I know when they launched many months back, they gave free trial.

But yesterday when I visited their website using PC, I could watch the movies and TV shows without having opened any account previously.

What's happening. Is the free trial still on after so many mths ?

Or are they panicking that Netflix is here, and want to give free trial again to attract more people ??

So, what's going on? Anyone can enlighten me ?

U on unifi rite? Unifi get 1 year free iflix subscription. Can watch without login

This post has been edited by zaman_chem: Jan 18 2016, 02:07 PM

I'm on UniFi but I cannot watch without login. They keep asking me to subscribe. Weird.

try changing your dns... faced that problem before... but after changing dns prob solved...

sometimes happened to me,
i refresh few times or re-open browser.

No far from that. I don't even use a fixed internet account, Just using a wireless hotspot service at my apartment.

That I don't know but current iflix promo is 1 year free with unifi.

ur data not finish fast watch iflix? If I'm using my maxis data it will suck it dry.

Ha ha , my Hotspot data unlimited, and best part is it cost me only RM30/- a mth. Only thing it's speed only average 3Mbps so can only watch SD quality (but sometimes look better than SD quality), but both Iflix and Nflix very smooth, not a single hiccup.

But I still curious any else can watch Iflix free currently? Or am I the only one?

I read yesterday actor Will Smith came to MidValley KL and was seen with some some Iflix executives. Maybe he is promoting Iflix.

iFlix signed a deal with TM to provide free service to anyone using UniFi for 1 year. Provided you're using TM's DNS, you'll be able to access the service without registering for an account.

I have already said I don't have any Unifi account. I repeat, I am only using a wireless Hotspot service at my flat and have no fixed internet account with any service provider.

Ssshhh, simply enjoy it while it lasts..

Don't worry, I think I have figured it out.

1 or 2 weeks back, when I tried first tried their website, the page took so long to respond, that it looked like already 'hang'. So I closed it and tried again a few times, but same result.

After trying again for few days later, again same thing, until recently a msg poped up apologising for their failure. After that the page suddenly worked.

I figured the first time I tried, I must have clicked the Free Trial , and after so long I must have forgotten about it. So probably now I am just getting the 1 month free trial , that's all

maybe he come here for contract negotiation term for iflix original tv series. who knows rite?

just to add question on this iflix - for one unifi account, how many devices can use the iflix for free? eg, mobile, 2 ipad...can all 3 devices watch for free 1 year?

Normal iflix can register 5 devices, but can only use 2 at a time I believe.

The 1st 5 devices (that are used to access iflix from Unifi), be it a phone, laptop, desktop or tablet will be able to access iflix for free over the next 12-months using any Internet service provider (ISP). Having 5 devices work on any ISP after the initial activation is pretty generous and I believe the list can't be reset. If you want additional devices, you need to subscribe separately on that device to iflix.

thanks for the explanation..

But I thought I read the FAQ before, if you want to change devices , you can. Just need to remove one from the list and replace with a new one.

Read around a bit and it appears an update to that effect was made last month. It does seem possible to remove a previously registered device in iflix’s settings and register the new one.
Sos.

Hei..today while watching iflix. I go do clear browser history. Then it ask me to sign in again for iflix. Once i go in, it say

"You have exceeded the number of allowed devices (maximum of 5) for your household"

How to solve? Using unifi does not require sign in..just enter iflix url and play. now it come out this error

Did you read the previous post(s)?

Hi..yes..i face exact same problem like what sos provided-->leong say in that post..already ask thru their fb page for help and also use their contact us system to ask..so far no reply yet..

Wonder there is any solution

So you tried deregistering or deactivating a device and can't? Can you confirm that and also that you already have 5 devices registered under your Unifi account? Are you using the same browser that was initially running iflix before clearing the browser's history? Perhaps, it's a bug.

Hi guys,

I got solution from iflix thru fb. Below is the reply provided by them. I copy paste here
"Hi there!

