Filmon App

Mr. Manager

Is anybody having issues with this App? It keeps saying that it's down for scheduled maintenance but then when I click into the reviews that people have made today, they claim it works fine and is fantastic

Working fine for me, seen that message the other evening but figured it was just doing what it said on the tin.

Just checked out on my iPad and it's still working fine. Delete it and reinstall should fix it.

It can work over 3G if your phone is jailbroken.

I know i'm a bit late, but it was working fine for me when I downloaded it last night, and just checked there and still no issues

clansman

Right I haven't a clue whats going on because now its working on 3G!
my phone is not jail broken...

_Whimsical_

Has anyone tried hooking their device up to the tv and playing Filmon so it can be seen on the tv?

I presume you have to be jailbroken and using Display Out and Resupported if it's an unofficial cable. Anyone tried it or have any suggestions ?

My phone isn't jailbroken and it works for me over 3G and WIFI.

andrewshawire

Hey is this still a free service?
I remember when I was using the web app it started to ask for subscriptions.
I haven't been back to it since.

Dodge

Still, free. I think it requires registration. Worked for me today over 3g (and was excellent)

gzoladz

I hope they do not do as other developers that launch an app as free to build up a very a very big amount of positive feedback, to include an in-app purchase subscription at a later stage.

Mr. Manager

Ok, so I went home, connected to the Wi-Fi and it worked perfectly.

When I was out an about it worked fine off of 3G but now I'm getting the same white screen with a message saying "Scheduled maintenance.... Back soon!"

Ugh.

Works perfectly on the big screen over AirPlay.

I gave it a go with my cheap old composite cable off ebay and it worked a dream too. Delighted!
Thanks for the reply.

You're the second person to tell me that, coincidentally living within the 26 counties. Here in Belfast it works flawlessly for me, full picture without fail on all channels each and every time. Odd.

I'm using it on an iPad but no it's not jailbroken.

Leiva

Mine is jailbroken and still only audio

culabula

When it was (re)-released recently, it clearly stated in the Appstore that Airplay was a feature of it. Works perfectly for me in Belfast. I wonder if some rights issue is making full AirPlay certain territories only?

I'm wondering if it could be to do with the versions of the OS on both ATV2 and my iPad?

Certainly my ATV2 is not running the latest firmware as it's jailbroken and I haven't updated at all in the last few months.

It would be interesting to see, if anyone has a VPN, if it works using a UK IP address.

It does eventually just leave it playing a few minutes then it pops up on tv

Hi all,

My name is Lego from GZero. We are the guys who published the application to both Apple App Store and Android Market.

I have had the same issue reported, and have got one of my test devices in the same state regarding the streaming issue to ATV. ( plays audio only )

From investigating this further, I found that any app that played video has the same issue, and only youtube would work.

For now my only fix for you guys is to update your devices to the latest iOS 4.3 and the latest ATV os.

We are still looking into this issue, so I will keep you posted.

Hope you are enjoying FilmOn, more channels are being added in the next 24 hours.

Here to read your feedback too.

Many thanks

I can't see BBC, itv etc in the list now. Just loads of unfamiliar channels.

What's happened?

Avns1s

Working fine for me.

Have you looked under the UK TV tab?

Yakult

Working fine for me too!

kraggy

Ok just to confirm that we're talking about the same app, my app's icon is like a read power button with the letter 'F' in it. (It used to be just a power button but it asked me to update and then it change to one with an F in it).

The first category of channels is Comedy, then Documentary, Italian, Arabic, Lifestyle, Music, Kids, Shopping, Education...

It's a totally different layout to when I started using it a few months ago. And like like I said, there's no sign of BBC, ITV etc. Just loads of unfamiliar channels.

The only ones I recognise are Al Jazeera and France 24.

Really annoyed, I loved this app as I'm in Korea so it was a treat to watch terrestial tv from home.

The first section is UKTV. not comedy, and this has all the channels you are looking for. You aer correct about the new logo. I would delete the app and reinstall. Then when you do that, top left of the screen is a "about" tab. What the detail when you select this ?

kraggy

Ok so I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

Same as it was. No sign of BBC ITV Film 4 or any other channels I'm familiar with.

Could it be cause I'm in a different part of the world? The first section is Comedy. There is no UK section.

But I was able to get UK channels a few months ago.

Aargh. This is really annoying.

Bg knowhow

Used to be good worked fine. Last two/ three weeks became hit and miss.
Updated to latest version on 17 04 2012 and since then does not work at all.

Bg knowhow

UK channels only available in Europe for some reason
