this thread is for the discussion of the Fancast plugin by retalogic.

I'm not able to check right now, but can this be made available (or is it already?) on the repo installer?

they're working on it. Once again, great plugin. Let us know when movies work or the interface is updated. An alphabetical listing would do wonders!

works great however on xbmc movies are pretty low quality compared to the hulu plugin of past. would love the 480p quality of the hulu.

I have found that when playing a tv series through Xbox1/XBMC it stops to buffer every 2 mins. or so. This never happened with Hulu plugin!
Any suggestions are welcome on how to fix this.
Thanks.

OK, I think I found my problem, I had other programs rum=nning on my network that was taking the bandwidth.
Sorry I did not check this first.

Forgive my ignorance but I can't figure out how to install the fancast plugin to xbmc on an xbox.

I don't see any instructions on the fancast plugin site.

When I copy all of the files from the fancast plugin site to my xbox under a 'fancast' folder in the plugins/videos folder, I get a fancast item in my video plugins but clicking on it does nothing...

Where can I find information on how to install the fancast plugin?

Copy the the Folder containing the Fancast files to the plugins/videos folder.

i'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but you need to post a log so that we can at least try to help. there's not enough info to help solve anything. I realize it's your first post, so here's how to do it.

Unfortunately, the Fancast plugin is not reliable. It doesn't play every TV series and people have said that it won't even play the movies. I think there is a bigger effort in getting the Hulu plugin to work. That's where the dev time appears to be based on forum posts. The quality of Hulu is much better and this new version of the plugin doesn't have commercials - so the payoff is looking better.

Where can I find this folder? When I go to the fancast site linked in the original post at the top of this thread, the only thing I can find are individual files. What's more, when I save those files, they are all given .htm extensions. I've removed those extensions, placed them all in a 'fancast' folder and then put that folder in my plugins/videos folder. This results in the symptoms I mentioned in my other post - I can see a fancast plugin in my plugins menu but clicking on it does nothing.

Other plugins I've used are usually packaged as .zip or .rar files. What am I missing with regards to fancast? Makes me think I'm not in the right place for downloading the plugin but I've clicked through everything at the 'github' site and can't find it...

Now look towards the top you will see.

Click the download button and you can pick either tar or zip.

I've also struggled to download this file too, the download option doesn't seem to work. Is this US only like Hulu?
