There are thousands free English movies/TV shows available on the net. However, not all movies are watchable in Malaysia because of few reasons :

1). Slow internet speed cause the movies unable to play smoothly.
Your internet speed bought from unify/streamyx is just last mile, when you stream movies from oversea you do not get the same speed claimed by ISP.


2). Slow content server.
Due to low budget operation, most of the free movies content servers are hosted in low cost shared environment. When the number of concurrent connection reach certain limit, the streaming start lagging.

3). Streaming Technology
Beside the encoding compression, there is Peer to Peer(P2P) technology available in today market. P2P technology stream the video content from the nearby peer , each peer joining to watch the video is a relay to other peer viewers. Further info about P2PTV -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2PTV
Streaming from P2P host will be more smooth than none P2P source.

To enjoy free streaming online, some effort is required to search for good movies and the content server. To reduce the search effort, please feel free to share here if you found any good site which is capable to stream smoothly.

1Channel is crap, try Dailyflix for 1080p 5.1

yep, 1channel is good for popular tv series. subs are available too.

mashup is good too, if not better.

so far, i watched breaking bad and walking dead on these channels, all good.

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Jan 29 2014, 11:22 AM

are there any HD live tv using xbmc?

no HD on live tv xbmc...only movie have HD ...FULL HD and 3D

As per explanation in this thread, there are few reasons that some of the movies not able to stream smoothly, the addon 1channel just consolidate different sources into single catalog, it is not due to 1Channel. The purpose of this thread is to share good streaming source. If anyone found any good source which you watch recently, pls share it here. Such that the rest of the forumer could enjoy the movies and minimize the searching effort. Our objective merely to help forumer who would like to watch movies online via sharing experience repository in this thread.

Bro, pls share the last movies you watch in Dailyfix, would be highly appreciated.


Thank you bro, let us made this thread as informative thread where the beginner could understand and benefit from here immediately. As you know, when you first time enter 1Channel or Mashup, there are too many movies inside which start to confuse the beginner. If lucky you found a good source and you will start to love it. However, if not lucky, you only found lagging source. after few trial, most of the beginner will give up.

If you don't mind, please share your Walking Dead experience, from which addon and the detail source path you watch as per my example in topic#02.



Bro, if you do not have XBMC, you can install PC version of XBMC and test it. Below links might guide you.

i never got anything good from dailyflix using himedia and tv - either the hd stuff stutters, audio noise or dun work at all.

if u dun mind, share with us if u are using xbmc on pc, notebook, mac, ipad or tablet as i suspect that may make a difference? tq.

in the beginning with xbmc, 1channel and mashup works best for me. not hd-720p dd5.1 sutff as most of them lag. some 720p aac 2.0 ok.

then with xunity added, it's a bit of a haywire... too much in there but not many work well. i just wish these guys go separate ways , detach xbmc from xunity. now it's really a mashed-up! still, this is what i found ok at this time with xunity/xbmc frodo 12.3-mashup 1.4.

... imo, tops is mashup, i like ilive-live tv - all the stuff seen in astro
... iwo ok, some smooth stuff
... 1channel - usualy ok, sometimes dun work
... azdrama - sd ok, 720p lag sometimes
... football today all hd streams lag, no fun
... istream - looks promising, mostly ok for sd stuff

my fav source is movreel.

a word about hitv... youku and the rest not so good. best is vqq. been glued to this for weeks now. usually hd works good, if lag, switch to sd, sure ok to finish the episode.

last word - this streaming thingy is far from perfect, so torrenting is still very popular. someone told me what we have now is in many ways same as in the 60s-70s when people buy shortwave (sw) radios to listen to voice of america, bbc, china radio, etc - some channels clear, others very noisy, not everything work... so the phonograph stayed on for a while until cassettes-vhs-cd-dvds-blurays arrive!

not a bad idea f this thread is extended to all good addons, channels and sources!

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Jan 29 2014, 08:12 PM

Good move from nicety.
If anyone can share best free sport channel especially EPL,much appreciated

ya... maybe too early but do we know which addon-channel will do live worldcup 2014 in june-july yet?

Im watching this now, upscale to 4K to extended display

Can try bloodzeed stream using acestream. Live in HD for EPL

how to watch vqq (assuming you are talking about v.qq.com) since i believe this web site is ip restricted to china only?

is this for PC, browser or androidtv, found within xbmc?

any trusted link to install n play?

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Jan 30 2014, 01:28 AM

sorry, i just realised this thread is for all streaming, not just androids or xbmc....

i was refering to hitv, an addon that comes with himedia androids.



same kind of thing like usa based huluplus or netflix where u do need to muck around with ip, open dns, proxies.

google around, u'll find some useful tips. this probably isn't the right place for it...