Oh my! About the Device Full error… These pesky bugs are a nuisance, aren’t they? Don’t worry, there’s a solution for every problem. We’re in the midst of getting it fixed permanently. For now, please follow these troubleshooting tips:
1. Copy and paste this address on your browser: https://play.iflix.com/devices
2. Remove the devices on the list
3. Clear all cache cookies on web browser (For Chrome: My History > Clear browsing data)
4. Relaunch web browser

been playing with iflix last couple of hours...

just to share:

.. it says 1 yr free for unifi customers.
.. it says up to 5 devices allowed.
.. it says if already 5 devices, it takes 30 days to remove one, get another device going.
.. i installed on pc, it reads "infinite, expiry 2115".
.. i now have it working on pc, ipad and smart 4k tv.
.. for smart tv, can't get it on playstore direct.
.. i got it on android box, saved the apk, install on smart tv via usb/es file explorer.
.. iflix comes out pretty poor on pc, but comes out quite good on smart uhd4k tv!
.. compared to NETFLIX, it is less friendly with navigation, lack of subs for some videos.
.. reliable, library OK.


iflix is OK, enjoy!

edited:

.. has a small collection of chinese, korean, filipino and malay tv shows.
.. video is basically 480p, ok if tv does a good upscaling job.
.. intermittent hiccups and slow navigation sometimes but overall, acceptable.
.. a much cheaper but lower quality version of netflix.

I tried installing the apk on my Sharp UE630X, after installing the app doesn't appear. Any ideas how to solve this?

all apps installed on yr own and not from playstore do not appear on launcher.

after installing the apk with es file explorer, go to settings, apps, select and open it.

have to open it this way every time.

iflix is far less user friendly than netflix.

on ue630x, u will need to use both remote and mouse to get full navigational properties.

I managed to find it, yes you are right it does not show. I'm using a wireless keyboard with built in mouse so it's ok.

if u look a little closer, the android in the tv is a lollipop 5.1, 8gb.

just for fun, i installed a few of my fav apps on it, they all work.

which is handy as i can now move some small apps from android box to android tv.

I have around 10GB of free space, so I think different models have different memory. Good to know it has the latest Andriod also. Only thing I'm not so used to Android TV, prefer the Android that we use on our phones. There's also a slot to add additional memory via SD Card, did you try using it?

I managed to install popcorn time.. any other good apps to recommend? I actually sold my Xiaomi Mi Box as both apps ie. Netflix and Kodi can be used on the TV.

memory... i thought i saw 8gb, then i saw 9.5gb!

so, not sure if the micro card used is actually 16gb, quite a lot used for total tv/android firmwares, mandatory apps, 9-10 gb is the balance now.

extra sd card.. i tried that before for popcorn on android box, does not work, something to do with i/o protocols. but u can try.

kodi can become a very large file if u keep putting in all kinds of repos and addons.

other apps - u will find some suggestions in the androidbox and kodi threads.

anybody got free iflix with 4mbps streamyx?

I keep getting WELL, THIS IS EMBARRASSING

Something went wrong with the video you're trying to watch. It'll be ready to play again once we fix the issue.

To report any technical shenanigans, say hi to the code monkeys on our feedback page.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

what device r u using?

iflix does not work on some devices.

i know it works on pc's, ipad's, smart tv's. and some androids, not all.

PC, Chrome. Also not working on Chromecast.

It works on my Chromecast.

this is strange.

i am on windows 8.1, chrome, works very well.

hi guys,

I have this m8 android media player and I'm trying to get it to run iflix. However, I can only hear the audio while the video is blank. Anybody has any idea how to fix this? Or is it simply not supported..


Attached thumbnail(s)

Its possible the latest apk is unsupported... Contact the iflix team for a fix and try searching around for older apk versions... Might get lucky.

after a few weeks of playing with iflix, let me share what i know or what i think i know about it...

