All, The current version of the slingfront plugin for kodi is incompatible with the latest v17.0 Krypton which is about to drop (im running beta 7). Kodi quickly disables it when fired up Please can we get an updated version to keep this app alive and useful? Thanks

OK CRACKED IT!! I think in my account profile (accounts.slingbox.com) i had inadvertently changed my country to UK which is where my slingbox hardware is located. I am in Canada however. But get this, i set it to USA and bingo it worked again. In both IE and chrome i also went to slingbox.com and changed my region (top right) both to USA and the pages started loading fast again like before. Slingbox is a weird and temperamental service but now its working again im not touching anything!!!

Its very strange, so i came to slingfront one day and when it fired up there was no slingbox to select in "View Slingboxes". I went into settings, "Edit Slingboxes" and it was still nowhere to be seen. So i then went to settings "Change Account" entered my details and got a point blank "Login Failed" Naturally i assumed the slingplayer web plugin no longer functioned but heres the weird things: I can login fine through the IE web interface (with an updated plugin), chrome web interface, windows desktop app, amazon fire tv box and ipad app All of the slingbox websites (main site, forum, anything) are all super slow to load from within my network now. Every other website is fast I tried the slingbox website from outside my netork and it loaded very fast I tried logging into slingfront from outside my network using a PC i have setup in another country and still got the "Login Failed" Checked my router settings, disabled firewall and URL filtering and still getting the same problems Pulling my hair out

Looks like sling have updated their web interface to only allow the most recent version of the web plugin. I cant login through slingfront now, can anyone else confirm please?

oh and by the way i have tried adjusting the program shortcut so that it loads with the fullscreen flag -fs still no joy

I have remapped as best i can using the slingfron interface and the logitech harmony software. This is very difficult to do though as there are lots of hard coded keys you have to avoid. Its difficult to find vacant keys that fit in with the logitech harmony software and are not one of those hard coded in slingfront please fix

Gents, I am using slingfront via the KODI plugin which essentially fires up slingfront on top of KODI. Slingfront opens fine and i am able to watch the feed with no issue (save the hardcoded keys in my last thread) except that after around 10 minutes of viewing the PROGRAMS screen of KODI appears on top of the slingfront feed. When this happens the KODI screen is all that can be seen but slingfront continues to play in the background (you can hear it). If i hit alt + f4 kodi shuts down and the slingfront screen is visible again. To cut a long story short i need something to keep slingfront on top when it is open Any ideas? Cheers

Left my HTPC for a few hours..... low and behold slingfront is working again Definately an issue in there somewhere

Been meaning to write this out for a while now but havent had time Incase anyone hasnt noticed there are many (possibly all) slingfront app commands which are "hard coded" to particular keyboard keys and cannot be changed. Even if you go into the keyboard config.ini and wipe out all key mappings these hard coded keys will still carry out the app functions. For example..... try pressing the left alt key and see what happens Now clear out your keyboard config.ini and run through the keyboard and see what happens This is a total and utter ball ache for setting up your keyboard commands, particularly if you use a logitech harmony and DONT WANT/USE SLINGFRONT APP COMMANDS but you want to use one of the assigned keys Please can you fix it so there are no hard coded keys???????

I get this issue intermittently also. Im running W7 x86 and from time to time when i fire up slingfront it sits on the "Loading Slingboxes....." screen for a few minutes, then gets to the main menu where if i click to "View Slingboxes" my slingbox has been wiped out and there is nothing for me to press. Its doing it right now actually which is a ball ache..... tried restarting pc, slingfront, everything Ive had this before and it went away after a few days but who knows what will happen this time Anyone got any ideas?

Any chance we can get slingfront to use the updated web plugin? Sometimes a few tweaks are needed to the slingbox configuration which is only accessible from the web client. Currently you would have to install the new plugin, change settings, reinstall slingfront and older web plugin just to make a change Cheers

Hmmmm shame you can't reproduce, I just reinstated my whole HTPC and unfortunately the problem persists on a fresh install

any update on this? is anyone else having the same issue? Seems pretty quiet this forum

Nope same both ways, its as if certain functions "remember" their default bindings even when set to =0 so if you reallocate the default key to something else the original function is executed. Try setting anything to the "P" key e.g. play. press the button on your remote and it might turn your freesat/freeview box off like mine does.

Slingfront app... whether i run it from XBMC or straight from dektop SlingFront.exe process continues to run on app exit (either via alt+f4 or "exit app") And if i enter/exit again there will be two SlingFront.exe processes still runnning and so on
