From a 4OD web page, this is the current version -
var fourodPlayerFile = '4odplayer-11.21.2.swf';

I don't have XBMC, so these instructions may not be accurate, if someone having the problem would like to try this and confirm if this fixes the problem or not. Take a backup copy of the file .XBMC/addons/plugin.video.4od/default.py first, then change the lines in this file from 11.8.5 to the current 11.21.2 version on lines 164, 243, lines 231, 242 don't require changing as comments. If this doesn't work restore the backup copy.

Brilliant - this works on ATV2 and 11.0 beta2! Big Grin

I SSH'd into the ATV2 and took a copy of the file /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/plugin.video.4od/default.py

Made a copy of this on my pc for a backup, then edited the original file on my pc by opening it in notepad and doing a find replace for 11.8.5 to 11.21.2 then copied it back to the ATV2. Now videos are playing fine!

Crash Log


Connection Refused - nickzeff - 2012-02-06 14:32

Running latest version of addon on ATV2 Eden Beta 2.

Keep getting refused connection.

23:14:14 T:212787200 ERROR: RTMP_Connect0, failed to connect socket. 61 (Connection refused)

Full log here: http://pastebin.com/kRKSssUc

I'm set the ATV2 DNS address to unblock-us, so not sure if it is a geolock thing?

Thanks for your help.

Great - thanks for letting me know.

Apologies - I fiddled around with my router and got this working. This was indeed a geolock issue.

Thanks!


4od atv 2 - deniadaz - 2012-02-08 17:49

Hi I am running ATV2 XBMC Eden beta v2, and have noticed my 4OD plugin has suddenly stopped working, I have the latest build, 1.0.1, and have also changed the .py numbers as previously mentioned in this post, I use unblock-us without any issues with the bbc iplayer and itv player, but for some reason the 4OD has stopped, and is returning script errors, or says working, then stops.

Please help! perhaps the original repository owner, who wrote 1.0.1 may be able to spread some light on this issue.

its worthwhile noting I also use XBMC on my MBP, and use a VPN on there, not unblock-us, also returning the exact same error messages whilst others continue to function normally.....

Any ideas ?

Me too, using unblock-us from the mac side. Is using the router method yielding better results? if so, what did you tamper with?

Hi nickzeff

What settings did you end up with on the router to get 4od working again? iPlayer,iTV and Hulu all work fine, but not 4od. Im also using unblock-us, but I connect through my mac using the dns, not the router. Is the router a better method to circumvent geo-blocking?
I've edited the .py swf player version method but its still not streaming 4od, so I'm hoping its just a tinker with the router to get unblock-us functioning correctly.