.. it is auto detect on unifi or (streamyx), it does NOT need email/fb registration.
.. i had used diff dns's, does not seem to matter.
.. 5 devices are allowed to register, i.e. app installed, profile loaded.
.. only 2 devices allowed work at any one time.
.. works on ipad, should be same for all mobile phones and tablets.
.. works in smart tv's.
.. works on some android boxes, does not work on others.

.. common problems - "oops, embarrassing", ask for fb log in, email to register, blank screen, etc..

if the request to register pops up on one device, go to another one that works to delete device that is not working from the profile, wait 10 mins, then try again, i.e. re-register. it worked for me.

I don't know whether to share this for those on 1 mth trial versions , but I'll take the risk of Iflix pluggng the loophole.

Just before your 1 mth Trial ends, clear the Browser cache (Windows, don't know about Android), and start a Trial again. Then give another email address and start another free 1 mth trial.

I will continue doing this every mth until they end their 1 mth free trial campaign

netflix is 1 month.

ilfix is 1 yr, i think.

Mine is not TM Unifi or Streamyx. I am on wireless hotspot, remember . As stated, I am sharing this only with those on 1 mth free trial (that excludes TM Users)

This is normal.. Possibly cuz their trial system is based on email registration & stored cookies... The primary reason why Netflix requires a charge card or PayPal account linked to one's trial account.. Free emails can be gotten in seconds, PayPal & bank card verifications are much more of a hassle. Eventually, one will run out of charge cards.. Same can't be said for new emails.

Edit: Disclaimer notice... Such techniques are frowned upon..

This post has been edited by voncrane: Feb 21 2016, 11:02 PM

Nothing to frown upon. I am grinning from ear to ear

They didn't say anything about not allowed to use different emails for free trial. Until they plug their loophole, it's their problem, not mine.

If people can use Kodi to watch Live Events, Movies, TV shows for free that are protected by copyright, what I am doing is nothing compared

Hey, no argument here.. It's a disclaimer incase some folks have funny ideas.. A man's got to do what a man's got to do . However, just cuz you refuse to see it as your problem does not make it theirs.. As such practices, at the very minimum, are ethically & morally wrong. We can't deny that. Iflix, Netflix, big media trusts us to be fair (well... ). Summarily, one does not commit a smaller crime, then when caught & tried, points at others who committed bigger crimes and got away with it.. The hammer's going to fall regardless.

If the Star Newspaper prints a free cupon cut-out to redeem a free Burger at McDonalds, and doesn't say one person is entitled to one Burger only, then it's nothing wrong for me to use 10 different cupons to claim 10 Burgers.

There's nothing immoral here .

If want to talk about morally wrong, then like you and me viewing copyrighted stuff for free using 'ahem' Kodi add-ons

Ehem Ehem.. You.. Me...? What is this Kodi addins you speaks about. You means the nursery rhyme Ko Ko Ko Kodi or is like a cultural dances? Ehem Ehem...

Beats me, You are the greatest contributor at Kodi 'add-pretend' threads , hehe

on IFLIX:

X-Files, 9 seasons. goes way back, i have all the DVD's.

this is one of the best tv series ever made.

In one of the longest-running science fiction series in network TV history, FBI special agents investigate unexplained, mind-bending cases known as "X-Files." Though the government is convinced that the outlandish reports are false, conspiracy theorist Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and realist Dana Sc… More
First episode date: September 10, 1993

also watched the 6 episodes season 10 which just concluded.

season 10B or 11 will return later this year or 2017, i am sure. agents mulder&scully, doggett&reyes will probably be in and out as guests stars while miller and einstein take over.


also on iflix, GODFATHER trilogy. watch this and u dun need to watch any other american gangster/mafia movie.

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Feb 24 2016, 07:27 PM

Just started watching the very first episode of X-Files yesterday. Picture quite grainy due to made for SD CRT TV (Episodes started in early 1990s I think.

