Sorry I don't have them!

On a side note, the navi-x plugin also works fine.

How did you manage to get navi x on it thinking of getting one.

That's the million dollar (€11.89) question - most of us are hoping the box eventually gets hacked to put xbmc on it.

That's not XBMC compatible at all. Not even a tiny little bit.

Easy as pie, get Plex on it and then just drop the navi x plugin for Roku (google) into the folder, restart and off you go

[Deleted User] · 05-08-2013 7:02pm

Yep, not sure if navi x is frowned upon here so I won't link to the plugin.

Can't get any channels to work from it though, only movies. Think that might be a problem in general right now with Plex plugins on Roku.

What do people think are the chances that this will receive regular firmware updates that will ruin any unofficial stuff you put on ?

You can just turn off auto update.

If you can post any links in this thread that would be great, ordered one last week waiting for delivery, not much of a tech guy so hopefully reading through the posts will help and one post with links would be handy :-) cheers.

Ordered this at the weekend.
Also i just signed for the 6 month offer, still working, even if it says it will end the 4th of august

One question, if i install the Plex as per instructions here, it does not overwrite any Sky stuff etc, so i can use both in the same device?

[Deleted User] · 06-08-2013 3:52pm

Yes, you can install one dev app as an extra, in this case Plex.

Sterling Archer · 06-08-2013 4:34pm

Will this work with just plex, no subscriptions?

How would you go about finding the netflix developer file?

Right,
Got Netflix and skygo plugin installed for plex, both work but are flaky enough.
GUI on Netflix is very basic and wouldn't replace the one on Apple TV.

Box is great and I reckon more plugins and apps will come in the next weeks.
Anyone needs any help or have any questions giz a shout.

What plugin did you use for Netflix?
I can get listings but nothing plays - afaik, Netflix blocked unofficial 3rd party plugins from working?

Either link will work, but more passes (600+) left on 3rd-test link

Select 'continue without facebook', go to 'find treasure'

Simple treasure hunt game. Find Ashes urns. Find three out of five and answer a question correctly on each urn, enter name & email (any one seems to work and isn't needed to claim the code)

Code is revealed on screen. Note the code and redeem on NowTV website.

Only one code can be reeemed at a time it seems but there is no indication that codes expire,

Clear cookies and go again.......

How do you find urns? I'm trying for 10 minutes and cant find one!

donmeister · 06-08-2013 10:45pm

Has anyone with A HTC One managed to control this box via the TV app, I've had no luck....

Use the radar thing on the left to locate the urns. Pan left or right until the dot is centred and scroll your mouse to zoom in. Most are quite obvious

If like me cricket isn't your thing, the answers can be found with a quick Google. They repeat often and the third question is always "on sky sports"
