Re: NOW TV Box £10 inc - Plex install guide

Do the icefilms, navi-x extras run from the PC to the Box or do they run independently on the box itself?
 
Re: NOW TV Box £10 inc - Plex install guide

You have to install icefilms and navi-x etc on the PC along with you movie and TV library

The only extra you have to install on the now TV box is the plex app

did you install this via the unapproved app store? I have installed icefilms add on, and it works fine on the web version of plex.
However on the now tv box it just doesnt show the channel.
 
Re: NOW TV Box £10 inc - Plex install guide

Have you installed plex on your now TV box?

You also need to change in the setting in plex media on PC to disable capability checking.....you need to tick this

Then reboot both PC and box

Guys

You can install UnsupportedAppstore into the Plex Server on the synology NAS (and probally others as well)

I have got icefilms and "let me watch this" plugins both installed and working.

Not yet opened me Now TV box yet, but all works from the plex client on my android.

Re: NOW TV Box £10 inc - Plex install guide

Well I've tried the Idiots Guide, so now I'll ask for the Dumb F**ker's Guide. :silly:
Firstly, do I need to be subscribed to Now TV for this to work ?
Next, "Restart PMS" ? ...................... Restart it, feels like I've got it !!!
As I said DF's Guide, what is PMS ? :blushing:
Also, I keep getting a box (in fact they increase in number) with the title of C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Server\PlexScriptHost.exe when I open up the Plex Media Server.
And just to top it all it now show a problem logging in.
I'm going to give it a break just now, but any advice or indeed the DF's Guide would be appreciated. :Laugh:

Who said there's no such thing as a dumb question ?

Thanks for all your replies ref : DF's Guide.
Just one question I asked remains unanswered................Do I need to Subscribe to Now TV to do all this ?

PS.
For anyone else who needed that Guide..............Welcome to the DF's Club !! :Laugh:
 
Re: NOW TV Box £10 inc - Plex install guide

I think you have to subscribe (correct me if I'm wrong guys). But you do not have to pay, just click cancel at the screen where it asks for your card details and you should be sorted mate.

Re: NOW TV Box £10 inc - Plex install guide

You need to register but not subscribe.

Registering will then allow you to add Sky Sports Day Passes or if you choose to do so, subscribe to NowTV.

I was lucky, I got a Quidco deal where the deal was:

£15 cashback
30 days free
3 months at £8.99 a month (reverting to £15 after)
5 free Sky Sports day passes (worth £9.99 each)

The deal is you get the 5 passes after month 2, so I am keeping it until the 3 months at £8.99 has passed. This means in total with the cashback it has cost about £12 but then again I do have £50 worth of Sky Sports passes to use before the year is out.

Register but don't subscribe. That deal has gone now but there is a chance something similar will come about. Once it does, register again with a different account and use those log in details on the box and to subscribe with.
