Loving the new update! Thanks a lot (:

A few things:

-Can we change our account info?

-Is there going to be an expiration date for the pro features?

-What's the proper way to spell: kokotime KokoTime or Kokotime? (I don't see consistency in this particular text all over the app or outside it, eg: XDA Labs).

-The 'Buy Pro' options don't disappear right away after logging in, and a similar button appears inside the Account Info (I think it shouldn't if a user already bought the pro version).

-There are a few grammar mistakes that need to be corrected (sorry to bug you with this again).

-Is DNLA cast feature to be expected?

-How can we the users help to improve the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Glad to know you are enjoying the update I tried my best to make it worth the wait.

I will try to answer all your questions as clear as possible to help those who might ask the same :

Can we change our account info?

For the moment the only info you are allowed to change is your account password, this can be done in app after you sign in. Your email account can be changed by sending an email to support but you will need to have access to the new and previous account.

Is there going to be an expiration date for the pro features?

Well since version 2.0 there already is, but users who purchased premium before version 2.0 will not need to worry about purchasing again before 2025, you can check your expiration date on the account info page inside the app.

What's the proper way to spell: kokotime KokoTime or Kokotime?

The proper way is Kokotime just like it is displayed on the app and on your launcher, and on the website. I will fix the xda labs name.

The 'Buy Pro' options don't disappear right away after logging in, and a similar button appears inside the Account Info (I think it shouldn't if a user already bought the pro version).

This is because you can choose to extend your premium subscription before it ends or if you feel like it purchase a couple years in advance. It is removed from the main menu after you restart the app but stays in account info page in case you need to renew your subscription.

There are a few grammar mistakes that need to be corrected

I don't doubt it, my main language is not English so I do my best to try and get it right. I will be adding a Github repo for app text to users can contribute or make translations for the current text displayed inside the app.

Is DNLA cast feature to be expected?

The issue with DNLA is that it has a lot of restrictions when it comes to streaming and casting, it is not natively supported by android (By that I mean there is no official SDK for DNLA casting) so it will require a lot of time since everything needs to be done from A-Z. I will probably consider it in the future but the current features are not yet finished so I will not start working on that until everything is finished on the current version.

How can we the users help to improve the app?

The best way would be to report bugs, there is a LOT of devices out there and I cannot test the app on each and every single one, and since the addon system was introduced things got quite complex and the app behaves differently on every device, so feedback will help a lot. Also, any ideas, or features you think can be added to make the app better are most welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] DallasBelt:
Thanks a lot! Really, you are very committed to this project and it shows. I wouldn't mind buying the subscription again (on 2025 :D) but I was a pro user before v2.0 so.. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Not able to play Video

I am using Watch series add on .And connected to opera VPN US . But still the video is not playing. Can anyone please suggest an addon or any work around ?
[Android Apps and Games] MrWilsonxD:
[MENTION=7273721]Scrdev94[/MENTION], I'm having some issues getting my account created. I've had pro since long before 2.0, I'm trying to activate my code, but I can't create an account to do so..

Furthermore, videos seem to constantly be freezing and rebuffering.. Was trying to watch several movies with my lady and every 20 seconds they had to buffer. My internet connection was plenty strong, I had just power cycled the box and the hiccups persisted.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

If you were pro before the update your account was automatically created, your username is your payment email and your password is your old activation code. About the rebuffering I believe this is an issue with the providers, some providers have slow speed some have better ones, you can change the source from the top right menu of the video player.

I keep getting a problem with installing add-on he's time I try and install an add-on from app. Is there something that I'm missing?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there, where did you install the app from ? From the website or from playstore ?
[Android Apps and Games] Nmercado:
From the XDA app
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
What is the issue exactly ? Can you see the addons om the store but you cant install them ?
[Android Apps and Games] Nmercado:
I see the add-ons and when I click to download them it says that there was a problem installing the Adam and that's all it says. I'm going to try uninstall and reinstall again this time from the Google Play store and see if they had the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
I would not advise you to install the playstore version first of all because it is not up to date and second it is not linked to an addon repository. The issue seems to be from the device itself, are you low om storage ? Device storage not external, do you have anything blocking downloads ? What device or OS are you using ?
[Android Apps and Games] Nmercado:
Well I never claimed to be a smart man, but I figured it out. I needed to be connected to WiFi and the add-ons downloaded. So go figure.

