Installation
Download and install the anarchintosh-projects's repository. It will automatically update for you when a new version is available.
1. SSH the downloaded zip file to /var/mobile/
2. Open XBMC
3. Go to System > Settings > Add-ons > “Install From ZIP” select the repo zip. Once that’s done, make sure restart XBMC.
4. Navigate to System > Settings > Add-ons > “Get Add-ons” > “anarchintosh-projects's Repository” > Video Add-Ons > IceFilms Plugin to install the plugin.
Once it is enabled it can be found in Video Add-ons.
Added support for VidHog, UploadOrb, and ShareBees!
We encourage all link hunters to try to add links from these hosts (and also from 180Upload) rather than from RapidShare. Also sometime in the future we plan on preventing new RapidShare links from being added to icefilms. Nothing to worry about just yet, but prolly don't go buying a bunch of rapids.
Unstreamable .mp4 files
A lot of links added lately have been .mp4 files. Many of these .mp4 files contain some strange index issue that requires you to completely download the entire .mp4 file before it will allow you to play it in a video player. Really internet? We were so happy with AVIs
Buffering problems?
If you have buffering issues you can mess with your advanced settings.xml. I have a basic one here which simply specified unlimited cache. Note that XBMC will use 3 times the amount of RAM as the size of the file. For example, if you have buffered 100% of a 1gb file, it will take up 3gb RAM. If you have a limited amount of RAM, you may need to set cachemembuffer according to how much RAM you can afford.
If all of the above doesn't work, try a different source.
