Is there a reason to use any other browser?

Absolutley love Kylo TV! If you really take the time to configure it properly, to your liking, you can have an awesome 10’ foot away experience. The Integration into Media Center was just fabulous! Thanks to the folks at Kylo. Keep up the great work.

[GUIDE] How to install adblock plus

2012-09-04T12:47:48-05:00

I downloaded Kylo this afternoon and loved it, but like most people I instantly missed adblock, so after a little fiddling I have finally managed to get it working correctly

First you need to launch Kylo and got to

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/1865/addon-1865-latest.xpi?src=ss

this will bring up the software installation manager and you can install it just like you would with firefox.
However, it will not populate the filters list automatically so we need to close down Kylo and manually paste in the filters ourselves. These are located in win7 at

C:UsersYOURNAMEAppDataRoamingHillcrest LabsKyloProfilesSOMETHINGRANDOM.defaultadblockplus

I have uploaded the default list to my dropbox here

Just extract to the adblockplus folder and replace the existing files

relaunch kylo to enjoy adfree browsing

If you come across any ads on a page that the filters miss then you can just hover over it to see the standard block tab appear to ad it to the filter list

modify headers

2013-04-29T06:18:27-05:00

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/modify-headers

can this work in kylo??

or include from source

https://github.com/garethhunt/modifyheaders

because

While we realize this may be only for the more advanced users, we still decided to share it with you. As you may know, xxx doesn’t offer access to BBC’s live stream channels (i.e. BBC One) because the way BBC choose to geo fence the live streams would consume too much bandwidth on our proxy server. Commercial unblocking services just proxy the entire content streams as well since they have enough bandwidth to do that. The downside to proxying the content stream is that this acts just like a VPN service – you most likely won’t end up getting the best route to the actual content servers. You also share the unblocking proxy server with a number of other users which may result in degraded video quality, particularly when dealing with HD streams.

Here’s a combination of xxxx DNS and a Firefox extension to do some trickery. We’re assuming Firefox has already been installed.

Install the “Modify Headers” extension available from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/modify-headers
Open the extension setup dialog
Add a new header:

Action: Modify

Header name: X-Forwarded-For

Header value: 212.58.241.131
Make sure there’s a green dot to the right and start the extension (smiley-button turns red).

Go to the BBC website and try one of their live streams:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv/bbc_one_london/watchlive

You still need xxxxx DNS to get access to the main web site but the content stream itself will not be proxied through our servers. Make sure to switch off the extension once you’re done watching the stream. It’s probably a good idea to put the extension button on the toolbar so it can be switched on and off more easily.

ill send you XXXX as a private msg if you need it ....

RESTART BUTTON

2013-05-12T05:04:47-05:00

due to changing DNS ,then KYLO needs to be closed.it would be a lot easier for a RESTART BUTTON as one press to flush out system and restart

ALSO can we in privacy has a CLEAR DATA ON START button so when KYLO starts those that are TICKED are cleared down automatically

What addons would you like to see working???

2012-09-10T12:40:19-05:00

Having recently found that adblock plus works with Kylo I am going to be spending some time seeing if any others can also be made to work, and in that line I am interested in seeing what specifically people would like.

So, if there are any specific addons you would like then please feel to leave a list in this post and I will have a look to see if there is a way to get them working. However I cannot promise that any requested addon will ever be made to work but I will what ever I can.

Contacted Hulu About Blocking Kylo

2013-05-01T18:27:59-05:00

I decide to make a new thread on this since the others were old. I emailed Hulu asking why they blocked Kylo and not other browsers. Their response was rude and I believe inaccurate.

Hulu Representative: “I know it’s frustrating to have to pay for services you believe should be free.”

Excuse me? I was under the impression that it was free since I can view the service without an account from any computer using Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or other browsers. They go on to say that the reason Kylo is blocked is because it is an application that goes directly on a TV rather than using a PC. How is this possible? I thought a computer was needed to run Kylo.

VEVO issue (Adobe flash)

2013-03-26T00:26:29-05:00

When watching a video in full screen, it exits (full screen) when the next video plays. Also, clicking another video in the timeline does not play the selected video; sometimes it replays the current, other times nothing. As in my other post, you also, cannot type in the video search box without it jumping out prematurely. All features seem to work fine in IE (v10). Is this an issue with your Flash addon? Anything that can be done to make it work properly (I’m sure its not isolated to VEVO)?

pop up blocker

2012-09-05T18:49:05-05:00

can we have a POP UP BLOCKER
you could have it turn on and off in the advanced option

OTHERWISE

can you move the box line ´´ close popup ´´ yes or no

to THE BOTTOM not the TOP
as all the other controls are down the bottom and normally so is the cursor ,
so its a pain to keep moving it up to top
