thanks for all the info lads. This thread has gone a little obscure but thats okay :) I won't hold my breath for a dedicated android rte player app but the xbmc route is a great alternative ;)

    For English channels ive found notfilmon is best and you'll need mikey1234 repo.
    could you advise how to load up notfilmon. I have enabled mikey1234 repo but I don't see anything else I can do with it. I've added fusion as a source and I have enabled xbmchub but I can't find where to add notfilmon.

    I haven't had any issues with 1channel, icefilms, mossy's. they could all be installed and added via Get addons and I see them under the Video addons menu

    Yeah if you've added mikey1234 repo, goto settings, get addons, select mikey1234 repo, select notfilmon. Should be as easy as that.

    Or, if you know where mikey1234 repo is stored on your phone, goto settings, install from zip, browse to the repo, select it, then get addons as above.

    See if it has now appeared in the Get More Add Ons section next to all the ones that were already there like NASA and TED Talks and all those, check in alphabetical order for Filmon, notfilmon, mikey1234 or just scroll through that list, thats where I found it after installing it 5 times and wondering why it didnt just show up like Mossys one did.

    I think sometimes a repository shows up in the list of add ons the second you install it and other times it just unlocks the option to install it in Get More Add Ons, no idea what the difference is.

    I get a splash screen with Mikeys1234 and no other options so I don't see notfilmon. selecting it brings me to an empty screen with just the .. option to go to the parent dir.

    The splash screen says the version is 1.2 which might be my problem because I was reading up and it looks like the current version is 2.7. Check for updates doesn't do anything.

    Could you point me towards the zip you found to install it. Or did you install it via fusion?

    Has anybody noticed 3 Player plays a program perfectly then just exits it like you pressed stop or the back button after exactly one minute? Does it for all shows for some reason, doesnt really matter seeing as Ive never used it but it would be nice to get all the Irish channels workiing...

    Nice one guv. Your zip did the trick. It still took alot of fiddling around. it only worked after I removed the xbmchub addon I already had installed. Delighted I got it working.Thanks for your help

    1Channel is very nice, thanks.

    Ive got to build a little media centre pc with all these repositories on it for under my tv in the living room now, you can basically stop downloading files and just stream everything from now on, even on my phone with 3 3G I can watch what I like with zero errors, a media centre pc on wi-fi would be flawless, plus I could stick a load of emulators and every ROM ever made on there and get some wireless pc controllers for retro multiplayer fun after the pub :D

    N00b question: Do repositories autoupdate like an app when the developer releases a new version or do I have to keep an eye on Mossys and the like pages for new versions and manually install them?

    Try settings, system, audio out. Should be able to switch from analogue to digital output. Plus there's a few other settings there might do the trick.

    In the Android XBMC, where the hell do I tell any of the video add-ons to update themselves or check for updates?

    Settings, add ons, enabled add ons, video add ons, then if there's any updates it'll show on that list, click the particular add on and a box opens up whith an "update" button.
