I have a similar problem.  I added the add-on and it keeps giving me script 
error when it tries to download the meta containers.  Im running 4.3 with the 
latest icefilms 1.0.17

same problem on apple tv.
re-do jailbreak, install xbmc, enbale icefilms, and it give the script error 
after I chose "download the meta data".
if I chose "remind me later", then it work fine, just need to download each 
list for every subfolder I chose.

so, it is look like a meta data error

Hi , had same issue since last night , just updated the DNS in ATV2 setting to 
the google DNS 8.8.8.8 , have just started and seems to work , loads , help

Thanks for the response but still no joy for example when i click movies > 
popular i get the message 'script failed! : plugin.video.icefilms before i 
changed my dns i got onto the next screen with the titles it was only at the 
point of selecting which source to stream i got the message, do you think it 
could be worth my while re-installing xbmc?

how the heck do you change the DNS of your ATV2?  can someone please tell me 
where to go to find this? 

Original comment by ddmarc...@gmail.com on 1 Dec 2011 at 4:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

just changed DNS to 8.8.8.8 and still does not let me load even categories, for 
instance you click on tv shows, then popular, and wont' go further, keeps 
saying plugin.script.icefilms failed over & over...

Original comment by ddmarc...@gmail.com on 1 Dec 2011 at 4:52

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To change the dns on the appletv 
from the apple tv screen go to settings
choose general
choose network
configure tcpip
manually
ip address hit done
subnet mask hit done
dns address 008.008.008
008 

and u should be good...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hey ya sorry I figured it out on my own with a bit of clicking, but honestly 
the DNS change has not resolved my icefilms problem, it continues to say Script 
failed! plugin.video.icefilms whenever I click on a category under movies 
(popular, highly rated, etc.)

considering I have no cable tv or anything to watch, I am in a real bind 
here...may actually have to talk to my gf or read a book, please help!

GUYS!  PLEASE UNPLUG YOU APPLE TV POWER CORD AND PLUG IT BACK IN AND IT SHOULD 
WORK FINE!  not sure if that worked or the DNS thingy, but do both!

I'm having this same error, was working fine, all of a sudden, started getting 
the Script error! plugin.video.icefilms whenever I click on anything (tv show, 
movies etc) I've tried unplugging, clearing the cache, reconnecting to my wifi, 
done the DNS 8888 thing, no joy. The error in xbmc.log is:

I have had ATV begin to crash 90% of the time when I try click a link of any 
kind that leads to the video. Instead of going to the 45 second count down 
everything freezes and I have to reboot my ATV2.

try changing you dns in network info to the google dns: 008.008.008.008

Atv2 4.3 ice films 1.0.17. BOTH of my apple tvs started doing this error today. 
 Each worked less than 24 hours ago.  Tried unplugging, changed dns, rolled 
back, unplugged, rolled back again, unplugged.  Nothing seems to work.  Really 
don't want to jailbreak again...I have so many movies in my favorites! *sigh*.

mine has stopped working today too. Changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8 worked last

I dont think it's just on ATV2 - since they dont work on my iMac and MacBookAir 
as well.

icefilms isn't working on my Macbook and isn't working on my AppleTV2, tried 
all the tricks I know, as well as the ones previously posted and nothing has 
worked. Noticed on Twitter for ice films not everyone is having this problem 
only a handful of us... so not sure if there going to do anything about it... 
sad :/

How can I force an update???

Original comment by garysand...@gmail.com on 9 Dec 2011 at 10:31

[GoogleCodeExporter]

got it - System -> Addons -> Get Addons

Highlight 'anarchintosh addons' then hold down menu button, select Force 
Refresh and also check for updates.

seemed to work BUT the 25 second wait (free account with MU) now makes me wait 
60 seconds...... painful but better than nothing.

Same here, script error all the time, anyone got any suggestions?? I have 
raised issue 62 on here with more details and have also posted on the 
icefilms.info forum. I think its an issue with the default.py script, it fails 
with the script error on everything I select at the last stage - just before 
the sources from megaupload would be shown....

I keep getting the script error too. I just installed the repo and got ice 
films to show up, I even got to play a couple movies and each time I watch 
something then quit then it won't work....I've been researching all day and 
there is nothing that is helping, pretty frustrating!!

My Set-Up:
ATV2 on firmware 4.4.4
Latest Seas0nPass (unteathered) jailbreak
ATV Flash (Black) 1.1.1
XBMC version 11.0-0~b1
Icefilms.info Add-On ver.1.0.1 (updated to 1.0.2)

Issue:
Everything worked fine yesterday and now i keep getting a script error anytime 
i choose a source.
It should load source like it did yesterday when i first installed everything 
but now I always receive this error...
I also have the Navi-X add-on installed and the Icefilms repository from within 
there works absolutely fine...
I noticed the update for Icefilms this morning to 1.0.2 and i did that 
expecting it to fix but still unfortunately no luck...

What i've done to fix:
Tried unplugging.
Tried updating.
Tried changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8
Tried uninstalling and re-installing Icefilms Add-on
Tried altering the .py files from within ssh from "www.icefilms.info" to 
"vds.icefilms.info" only to read futher on the post to find out that this is an 
outdated fix and did not work so i changed it back...
I have also tried installing a fix that someone released a long time ago, but 
this method was also outdated and did not work...

PLEASE HELP!

i've fixed mine go back & look at issue 69 Comment 11 by michaela...@gmail.com, 

For anybody who needs the location of megaroutines.py on ATV2 , it is located 
in 
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/plugin.video.icefilms/mega/

I know nothing about Python so it took my a second to figure out that 
get_wait_time should be:

   def get_wait_time(self, source):
       wait_time = re.compile('count=([0-9]+);').findall(source)
       if len(wait_time):
         return wait_time[0]
       else:
         return 1

Do you replace the file on the computer or the appleTV????

Original comment by strikerr...@hotmail.com on 2 Jan 2012 at 10:23

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Comment 38's fix is awesome!!!. I fixed icefilms on both the ipad2 and Apple TV 
2!.
For the ipad using ifile is the easiest, but be sure to delete the earlier 
version of the megaroutines.py file and save as shown by Comment 38.
I used filezilla for the Apple TV and deleted the old and replaced the new .py 
file.

Hope this helps everybody, Happy viewing!

Since I use windows, here is how I would do it.
Download the fix and save it on your desktop.
See that your apple TV is connected to your "TV" then use FileZilla (Host:Yr 
Apple TV IP addrs/ Username:root Password:alpine /Port:22) to get into your 
apple TV...find the folder in filezilla on your 
computer..../private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/plugin.video.ice
films/mega/, there should be an older .py file, which you should delete and 
replace with the fix from your desktop.
Unplug the apple tv from the power cord and HDMI and wait 10 seconds and then 
reconnect.
Hopefully this works for you.

Each time I watch something then quit I cant load another movie/ TV show for 
ages... Ive used comment 38's fix and that did fix the script problem but now 
if I watch something and then move on to watch something else I select the MU 
link,the "loading" bar comes up... Then "waiting" in the bottom right but no 
video loads.

Any help? I'm using Apple TV 2 on 4.4.4 with latest XBMC
Thanks