Bought back memories of yesteryears. How time has flown,

yep, the videos are poor, worse than my DVD's!

i checked netflix as well - all 9 seasons in HD, DD5.1.

that's the diff between the two.

Well and good on your 30mbps Unifi. But on my slow connection , generally SD from my Iflix still looks better than Netflix SD.

Yup, Netflix offers the remastered versions.. 1080p widescreen. Previously aired in 4:3 format.. Ah, memories..

LOL, that's why after I watched Netflix, I had trouble adjusting back to the poor quality of iflix

it's made worst when SD is up-scaled to 4k

no doubt. i seem to be addicted to netflix, hardly go to iflix anymore.

to be honest, with netflix (movies, tv series, documentaries) and hypptv (news, living, food, bbc earth shows), even my android box now get less attention.

the root reason: HD-UHD-4K spoils you bad!

I reverse gear...

Becos I gave up Netflix after getting blocked for US content. Not worth RM42 pm for such limited content, which is like 20% of US content for same price.

IFlix... Not too bad and after I checked in detail. They don't have the latest season but have great tv shows like Vikings, Homeland, Arrow, Flash, Person of Interest... which Netflix may not have. Quite a lot of Korean tv series, but lacking in Chinese series.

They are all SD but with upscaling, close to 480p, very watchable.

The apk's do not work on many devices, but works fine on smart tv's, I believe.

Look for version 2.1.10.0. 2.1.11.0 does not work on my tv.

Anyone who knows a great version that works on any android box, please share!

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Mar 11 2016, 07:47 PM

I have never used Iflix, but Unotelly still works with Netlfix for unlocking US content...so I am keeping my subscription.

If you want current TV , Hulu has a great mix with lots of current releases....Blindspot, Jimmy Kimmel, Hells Kitchen, Blacklist, Bachelor etc etc. Some Korean and Chinese dramas too which the wife enjoys.

thanks for info.

i am kinda lazy to go thru vpn, smart dns, credit cards... etc.

just like the idea of hassle free.

moreover, i seldom run out of things to watch.

with hypptv, iflix, android apps and torrent, will never run out of things to watch.

I hear you, likewise. I don't use a VPN and I don't torrent...it's pretty hassle free the way I have things setup. I do use a lot of American services... NFL games, NBA games, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime.

I'll consider Iflix if they ever bump up their Audio and Picture quality.

video... may depend on the particular video, device or tv.

some have commented poor video on their tv's/pcs.

but i find many videos acceptable on my smart tv.

i guess with upscaling, it can get close to 480p.

stability - yes. watched several episodes of documentary, no problem.

I have concerns with 720p or low bitrate 1080p files on a 1080p TV... Can't imagine "close to" 480p on a 4k TV...

trust me, it's not bad.

and i am not one that takes low standards.

but have to say, that applies to some videos, not all of them.

all these while I am able to access iflix without login with the iflix apps on android TV box, but now it prompted me to login in.... what happen? anyone can help?

Email iflix support, so far no reply yet. and can't find any phone number to call the support.

i assume u r tm customer, 1 yr foc...



yes, this issue is common, seen it before.

same box? did u use iflix in other devices?

i think it is due to the lag iflx has in determining how many devices u have installed iflix. if it exceeds the limit, it will block u this way. need to remove one or two, deregister, wait for it to clean out. time required... i have read 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, it's unclear!

the best way to deal with this is to deregister from all yr devices totally, start again. that's what i did, able to get two devices working again right after that.

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Mar 14 2016, 01:22 PM

I see, am using 2 iPads and 1 TV Box at home to watch. All these while it is ok, until yesterday nite.

Btw, how to deregister?

I did not register so far, when first download the iflix apps on my Android TV Box, straight away I can watch movie on iflix without registration.

Max, is 2 devices at any time rite?

btw, thanks for replying

If TM customer, no need to register. They auto register when any device of yours access it.

I think android cannot deregister, ipad not sure. I did on pc. Can check iflix website for instructions too.

