So, what are you waiting for? Head over xbmchub.info and grab the repo from the 1channel.ch thread. Once you have downloaded you can install the usual way. It would be great if the hub.

You can read our review of this excellent addon here.

“I have created a proof-of-concept add-on which shows some potential of Furk.net. It contains a lot of code which isn’t in use right now but I wanted to get something out. Remember that this was tested for about 15 minutes and does not contain every feature I would like it to contain.I do however seriously doubt you will get disappointed…”

And of course here’s a quick video demo of the add-on in action

So as batch mentioned this is a dev build to show off some of the features he’s brining to this once washed up add-on.I have a tiny inkling that Batch might be working on a complimenting Flurk library add-on which would allow users to add movies/tv to their XBMC library. So as usual stay tuned and we’ll keep you all up to date with the progress of this Stella add-on

All you need is a free account from from flurk.net to get started. We covered flurk several months ago check out our original post here.

You can grab the add-on from here and follow the add-ons install guide here

The guys over at XBMCHub are on fire ATM so get over there and register and show some support

Update  01/02/2012
Here’s some news regarding this add-on from the developer Batch

What the Furk” is the new addon I’m currently working on. Furk.net is a filelocker and torrent-proxy with a huge library of cached torrented-files. This addon uses neither the filelocker nor torrent-proxy functionality, it uses the library of cached files. The idea of “What the Furk” is to grab movie and TV show data from IMDB and create search queries which searches the cache at Furk.net and returns a list of streamable files.

Is this legal?
It’s as legal as streaming movies and TV shows from any other streaming site.

Is streaming movies and TV shows legal in my country?
It depends on a lot of things. In some countries it’s legal to download/stream copyright protected material but not to upload or spread, in other countries it works differently. Movies which are intended to be spread by the copyright owners are of course legal to stream.

Do they track my downloads?
Furk track the amount of downloaded bytes and connects this to your account and IP-address. No histories of the specific downloads are being kept at Furk.net.

Where are the servers located?
In Ukraine and in the Netherlands.

Are there any free Furk accounts?
Yes, but these are limited to download 500MB/day. If you start streaming a bigger file then it won’t cut it after that limit is reached but you won’t be able to watch any more after the limit is reached. This means you can watch up to one movie/day with a free account.

What do I get with a premium account?
300GB downloads per month. 10GB/day should be enough for most of us.

What download speeds will I get?
Most likely good enough to stream 1080p, if your bandwidth allows it.

This is an addon under construction. I will probably release the first version within a week. Until then you can always try the proof-of-concept addon I threw together:

So did you all think the Icefilms XBMC add-on was out for the count after the recent FBI worldwide crackdown on privacy?  Yes I said privacy not piracy. Well the devs over at XBMCHub haven’t given up and neither has icefilms.info which is currently dusting off the events of the last couple of weeks and getting down to business as usual. So we are left again asking what does the future indeed hold for the XBMC icefilms add-on? Well developers aren’t giving up on this project yet! So stick with us here at HD420P and well gently nurture you through these SOPA infected times.

The answer is a new beta supporting rapidshare and 2shared links (oh I hope rapidshare is better/faster than I remember it being) Never the less the new beta has been pushed the the Icefilms development repo so you can try it out yourselves. Past additions remain such as download and play adding a buffering interlude before the media starts.

As usual here’s a quick video of the add-on in action.

As you can see the add-on isn’t perfect but its a development build and updates will be pushed through quickly, so keep you eye out for updates or just set XBMC to update add-ons automaticly. There seems to be a bug with the tvshownextaired script but no doubt this well be fixed in a later build. Let us know what you think of this new twist in the icefilms saga in the comments below.

Here’s a quote from the Developer Bstrdsmkr.

“What is this plugin?
This plugin brings the content of the site http://www.1channel.ch to XBMC. Currently it’s just an update of t0mm0′s work to be compatible with some other addons and libraries available for XBMC. I plan to make this a fully featured plugin with several features that I hope with bring it up to the high standards of the other streaming addons represented here”

So with no repo there are a few versions knocking about. The one that is working for us is Fastpasstv T3 v.1.6.1 and you can grab it here. It’s just the backed up folder from our addons folder so you’ll have to unrar it and install via ftp. Theres also a v.3.1.1 which we’ve not tested and you can find that on the thread on the hub and I’m still not sure if that is the old version from nixa’s repo. If anyone actually knows what’s going on with these numbers then don’t hesitate to leave a comment.

