Icefilms will show working message whehn trying to load video, then working message dissapears and nothing plays

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
4.4.4 atv2
xbmc eden 11 beta

Please provide any additional information below.

So when i replaced the megauploads.py file it got rid of the script error. now 
when i load up xbmc the first couple videos play fine, but after that a working 
message is displayed when loading and then dissapears and nothing happens. i am 
convinced this has to do with using wi-fi connection vs wired. havent gone to 
the trouble of grabbing an ethernet cable.. wondering if anyone had any input 
in the meantime.

I don't have a fix for you, but I do have 2 apple TV's, one wired and the other 
wifi, as well as a MacBook with wifi, and all seem to be doing what you 
described. I have a third apple tv wired though that is working fine as of yet.

ok. used this fix -- everything fuckin loads now i just did 5 in a row back to 
back no problems -- props to whoever the fuck in the other thread cant remember 
his name

change the cache size settings with these instructions

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?s=69e81eca8ad90e81056dbf9cbbe2b60d&p
=74301298&postcount=212

instead of setting the cache size to 30242880 set it to 0 (unlimited caching)

works like a fucking charm, not getting off my couch for a week. 

thanks again to the guy in issue 52

The fix in comment 7 did not work for me. I applied the patch and am still 
having the following issue.

I load icefilms and am able to watch a program, but once I leave that 
particular program and try to watch a different video icefilms shows the 
working message when trying to load video, then working message disappears and 
nothing plays.

This is becoming increasingly frustrating.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  
Is there a fix that works?

i also read in another forum if you press the menu button and then select stop 
from the menu to stop the video as it thinks you another stream open the second 
and so on video will work. I tried this and it did not work for me. Also iv 
noticed when i get this issue when the 2nd video does not work, i bring up the 
menu and select check mega limits, i then see a message at the bottom saying 
script error. Anyone else get this?

Iv managed to try the fix on comment 7. Its true this is so fustrating. i was 
able to load a couple of videos after turning meta data option off but then 
after that i came accross the issue again.

Same problem on ATV2, 4.4.4, newest Icefilms firmware. - sometimes I fix it 
with unplugging the power from ATV2 and then replugging it.

Its the most annoying thing and I cannot believe there is no fix for this.

I'm sorry to say I have the issue as well since Sunday evening.

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 with XBMC Eden and the latest plugin version...

The files are found, but once I try to load one, either nothing happens at all, 
or I get a brief working message after which nothing happens...

The fix suggested in comment 7 doesn't work for. I don't believe it can work 
anyway - because the script is not loading anything, there's also nothing to 
cache anyway...

k. comment 7 doesnt fix the working message, but does deal with the buffering 
issue. since i did that fix, i havent had a single movie stall up on me. what i 
do now, is after im done watching one movie or back out of a movie, i get up go 
to the bathroom, make a snack whatever, and 5 10 mins later i dont get the non 
loading video thing. i am generally pleased now

Installed 2 ATV2 today, one with firmware version 4.4.4 which I had this 
problem with. 
The other I installed version 4.3 and that worked fine. 
Maybe just a coincidence, but worth a try ??!!

had this issue occur and reoccur on me multiple times. Tried to watch 
smallville season 6 episode 9 i think? It's called Rage. about 3 or 4 minutes 
in the stream would freeze and either i wait a few mins for it to go back to 
icefilms menu, or just unplug. However afterwards the working message was 
appearing but nothing would happen. Time seemed to solve the issue, cause 20 
mins later i got the stream working again, however it seems to crash at the 
same exact spot everytime I try to watch the episode, thus reviving the issue. 
I finally just skipped the episode and all the others work fine. Could this be 
a link related issue that we are experiencing?

Just installed XMBC (latest edition) on my ATV2 4.4.4 and I'm getting this 
problem as well. I'll select a video and it may work, but if I close out of it 
to select a different video I get what is described in the above posts. The 
"Working" dialogue goes for a second and then nothing happens. Restarting the 
ATV2 allows me to play a single video, but upon closing it, it reverts back to 
the issue. I searched around but wasn't able to find any suggestions on how to 
fix it. Hopefully someone figures it out because this really does seem like an 
awesome program to have!

installed yesterday on ATV 4.4.4 and im getting the same issue, if you leave it 
for a while and come back to it you can usually get a video to play but closing 
a vid and trying another one, forget it.

Im still trying to figure out this problem. Seems like the issue is not having 
a megaupload premium account and the free account exceeded its bandwidth  or 
daily download limit. So far waiting a few minutes (5-10) seems to fix this 
issue. Does anyone have a premium account and still is having trouble playing a 
second movie?

Original comment by GKB...@gmail.com on 12 Jan 2012 at 4:33

I was having this issue as well...

Signing up for a premium account fixed the issue 100%...

I have not experienced any errors in more than a week...

We can load 10+ videos back to back!

Reach into your pockets and pay for the premium acct!

Well i did pay for a premium acc but it wont log me in :( anyone has the same

well i tried logging out from megaupload premium account and it loads

Having an acount or not doesent have anything to say.
A friend of mine have this exact problem. Then we tried his ATV2 4.4.4 at my 
house, and then it worked perfectly. 
So, can this have anything to do with what ISP you have or some ports not open 
in a router?

same problem here expcept being on windows ^^ 
MU Premium Account is ok 

working popup - then nothing

Strange. I have a premium account I had the same issue.
But, when I signed out the problem disappeared.

anyway, I know that they (MU) changed somthing in their system as I also had to 
update the plugin in jdownloader, so I guess there's a fix.

Try disabling the firewall in your router?

I disabled the firewall in the router to a friend of mine with the same

I have xbmc on both my laptop and atv2. I can watch all videos without fail 
through the laptop but am having this problem on my atv2 tried setting up a 
megaupload account but that didnt work ive no idea what to do to fix it.

I tried my atv2 on a different router and I was having this issue.  Then I 
tried it on mine and it worked perfectly.   So it would appear the problem lies 
within the router settings. I haven't tried changing the router settings yet, 
so if someone else wants to try and post the fix please do.  Thanks.

SCP into yout ATV2 delete your megaroutines.py file and replace it with the 
update. it is located in 
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/plugin.video.icefilms/mega/

attached is the update. this worked for me

Ok, Thanks for that. Bit different for me though. Im on a pc, windows 7 and the 
path is different. for me im going in to xbmc, addons,then xbmc.addon is that 
the right place to put it??? also i just put navi x on there and although its 
nowhere near as good it does play everything that isnt a dead link though I 
havent found anything that streams from megaupload yet to see if that will 
stream through it.

I tried replacing that file but it didn't do anything. Icefilms was working 
perfect up until yesterday when tv shows started taking forever to buffer but 
movies worked fine? Now I can't get any megaupload videos to work.

Have only been able to watch about an hour of a film before it stops. I am then 
only able to watch a few minutes before it kicks me out. 

As per comment 44, I have done the same and tried a fresh install and no 
difference. Shame really as I would really like to watch the other half of the 
film, lol