No worry bro. You have given value input in this thread. I strongly believe about sharing information, at the end it benefit both sender and receiver. Please feel free to share your next movies/tv series.

Happy Watching and Gong Xi Fa Cai

Sorry,i'm still new with xmbc..last nite did try 1 channel to watched game of throne.i wonder how to change resolution from sd to 720p or 1080p.anyone can help?

You cant change resolution 720p to 1080p. But you can do something about resolution here



But only for certain link



anyway all these are waste of time, seriously

For those like science fiction television drama series. Season 2 is ongoing up to episode 13 now.

Title : Revolution Season 2

Story : All electricity on Earth has been disabled within a single night, ranging from computers and electronics to car and jet engines. Trains and cars stopped where they were, ships went dead in the water, and fly-by-wire aircraft fell from the sky and crashed. People were forced to adapt to a world without electricity over the next fifteen years. Due to the collapse of government and public order, many areas are now ruled by warlords and militias.

Player : QVOD -> http://wap.8448.cc/view/index49088.htm

Internet Speed : 4Mbps Streamyx

Take Note : QVOD player is required. However, you could find in 1Channel or Mashup as well.

OP, actually you could printscreen niclely your XBMC via keyboard too without needed to snap it from a camera

To include myself here

Running XBMC for Linux edition currently. The 2 add-ons so far as my favourite are 1Channel and Icefilms. There are others as well, but I'll make these two run first. Have to carefully select the repo as I don't want any xxxx accidentally viewable as my children always looking for their fav animes.

Streamyx 8mbps user I am.

Bro, there are many different sources in 1Channel or Icefilm, pls share the source that you watch smoothly without lagging. This will help others to reduce the searching effort.

Both 1Channel and Icefilm I got it from xbmchub, but I like Icefilm more. For an example sources for any movies I prefer sharing server from 180upload never tried myself other server yet.


Currently playing Avatar 720p HD from that server require just a simple captca, always find that serves offer me lagless streaming most of the time.

Icefilm and Mash Up are the 2 must have add ons. Normally I watch movies and TV shows on Ice films and only those in 720P. If you want to watch 3D Mash Up has some good 3D movies. These 2 channels are more than enough for me.
So far no lagging issues with these channels running HD720 with DTS sound format

As for 1080 I had buffering issues last time but I increase the size for my cache folder (to my HDD - I'm using HTPC for XBMC) the buffering issue reduce and most of the time running smoothly.

To bro Nicety, Can we increase the cache folder size in Q5. In HTPC I did it by enabling the advance setting so that the cache is store in the HDD. Have not try this on Q5 yet (My Q5 is for my 2nd TV and mostly running live TV in NAVI)

P/S Navi is also another must have program add on

Regards

bro, my 1channel gone dead... message is script/link error, something to do with the ban in uk, even ticking on uk proxy at xbmc-xunity doesn't help. any idea what i need to do?

mashup and icefilms - sure winners.

at xunity, istream is quite good too.

Just to add for TS info, I am very seldom to check by category i.e highly rated, recent added etc. I am using search to look for any title that is recall to my mind

But I'll try to remember the path correctly If I watched any HD movies lag free and share it here.

Your mean "advancedsettings.xml" setting? If yes, then it is same as HTPC. Refer to the below link :

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-T...the_video_cache

Fully understood bro :-)

My 1Channel still working well bro :-)

Maybe be internet intermittent.

I found a new clean and simple addon for TV, I feel it is much better than 1Channel and others, no multiple sources just 1 click links and HD shows available.

Try it out, its called TVonline.cc.

haizz...

my xbmc-xunity went haywire this morning in that it wudn't shutdown at exit, 1channel wun work, istream showed nothing available...

so, at last resort, i unistalled and reinstalled xbmc frodo 12.3. got 1 channel, icefilms back to work.

but... can't find mash up! forgot how i got it last time!

any idea where it is located, which repository? in fusion or xfinity?

is a there a zip to download, good for android?

http://www.mashupxbmc.com/

mashup are on their own now, no more under xbmchub. The latest update even includes icefilm,so you dont need icefilm separately. Enjoy.....

tq, tq. you are my savior!

yes, mashup 1.4.0 offers quite a bit more, better organized.

guys n gurls, if u haven't, check it out. be sure to go to mashup settings and add a few more things inside, incl livestream->ilive - this one gives you many live stations of reasonable video quality, a no. of them found in astro like bloomberg and foodnetwork asia!

