Links playing or not playing well has nothing to do with the plugin.
It`s down to the server..
As long as the link is grabbed and sent to xbmc it will play, whether it will play well is down to server speed, your isp.

Pretty sure you don't need the repository files, just stick VPRv2 in video plugins and the rest should be fairly straght forward. Just navigate to your video plugins and click on VPRv2 (if you click the white button it will bring up more options) and select what plugin you want to use. Not a lot seems to be working very well at the moment though unfortunately due to server problems - Ninja video is good but it seems that only files on Megavideo server are working and Megavideo cut you off after about 40 minute which is a pain. FastpassTV is usually great but they are having problems with their servers too although I just checked their website and it should be up and running fine again soon. Hope that helps a bit

Make sure "Check for update at start" (or something like that) is not checked, the only one you need checked is the top one which says something like "reset plugin at start". Now when you use the plugin it should bring up options of whether you want Anime, TV Shows/Movies or Other. Select what you want and then it will list the plugins available - click on whatever one you want (FastpassTV, NinjaVideo etc) and it will then open that plugin. Once you have the plugin loaded you have to open the options once again de-select "reset plugin at start" or it will throw you out. This does not install seperate plugins - all of Voinage plugins are kept here inside this one plugin. If you want to install each plugin individually the simplest way is to use the Passion XBMC Installer script (note this is a script, not a plugin!). Hope those ramblings make some sense!

TV Shack is hands down the best video plugin for movies that I've seen. I just discovered it 2 days ago and I'm pretty impressed. I couldn't even buy Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon The Movie after searching Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart and the Mall... but sure enough, it was in TV Shack so maaaad props to the creator of the plugin. I'm very impressed!

I'm gonna have to agree with the guy that says life sucks, but then FastPass does work for me, but seriously seems unwatchable. Resolution is too low even to look decent on 32" CRT, I can only imagine how horrible it would look on my LCD. So I'll ask, is there anything with a watchable resolution, a decent amount of content and even half of it actually available? Or should I just setup torrent RSS feeds and forget all about plugins?

Well it all depends on what you're after, for me FastPass has always been very reliable and the quality is generally very good - there are the odd few where the quality isn't up to scratch but mostly I find them very good quality (I'm using a 37" LCD HDTV with 1080i enabled). I've just tried TVShack as IronBill was saying it's good - I'd deleted that one ages ago as I kept having problems with the streaming but that does seem a very good plugin with excellent content for films and TV shows. For your American shows the new Universal NBC plugin is excellent.