Mine force closes everytime I try to cast to my Chromecast. No matter from what add-on it is.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Fixed in latest update, was a small bug sorry
[Android Apps and Games] lovonyx:
Nothing is playing man. It shows "can't fetch sources." Running latest build installed via XDA lab. I can see thumbnails but unable to play any content. Am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Can I get more info on your device ? Does this happen with all the addons ?
[Android Apps and Games] lovonyx:
No content displayed by both primewire addon (just blank screen).

Animefreak is working but sometimes app crashes.

From rest of the two addons thumbnails is displaying and when I tap on any of the content from these two addons it displays "can't fetch sources".

I think I covered all the 5 default addons.

Device is OnePlus X running AOSP-JDC Nougat rooted by magisk.

App crashing is only observed in Animefreak.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
The thing is the addons are not developed or maintained by us, they are created and uploaded to the store by the community, what I can do is try to find out if the error is caused by the app or the addon to try and fix it. When exactly is the app crashing ? And for the other addons does the "can't fetch sources" error appear for ALL the content or only for some shows or movies ? If only for some then it probably is an issue with the addon. The addons in the store are fetched from the repo and will update automatically when an update is available also the addons from the store are the ones uploaded to the server at the time you open, there is no default addons.
[Android Apps and Games] lovonyx:
under anime.....as soon as i tapped on the very first content app crashes. Again I randomly selected other show and it was working (no crash during playing) and then i select other and the app crashes. so its just random. And i don't watch anime man :o. I just checked this addon for testing purpose. So overall crash happened after tapping on the anime content.

"can't fetch sources" error appears for all the shows and movies under those two addons mentioned. These two addons is my prime focus.

And for the remaining two no content is displaying.

Otherwise the overall looks and transition are awesome. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Okay then thanks for the feedback I will try and reproduce the issue and try and find out what causes it. You can always try using a VPN, since some addons use services unavailable in some countries so that might solve some issues. I will see if other users report the issue so I can find out what is causing it. And glad to know you like the UI but I bet you would like it better if it wasn't having any issues :p
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, unfortunately addons are not part of the app itself, an update to the app does not update the addons since they are extensions downloaded and installed separately but they update automatically once their developer uploads a new version. However what you seem to be describing is a bit strange, try removing then reinstalling the addon if not it might be an OS issue since the android you indicated is really old, even though it is supported I haven't done intensive testing on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Well if the addon is behaving incorrectly it can sometimes crash the app, the whole addon system is a bit unstable for the moment. If you can send me a logcat of after the crash I could probably find the cause of this issue. You can send it by mail to support@kokotime.tv
[Android Apps and Games] boug94:
I uploaded a flixanity addon to the store for those who haven't noticed, just a small heads up. If you guys want me to create an addon for a website I would also be happy to try :)
[Android Apps and Games] Wikdclown:
A few off the top o my head, 9anime,kissanime,kimcartoon,watchcartoononline,alluc,openload etc,etc lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Wikdclown:
After trying this out i have to say with the right addons made for it, it could easily make kodi useless. Better layout, features the list goes on, there is one thing it could use is trakt support which i hope is added later. Hope this app really takes off.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, thanks for the small review, we are currently working on the addon system to bring more addon types to the app with each addon type having it's own specific layout optimized for it's content. The addon system will also be made simpler and we will try and add built in support to more languages like javascript, python (even though this can already be done by packing the needed libraries in your addon) to attract more developers. Is there a reason why users are asking for trakt support ? The app already keeps track of your watching content and will soon add synchronisation support between devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Wikdclown:
Main reasons for Trakt is because take someone like me who has HUGE trakt list, it would take a long time to manually add each show to the app also Trakt has watchlists, access to other users lists and it's nice to have all that data in one place that can be shared across a bunch of different apps.
[Android Apps and Games] chimmychonga:
Hey Dev,

Great app. Kudos!! Just one question. Where can I access the downloaded files ? When I click on the download button it says downloading but then I cannot find the downloaded file. Is there any menu that I cannot locate. Thank you .
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there, the downloaded files will be found in the downloaded section on the main menu. Scroll to the "More" section and you will find a button called "Downloaded" click on it to access your downloaded content. Kokotime does not mix up content downloaded from addons with content available on your storage. Content downloaded with Kokotime can only be accessed through Kokotime.
[Android Apps and Games] Ives314:
If I go pro. And I have to reinstall the app. Because Lord knows I love flashing everything. Is there a login or something to let the app know I have pro?

