    Hey folks,

    Anyone else having trouble with the FilmOn apps on Android. I choose a channel, it tells me it's connecting and then there's just a spinner.

    There seems to be a few different versions in the Play Store and I've tried a couple of them all with the same result on both tablet and phone.

    FilmOn streams in XBMC are working fine.

    I've had a lot of problems with it recently but it's working at the moment on Android

    Still not for me - just getting the spinner on both tablet and phone - tried clearing data and cache with no luck.

    Could your ISP be blocking it or some sort of filtering software?

    I tried using Filmon while on Irish Rail recently and got the problem you experienced

    Is filmon.com accessibe?

    yes it's not the ISP I think - have tried Three and UPC. Mobile site works on both, xbmc does too but the app doesn't.

    Could it be an ad blocker issue?

    Adblocker was a good theory which I hadn't thought of but no. I am running Adfree but even after uninstalling and rebooting, it's still borked. I even tried using it through Hola with a UK IP. I don't think it's an access issue as I can watch FilmOn streams in XBMC for Android - I assume they come from the same place.