This post has been edited by AVFAN: Mar 14 2016, 04:58 PM

If this is just happening on the Android TV box.... Launch iflix, if it still prompts you to login, restart your router and force-close or kill the iflix app...upon router bootup completion, restart the iflix app. It should auto-login. Usually a force-close or 2 fixes it.

ok, thanks AVFAN and voncrane, will restart my router tonite... let see how it goes..

Re-started my router yesterday, initally it won't work, still prompted me to login, after re-start my Andriod device and it works again.

thanks guy.

Yeah, usually the force closing simulates a reboot for the app forcing it to reload... Figured you could get away without having to do a full reboot...

Unifi Free iFlix 1 year? woah so nice~

i have a confession to make...

i like to eat and cook a bit.

and i recommend these two food series on iflix:

.. destination flavor japan - great series to understand japanese food, the ingredients, techniques, the culture, etc.
.. ask the butcher - wonderful series on meats - lamb, pork, poultry, beef... final episode on wagyu is mouth watering.

they are in SD but with good upscaling, more like 576p. so, good enough.


if you find those two interesting, i suggest u go to netflix and watch:

.. cooked - highly educational, "you are what you eat",
.. mind of a chef - the secrets of some foods, what world class chefs are experimenting with.

enjoy!

Just subscribe to unifi...for iflix...how to connect iflix to my philips led tv?
For ipad, pc, mobile very striaghtfoward...how bout my tv...pls help

Get an external media player that supports iflix... Connect to your TV... Profit!

I'm having the 1 yr free for Streamyx subscribers. 2 weeks ago i could play iflix on my laptop now cannot. just the black screen and the loading circle going round and round and round.

Works on my Ipad Air

But on Galaxy note 4 gets the Well this is embarassing message.

Dang this is getting irritatingla.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Apps can be finicky.. Probably a server side issue.. Especially if rebooting the laptop doesn't solve the issue.. Try different browsers..

Rebooted many times used Chrome, Explorer...booo hooooo

phone oso rebooted. yikes. i was halfway thru a show that isn't on Msia Netflix either.

thanky.

And their customer service isn't helping. So many mails and 3, 4 days oredi no solution. sigh.

after unifi free account 1 year, now i have extended the service during 11.11 sales.. RM98 for 2 years..

but the problem is, i can't login the iflix when i am not in unifi network.. can't even set the username and password to login for my iflix account...

I thought TM extended another year for iFlix. The screen displayed when I checked under subscription 😊

Yes, i have same, till 31 dec 2017.

Letting go my 6 month iflix Subscription voucher At only rm25 anyone interested can pm tqvm

How. to obtain the username and password sifu? Also does it work on Android box instead of tm STB box?

Asking on behalf of friend...😊

This post has been edited by GuyM: Dec 30 2016, 09:36 PM

this question has puzzled a lot of people. but not me.

there is no need for id/password.

iflix auto detects - once it detects unifi, qualified, subscription valid (or still free), it just work.

tm stb - dunno.

android box - some work, some don't... like aotg, hypp e'where.

works fine with smart tv, tablet and phone - all auto detect if on valid unifi, ethernet or wifi.

What AVFAN says...

I am on 8mbps it comes FREE

im unifi customer, watch iflix on laptop no problem because auto detect, so no need to login.

But when try to watch iflix on my smart tv (sony bravia W650D), asking for account & password..?? can anyone help me on this. TQ

iflix - TM unifi no login credential account t really troublesome the users.
whenever I am using mobile data during travel, it will not detect my account and sometimes even ask me to create free trial account with telco (Maxis. Digi)

end up, i asked iflix support to transfer my subscription to my email ID instead.

Thanks for pointing this out. A more workable alternative than having to deal with the occasional failure to detect the TM account.

how u guys watch ur iflix? from mobile and com?

it should be the same for google android smart tv - auto detect.

try uninstall, reinstall.
