Hello
I am having issues with vod movies not playing at all. Live tv works great though. On my different box VOD plays no issues.
Thanks for your help

I am guilty of not following this thru as some time ago it was seen that the VODs were not working on the xtreamx box. Actually there were a few that would work but mostly not.
What we need to do is what dishuser mentioned and find a way to use an external Player and not the default Player.
"The illusion of freedom will continue for as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will take down the scenery, move the tables and chairs out of the way, then they will pull back the curtains and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

VODs m3u Playlist is working thru my installed Perfect Player on the Xtreamz box. This is a different method which does not need the boxes MAC and which would need either a copy of the m3u Playlist on a USB drive or the URL that points to the m3u Playlist.
All the VODs work now with this method. However there is freezing. I have not singled this out to any specific cause yet, but I am still working on it.
And next I will see what happens if I install another Player onto the xtreamz and try using that in place of their default Player.
As it stands now, I do not see where it allows using an external Player, but maybe if I install it then a pop up message may appear asking me which Player I want to use .... we will see

Show below is the current Media Player installed as Default Player on the Xtreamz Z1 box.
-Video 1.82-20140122-4.4.apk
ID: android.rk.RockVideoPlayer
Size is 903411
Updated 2015-02-2
Android OS: Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.1 - 4.0.2 API level 14, NDK 7 or higher
Version: 1.82-20140122-4.4 (1 code)
So perhaps an updated version of that same Player would work. Other versions of these Players can be found thru that same coded link shown above.Code:http://android-rockvideoplayer.apk.black/8570428-video-1.82-20140122-4.4/
But the .apk version they give you does not have a correct file name for .apk loading, it instead ends with some sort of HashTag (but it does show in Properties as an .apk file) or could be other reasons why it won't load, perhaps because other Player of same brand needs un-installing first, but I do not want to do that.
Anyway, I have tried a couple other popular Players so far and am not getting any prompt to choose Players... Default Player is still ummmm, defaulted

Thank you for the replies.
I tried to install different players but still not working. I am not sure on how to change the default player or how to install the latest version of rockvideo player
Will there be any updates soon to address this issue on x1 box?
only thing you can do is to install Perfect Player and run your VODs thru an M3u Playlist, either with the Playlist on a USB drive or enter the Playlist's URL into Perfect Player setup.
Check the m3u Playlist sub-forum section here at iptvtalk. It will show you how to get the PerfectP layer installed and working.

Thank you very much crazed 7.2.
I was hoping that there would be an update regarding this issue and be able to use VOD for movies .
Is this forum here the official support for this box?
I might have to switch back to my old avov plus box for now
Thanks again
It may seem like alot of work, but really it is very easy to get these VODs working thru that Perfect Player I had described.
Of the 3 links I posted above, the first will lead to the m3u sub-forum here on site. Lots of info in there.
That last link leads to a sorted and categorized VOD Playlist.
Directions are included.
As I mentioned thou, looking at the amount of info , it makes it seem a daunting task... but it is actually rather easy.
In fact, there are only a few steps you would need to do...

Xtreamz may or may not release more updates for their boxes, we do not know.
Recently we have not heard from them.
I would not wait thou, I would (and have) installed Perfect Player on the xtreamz box and you will then get VODs working thru the m3u Playlist.
With that template, you will get lots of organization and sorting. It makes navigating them VODs and finding what you want a breeze
The rewards are great... for your time in figuring it all out
If you need help or direction along the way, just ask

and I should mention too that you do not have to use an edited playlist as I linked to before. You can just get a copy of the Playlist from the service website and use that on Perfect Player, no editing needed. You will get your VODs and LiveTV on the same Playlist that way... but you will not get the sorting and organization as you would with the edited list.