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Feb 4 2014, 02:16 AM

For local chanel, so far only astro awani work well..can find it in mash up
Full 3d movie lag a lot. Test gravity 3d, maybe due to big ile size n 5.1 ch(chanel huge file).if 720p is ok with 2.0 ch.tested in icefilem(channel movreel).

thanks to TS for sharing this,never knew XBMC capable to stream video

My capability is limited, volunteers are required to share the online movies here .....

bsides these english movies & dramas, any forumers can share the hong kong movies & tvb dramas? online or web also can, but best is if it is full hd or 720p...

the most popular ones are tvb.com and azdrama from browser. some in hd, i think. maybe u already have them...

http://www.tvb.com/
http://azdrama.sx/hk-drama/page-3.html

personally, i prefer a mix of mainland and hk stuff from other sites like vqq, pps and pptv.

i know these sites, but in hd quality looks not tat nice... no full hd as well...

the tvb.com is an official website for hk ppl only...

I found in azdrama.sx add on in XBMC has HK tv series and movies, and it is in cantonese language. You can choose the resolution type for he viewing type.

yes, this azdrama at xbmc works quite well, incl hd stuff. bad news is selection is rather limited.
it only works for the hk and korean shows. china ones, it says not ready.

house of cards is a netflix series, broadcast via web, not normal tv.

season1 was last year, season2 just all released. a political thriller with great drama - conspiracies, betrayals, backstabbing, even murder in the whitehouse.

i just completed watching season2 13 episodes via xbmc. 1channel is the best one to watch as most of the links work, mp4 quality, subtitles easy to find. iwo (i watch online) is good too but subs hard to find as the arrangement is not as good as 1channel. icefilms also has it, even in 720p but i get the lag, no good.

Whats your device for XBMC?

ATV2, OUYA, Nexus 7, Nexus 5

My PC, HTC Butterfly, Himedia Q5ii and Himedia Q5.

just sharing..

http://watchseriesus.com/

Most of the time I used Much Movie HD add on. It not perfect though but ok lah. I running xbmc on HTPC

like

http://www.fengyunzhibo.com/

http://www.youre123.com/

if you have cloudtv, check out the new stuff.

even free content has been improved, a few hd channels too!

under english, nat geo people hd, fox sports, tlc have good video.

there was a new movie channel showing thor dark world but has since disappeared.

can share able to watch live sport TV like Motogp , F1 etc ......

I also want to find a reliable source for sports , I'm looking for channel that has NBA, hope someone can share .

i m not a sports fan but will want to watch worldcup in june-july.

i notice in cloudtv and xbmc navi-x, mashup, there are many channels like fox sports, sky sports, bt sports, star sports, nba, espn, etc.

question is what is found where and when!

Oh now that is for me to explore, hehe. TQ AVFAN

This is a very good site covers almost all sports and some are in HD. Just watch MU vs Liverpool.
Some you need to install software like Acestream or sopcast.

http://www.wiziwig.tv/competition.php?part...ipline=football

About your streamyx 8mbps, have you tried watching 1080p movies? Im using 4mbps currently sometimes struggle to play 720p movies. I know it sucks when your area do not have unifi coverage...
But, i did watch a 1080p movie the other day with 2.0 audio channel smoothly using 'yify movies hd' addon if im not mistaken. It was ~alright as my tv is connected to 2.1 speaker anyway...

This post has been edited by Rustaman69: Mar 17 2014, 03:02 AM

yes, I always put myself to go for 1080p if there are any, if not I'll go to 720p. Overall playing 1080p did a good job in 8mbps provided the sharing server does not crowded. Usually I'll choose 180upload or movreel to play my movies.

I have sopcast , tonight go back and try it out ......thanks bro ......

Work and live balance, my week end movie : The Hunger Game 2012



Story :The nation of Panem consists of a wealthy Capitol ruling twelve poorer districts. As punishment for a past rebellion, each district must provide two "tributes" - one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 selected by lottery (the "Reaping") - once every year to compete in the Hunger Games; they must fight to the death in an arena, with the sole survivor rewarded with fame and wealth.

In District 12, when Primrose Everdeen is chosen in her first Reaping, her older sister Katniss, an expert archer, volunteers to take her place. Peeta Mellark, a baker's son, is selected as the other district tribute. Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol accompanied by their mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, a past District 12 victor and heavy drinker, and chaperone Effie Trinket.

2 new major movies just become available:

xbmc->mashup->hd movies->yify->hobbit: desolation of smaug 1080 aac 2.0

xbmc->mashup->hd movies->yify->47 ronin 1080 aac 2.0

if not playing with home theater for dts/dtshdma audio, these 1080's with stereo are very good.

