    Anyone got 4OD working ?

    Just tried to install channel4's 4OD service. No luck.

    It gives me some sort of DRM error whenever I try to download/play anything. I have tried quite a few guides to resetting DRM for WMP11 (XP SP2) with no luck. Tried unintalling and reinstalling the Flash Player, the 4OD application/service and WMP11. Nothing gets it to work.

    So if anyone here has infact got this half-baked piece of crap working, please tell me how. There are one or two programs on there that I would like to watch, but cant get it from anywhere else.

    Worked first time on my Vista box.....and a couple of XP boxes too.
    Is your firewall blocking?

    I think the service you need to allow is kservice?
    Can't remember for sure but kservice is either for 4OD or BBC iplayer.

    Re: Anyone got 4OD working ?

    kservices is BBC iPlayer, it is based on an app known as Kontiki (player/content delivery system - something!).

    Unless 4OD uses the same service, might be based off the same app?

    Those services seem to work fine, no errors about being blocked by firewall, just DRM problems. But will try switching off the windows firewall while I run it.

    No luck. Tried with the firewall off and got exactly the same error.

    I reset the DRM by deleting all contents of all associated DRM folders as instructed to on the MS page that is linked to from the error message on the 4OD site.

    What DRM plugin are you talking about ?

    My current version of WMP11 is the latest and I even tried reinstalling it.

    Thats probably Flash player 9. I have installed that.

    Looks like I am going to have to try something ridiculous like virtualise a Win XP SP2 install on my mac or something. As I would prefer to watch this on the Mac to begin with, it would be better to do the virtualising directly on that rather than my windows laptop.

    Re: Anyone got 4OD working ?

    Yeah I got it working first time I believe. A mate couldn't install it as it wanted IE6 and it thought he had IE5.5. He did have IE6 so he gave up.

    I think there are problems to be had if you try to run the iPlayer client and the 4OD client at the same time.
