Please help me get tv catchup working

Post by ibscotty »

Hello guys have been using TVcatchup on the old xbox in the living room for the last couple of years as we get horrible freeview reception and last night it randomly decided to stop working, it has done this before and I have always just deleted it and re-installed with XAI and it would work again, so I delete goto programs and find XAI isnt working anymore, doh.

I have been googling about trying to find a solution for the last 4 hours or so but to no avail lol, I realize XAI has been made redundant and replaced with Addons4Xbox, so I downloaded that and put it in programs but cant seem to find catchup.. I figure it must be in one of the (many) unofficial repos so go about installing all of them, took me a good half an hour but I figured it would be the easiest way to go through them lol.. and now when I goto get addons nothing will come up?? nothing happens now when I press "get addons" at all now?? did I add too many repos or something?? :(

oh yeah also before I installed all the unofficial repos I tried downloading the TV catchup repo from the tvcatchup website and installed it by using the "install from zip option" I ran the repo installed the TV catchup and got all excited when it appeared in videos and everything but then still wouldnt work. :(

Is the problem because I am still using xbmc4xbox v3.2?? do I have to upgrade to 3.2.1?


Please help me.

UPDATE:

SO I thought I wont wait for replies and decided to delete my xbmc folder find and install 3.2.1, first downloaded the stable version, it didnt show up in apps..? so deleted and downloaded the most recent nightly, works a treat..

so back at square 1 with a fresh new copy of xmbc 3.2.1, I found the BBCiplayer app from searching these boards in the hitchers repo and it works perfect, I visited this site.. http://code.google.com/p/tvcatchup-xbmc-addon/ and downloaded the tv catchup plugin from there, tried it but still no good so I assume this is a version that doesnt work on xbox? or have I overlooked something? :(

why is this so hard to find?? others must be using it surely?

I need to leave it for tonight as its driving me slightly insane so apologies if I don't reply until tomorrow.