Theres quite a lot of stuff missing. The megaupload links are still being scraped and as usual some of the sources leave more than a little to be desired. But Hey, if you can sit through a CAM on a 1080p panel plugged into a proper sound system then this ones for you! Personally I’d rather not.

Tested on win 7 eden betal 1 and openelec eden beta 1 nightly 20/01/12

Now everyone with a hooky copy of Photoshop or Lightroom is a semi pro.

XBMC’s Flickr addon is a little hidden gem. Also with it’s home in the official repo you can be pretty sure it’s gonna be stable. At the time of writing the Flickr addon hasn’t made the jump to eden. You’ll have to download manually for now. Good news is, it works just fine on Eden. So, install in the usual way.

Before running FlickrXBMC you’ll need to quickly configure your Flickr username and then authorize the app. So enter your details, select ok, then launch the addon

on the first launch you’ll be prompted to visit http://xbmc.2ndmind.com/auth to get an authorisation code

I’ve installed this on two machines (win 7 eden beta 1 & openelec eden beta 1 nightly) and both times I needed to refresh the auth code as the first attempt didn’t take. Once it’s in you can restart and start exploring

Within minutes of the DoJ announcing their triumph over the megaupload raid anonops retaliated by launching their LOIC’s/botnet against some of the biggest players in the pro censorship camp

Anonymous launches largest attack ever, crippling government and music industry sites. Hacktivists with the collective Anonymous are waging an attack on the website for the White House after successfully breaking the sites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.

However, this morning it seems that it’s business as usual for “the man” with all the sites I tried being back online. While megaupload is still silent. Shit, even we had some files for this blog hosted there.

It seems to this bystander that the “creative” industries. Hang on, rewind. “Creative” industries? If they are so creative why are they trying to hang on to this business model that died at the end of the nineties? Died I might add due not least to their own lack of understanding of technology. Remember this an industry that has delivered it’s content (film) in the same format (35mm) pretty much since its inception a hundred years ago. Where was I? Oh right. The creative industries seem to be looking at their profits. Deciding how much they would have liked to have made and then blaming the difference on piracy. With little or no effort to look any deeper than the balance sheet they have bribed their way to the very law makers that are supposedly here to protect not only us but our freedom.

The ONLY way to show these greedy cooperate scum what you think of them is with your wallet. Money talks and democracy walks. It’s all about the dollar so don’t give them your’s. Luckily theres a whole generation of kids that have never bought into this sham. Their entertainment is free. Never seen a record shop or rented a DVD. Those habits can be hard to break.

Unless Team America get to them first of course

It might be worth noting that the icefilms addons for xbmc may not be working anytime soon! Which is why you’re here isn’t it?

Demand Five has been created by Nibor and you can join the discussion in the thread here. He’s added it, along with the 4od addon to his own repo which you can get from googlecode. You can also install just the addon manually but of course it won’t get automatically updated. Once downloaded, install in the usual way.

Not much going on in the settings dept. You can select the default behaviour when a stream is selected and there is also an option for download settings including the path to your rtmpdump.exe for the downloads.

It’s good to see that the Demand Five addon is well laid out. With a decent category view and search option. It’s a shame there are no category items which rather limits the initial view to a list. This is fairly standard though.Advancing into the lists of shows allows for the better thumbnail view. Sadly, as with the other UK TV addons the scraped thumbs leave a little to be desired. No fault of the addon devs its just the way it is on the sites that are being scraped. They look fine at 720p though.

Stream wise, well they are ok. No (obvious) HD though which is a shame. Still, all in all Demand Five is a pretty handy little addon. If you live in the UK you really are spoilt for choice using XBMC. With catch up services from all the main players as well as streaming freeview with TVCatchup it’s a great time to invest in a dedicated media centre.

Tested on Win 7 x64 Eden Beta 1 and Openelec Eden Beta 1 Nightly

So what does the future indeed have for the icefilms add-on?  Well developers are already hard at work add-on?

The answer a new beta with some great new features. Some of the amazing great features include stream as you download, the ability to pick what metadata you want to add a feature that allows you to set a buffer period before the video begins, ideal for people on low bandwidth connections or poor networks setups 

Here are some screenshots of the new beta showing some of the new features.