I found out that dailyflix is showing 720p movie only nowadays, im starting back buying Bluray already

if I have subtitles file how to match for those movie at the XBMC ?

no need separate subtitles files, which i doubt will work on xbmc.
easier to activate xbmc subs (which draws on opensubtitles and/or podnapisi) either at settings or click on the subs icon at bottom right of screen.


latest watched:

xbmc->mashup->hd movies->hackermil hd->tinkerbell and pirate fairy 1080 aac2.0
xbmc->mashup->hd movies->hackermil hd->i, frankenstein 1080 aac2.0 (video good, audio not so good)

both can get the right eng subtitles by clicking on subs icon.

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Mar 24 2014, 03:38 PM

tried on yesterday , just can get English subtitles , I m looking for chinese subtitles due to poor on my English ....hehe

think xbmc offers only english and hebrew subs - which tells u who's brains are behind it.


ext subs like .srt... i doubt you can match them with xbmc online videos. even with downlded ones, not always easy to find the right couples...

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Mar 24 2014, 05:10 PM

I hear from my friend can use one software to edit those downloaded subtitles to match the movie >

wait for me check with him what kinds of software can do it .....

he just ask me to go "shooter "chinese website to download the subtitles , 80 % work find and matched for the movie ....

Hi Bro,

I have presintalled Shooter Subtitle addon in your XBMC, just enable the "Shooter" subtitle as below screen :



P/S : To use Chinese subtitle in XBMC, you need the Chinese Characters set. XBMC 12.2 in my skydrive already included Chinese character set.

xbmc->icefilms->hd movies->lone survivor->hugefiles->720 dolby digital 5.1

good war movie, good audio.

WOW, today just saw the reply .....

hehe, gonna try it out tonight .....

Install the p2p repo inside the xbmc repo. install sopcast in PC. you will find many HD live sports including star sports 1,2,3,4,and F1

Can i use the Xmbc in himedia Q10

XBMC is available in multiple format.

that has two format for android rite ?? one ARM and one is x86 i have done with the ARM with result said not support for the NONE chipset and still haven check with the x86 format

Hi, the Gotham 13.1 doesn't work on Himedia Q10. I tried both already.

Use 12.2 or 12.3 version. My q16 also using this version. memory probem

The version before Gotham 13.1 is working fine. It's 12.3 if I'm not mistaken.

arm is the right one.
all gothams - beta, 13.0, 13.1 - do not work with himedia. i tried them all with q5ii.
generic xbmc 12.2 or 12.3 works somewhat with himedia, but has 720/1080 lag problems. and crashes often unless u place a relevant advancedsettings.xml file in xbmc/userdata folder.

hiplayer (himedia modified) 12.2 found in firmware 1.0.6 eng emmc works very well, will also work if you install this modified apk on older himedia firmwares. i hv been using this version for a few months now, very stable.


back to streaming site....

if u still haven't found a good live stream for worldcup, check out xbmc navi-x, worldcup live or sports link.

there are more than a dozen channels there, all foreign tv stations broadcasting live - azerbaijan, russian, italian, brazilian, austrian, etc.

the best one i found so far is sbs one live hd, labeled #8 worldcup fifa in some links. this is an australian hd broadcast - english commentary, great video, stable.

for himedia, alternative is mangotv's timeshift cctv1hd and cctv5hd, in mandarin, excellent hd video.

I dont know if exists a XMBC addon for this site, i think is available on 'Genesis Addon'
I founded this forum looking on Google, and i want to share here this site: Niter TV

Works amazing on any device and all videos are available on streaming in HD 720 (mostly in 1080p)

This post has been edited by JhonnySins: Oct 25 2014, 02:52 PM

this niter tv is quite good for pc using browser.

yes, think genesis in xbmc is the one but from it, can see it's an "integrator" drawing on links from icefilms, yify and then hugefiles, movreel, etc. not different from mashup, hackermils, demon88, istreams... not sure if this one works differently from the browser one but seems genesis is not as good.

still, nothings beats popcorn time!

here comes a competitor to popcorn time!

the arrival of ZONA, a russian app. zona and popcorn time will give xbmc a run, a nightmare for some others!

the pc version is excellent - movies, tv series, live russian and european tv, music, sports channels. in russian and english.

the android version is very washed down, very limited, only in russian. will need to wait for better future versions.

i can see more of such apps coming, complete with the whole works!

for the interested, u will know what to do:


https://torrentfreak.com/zona-is-a-popcorn-...s-dream-140425/
http://www.geektime.com/2014/04/29/it-happ...ts-even-better/

Slow streaming

which one slow - niter tv, genesis or popcorn time?

using streamyx 8mps slow at popcorn time

try with all other devices off.

if other devices on, using say, 1/2 of 8mbps, u r left with 4mbps=500KBps.
that may be too slow for 1080p. 720p shud be ok.
moreover, streamyx may not be stable and max all the time...