Nevermind about the question above. I signed up anyway..lol

Also what is my device limit I just noticed it. I work at Verizon and I have tablet there. I have Nexus 9 for almost every room in my house. And I'm always breaking and buying things.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there, to answer your first question, yes, you sign in with your account to get the premium access. Before the latest update it was with activation codes and users had to request a new code after each flash but this was all fixed with the account system.

The device limit is currently 5 or 6 I am not really sure will need to recheck. The device limit is the number of devices that can be signed in at once, to remove a device from the connected devices you just simply need to log out.
[Android Apps and Games] Wikdclown:
After some use i've noticed a few things, when you are inside a addon like the primewire one itd be nice to have more browsing options other than genre, a alphabetical list would be nice or browse by actor, network, etc. Another thing i noticed was when you first startup the app it shows recently watched but when you click on the show it seems to partially load it and after you wait awhile it will eventually (1-2 minutes) load the seasons/episodes. Sometimes the player seems to get 'stuck' on links it can't resolve or something, it will try to load a link forever but when i manually select a different link it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
Trakt & real-debrid are in my eyes 2 important things with streaming.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWilsonxD:
Is anyone else having extreme difficulty getting anything to stream to Chromecast lately?
[Android Apps and Games] rodogg88:
I have tried your app on a first generation amazon firestick. It installs ok but it seems to be a memory hog on the firestick. starting up takes a while but ones its up you can navigate the menus quickly. Although remote friendly, the menu is not 100% remote friendly as sometimes scrolling to the top of the app with a remote can be tricky. my biggest issue with the app is playing a video. i am running the firestick on comcast 200mb internet and the router is right underneath the firestick. playing videos on kokotime (no matter the quality) plays and freezes, plays and freezes. no smooth playback. not sure of you can look into it or tell me how to generate a log for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there, I haven't done any testing on the firestick so I can not guarantee you best user experience on a first generation firestick. About the bug on the main menu I am well aware of it and I have been trying to find the cause of this glitch that happens when navigating with a controller and I found the issue and fixed it a dew days ago and will release an update with a fix soon. Now about the freezing I am 100% sure it is a source issue and not an issue with the video player, the easiest way to fix this and to get smooth playback is to change the video source by selecting a faster video server from the top right options menu. Some addons use slow servers so it is always a good idea to check the available video sources and choose the best one.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Change the videosource by selecting the menu on thw top right and selecting a faster source. It will solve your issue if casting is slow or if the automatically selected source does not work on Chromecast
[Android Apps and Games] rodogg88:
hey, thanks for the response. i thought i mentioned trying different video files but might have not. I do know the button you refer to and have used it to change the source and quality (thanks for building in indicators on the file quality - high, low, etc). i typically choose low quality.

i guess the only suggestions i could as for are:

highlight which video source you are currently viewing

add a global search button on the home screen to search all addons

fix the subtitles option (keeps saying no subtitle exist)

if you select a video and it comes back as doesnt exist, close the loading and take you back to the menu

keep up the great work
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Its not about choosing low or high quality its more about the servers that are providing the content, if you are running low quality from a slow service streaming will still be slow, the best option would be to choose another service from the options menu. I already added the selected indicator it will be available for the next update along with m3u playlist support so users can import their channel playlists and the player will support live streams. The live stream addon system is also done but it will not be added in the next update because it needs more testing. A lot of major UI changes and bugs were fixed including the controller bug on main menu, and page transitions were also optimized for better transitions. I will take a look on your suggestion and see if it can be done for the next update or not, the project has become quite big and it has become harder to add new features every day like I used to before but thanks for your suggestions and feedback it really helps !
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Do any of you use m3u playlists ? Or have a subscription with an iptv service ? Are there any specific features you would like to be able to do when importing a playlist or linking an m3u url ? What data is usually available in the #EXTINF of your m3u, group, logo, something else ?

Thankful to anyone who can provide information so I can finalize the channel section
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
If you guys ever wanna check the changelog before updating it is available at http://kokotime.tv/app/changelog.txt , I will add it in the apps settings in the next update so you can check the changes.
[Android Apps and Games] MeExilex3:
Not sure if it'll be helpful or not but I found this IPTV chan site you can try it has 6 different playlist you can use for free. I've been using it with a different IPTV app and I haven't had any problems with it yet so maybe you can try some of the playlist yourself and see what you like, what works, and what features you feel would benefit the app. ;)

Site: https://fluxustv.blogspot.com/p/m3u-list.html?m=1

Hope it helps! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there, the m3u playlist function was added and if you are running the latest version you can play your m3u playlists in 3 different ways :

- Directly from the browser, by clicking an m3u url Kokotime can read the file and let you browse and play the content of the playlist without saving it

- By downloading the m3u file and importing it in app (this will not update the playlist automatically from the url but ot will update inside the app if you manually update the file)

- By adding the m3u url inside the app, this will save the playlist in the apps "My channels" section and it will automatically update the content of the playlist each time it is updated on the url.

Also when you load a playlist with Kokotime you can easily navigate through the channels by double tapping right or left on the video player to zap channels, or by opening the bottom drawer to choose another channel from the list without having to close the current stream.
[Android Apps and Games] MeExilex3:
Yeah I've switched over to Kokotime to try the IPTV option and so far it's been working great for me. I haven't had any problems or lagging and the double tap left or right has been working perfectly and the side drawer is simple and easy to use. I haven't gotten around to installing it on my Amazon Fire Tv but when I get chance I'll try it on there as well and report back if you'd like. I currently only have a phone (mine), my mother's phone and Fire TV to test it on my self. Both phones a Samsung galaxy S8 & S8+ have been working flawless. So thank you for the amazing app and hard work you've been putting into this app. :good:;)

Also have you tried any of the Fluxus TV playlist? My Internet isn't the greatest and my cell service Metropcs isn't the greatest either but strangely enough I used to have a lot of buffering and every now and then It would kick me from the stream but since I started using the same playlist and channels on Kokotime I haven't had any buffering and it hasn't kicked me from the streams. I've been testing it by watching different 24/7 channels that they have at 30mins at a time and sometimes even for a few hours if I found a show or movie that I like and like I said it's been flawless on Kokotime. Cheers! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] DallasBelt:
It's working good on my phone. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello again, thanks for getting back to me with the feedback and very happy to know everything is working well and that you are enjoying the app. I tried to upload the app to the amazon store but amazon refused it for the same reason they refused Kodi. So I guess you will have to manually side load it there but it would be nice to know if everything is working fine.

About the live streaming on the video player I specifically built a system for streaming on low speed connections so users wouldn't get kicked of their streams if their connection is too slow so glad to know that is working well, I haven't tried fluxus TV though but I tried slow streams to make sure everything is working fine on slow connections thank for your support. :highfive: back haha
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
I am creating a github repo with a wiki at https://github.com/scrdev/kokotimeApp/wiki I will add Kokotime's string files so users can translate them to their language and I can add them on each update to support multiple languages. I will add each new feature to the github wiki so users know how to get the most out of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] MeExilex3:
I'm happy that's its been working great for you it's hard to find a good free IPTV service for obvious reasons but when you do its nice to share it with others which is what I'm doing. Cheers! :good::laugh:

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

Hello Hello, Hope you had a great day today and hopefully you'll have a great night as well. :)

Yeah I'm honestly not surprised about Amazon I had to download an app from the Play Store awhile back to side load apps mainly Kodi lol to the Fire tv it's called Apps2Fire it's up in the Play Store if anyone needs its.

I side loaded the Kokotime app earlier today and haven't had any problems or issues with the IPTV Streaming no buffering, getting kicked from the stream buttery smooth. I'll keep testing and report back if I notice anything. Also the way you built the system for low speeds was absolutely genius my man Mad Props. :svetius::cool:

I'm more surprised other IPTV apps haven't done the same and if they have it isn't nearly as polished as yours since like I've said I have pretty Sh*t Internet and cell service and while other apps I've tried I'm constantly getting kicked or dealing with buffering issues I have yet to experience it with your app. No Man thank you seriously its awesome when you find a Dev that's open to feedback, suggestions, and gives great support. I and I'm sure everyone here greatly appreciate everything you've been doing and I can't wait to see how far this app will go and wish you all the luck, good vibes, and continued success in the world you deserve that and so much more.. Ive also been telling friends and family about your wonderful app so hopefully you'll get more support and coin as well. Cheers! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Thank you so much for your feedback I really appreciate the support and help and will try and make the app better in future updates, let me know if you find any bugs or issues.
