I've heard a few people talking about the moviebox and showbox apps lately. Just wondering if they are safe to download on my ipad or iphone and which should I choose.

is an android app. Not sure about moviebox Lenny
Someone much cleverer than me will probably come along and put me right ;D but my understanding would be that they are basically the same thing? Moviebox is on the ios and showbox on the android platform. I have them both installed on different devices and they look the same to me anyways.
Lenny I have moviebox on my iPad with no problems whatsoever. The iPad previously had to be jailbroken to get moviebox but now it can be installed directly with a bit of jiggery pokery... google it, there are plenty of links and simple instructions. If you're not sure drop me a message.
Showbox is lethal.
There's no downside to it that I've come across.
Downloaded Moviebox and it's asking me to use a free Virtual private network service to view some of the content. Do I just go ahead and do what they say?

As well as these- check out Mobdro saved me a few times over the festive period

Reading through the thread this was going to by question. Is it possible to install this on an iPad and then cast it onto the tv via Chromecast as I have no notion of watching movies on a 9" screen.
What is showbox and how do i get it on my tablet? Im taking it that it is an app?

I've never been asked to do this on moviebox. Where have you downloaded it from? Its possibly the site you have downloaded it from trying to get you to download a product of theirs? I'd be wary
I'm getting asked for a password when I go to download moviebox?
Have ye a safe URL for downloading moviebox for ios?
Password is mb31
First: Go to Settings >> General >> Date & Time. Deselect Automatic and change the date to August 1st
Second: Open Safari and visit this page http://www.pgyer.com/mb31
Third: Tap the green button to install Movie Box
Fourth: Open MovieBox after it has installed and tap Trust on the developer notice
Fifth: Return to Settings >> General >> Date & Time and switch back to Automatic

Google "showbox apk" and download from first search result. Make sure to turn off trusted sources in security settings.
Class. Thanks a million :)
once I try and open a film on it, it says "video not available" And when I click the "Why
" button it says this.
QuoteSome internet service providers block our video content. We can offer you a solution to this problem.
The solution is to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to alternative connect to Movie box.
For example you can use free VPN service www.justfreevpn.com.
First of all go to this web sitehttp://www.justfreevpn.com you're going to need to make a note of a few details from the homepage. Just free VPN provide 3 servers in the USA, the UK and Canada make a note of the following details:
- server
- PPTP username
- PPTP password
Make a note of the details for the server which is closest to your Country and grab your device.
If you're on an IPad:
- Go to the 'Settings >> General >> Network >> VPN'.
- Click 'Add VPN Configuration';
- Select the 'PPTP' tab, adding fields as:
- Description: xx.juskreevpn.com (Or type anything you want here)
- Server: xx.juskreevpn.com (You made a note of this from the website earlier)
- Account: enter VPN username (You made a note of this from the website earlier)
- RSA SecurID: OFF
- Password: enter VPN password (You made a note of this from the website earlier)
- Encryption level: Auto Send All traffic: ON Click 'save'
If you're an iPhone or iPod touch:
- Go to the Settings Application.
- Go to General > Network > VPN > Settings.
- Select PPTP, in the Server field type "xx.juskreevpn.com" as the name of VPN Server.
- Enter VPN account name and password (You made a note of these from the website earlier), encryption level let it "Auto" and select "Send All Traffic", Press Save.
For setting it up that's pretty much all there is to it really.
Remember to click 'save' to store the VPN on your device. By doing this you can imply toggle the VPN on and off in future without having to re input all the details.
Now, make sure you have properly closed down Movie Box from backgrounder by deleting it from the App switcher.
Go back to Settings on your device and you should now have a VPN toggle underneath your WIFI settings.
Use the toggle to turn the VPN on and after a few seconds while your traffic is routed over the VPN.
Now open Movie Box again and as you can see the VPN has worked as the 'Download' and 'Watch now' buttons are now available :)
Do I just go ahead and do everything it asks?
A quick scan on Google suggests it's ok.. Probably a pain in the arse as if I understood it right you will have to change the password on it everyday or ungrade to a paid vpn :-).
Who is your ISP by the way?
It's on my iPhone so I just went in through safari. (Would now be a good time to mention I'm pretty crap with IT!! :-[ )
Another Showbox fan here - has anyone else's app have very few updates to movies? There has only been one new movie on the updates section since 27 December.
Are there any new movies on it or is it just like netflix with older stuff?
I'm running a Raspberry Pi with XBMC. I've seen preloaded android boxes out there that come with XBMC, Moviebox and Showbox and other popular apps.
I have used Moviebox, Showbox and XBMC and although I prefer Showbox on a tablet I really love XBMC and the Pi for it's versatility.

Very few movies released is all in good quality. It's a free service, full of what should be premium content. I wouldn't complain too much.

Far superior to Netflix. Anything available to download on say Kickass or piratebay etc will be available. Some movies that are still in the pictures will be there.
Link for movie box for iOS devices - http://ipa.othman.tv/ipa/mbox.php (http://ipa.othman.tv/ipa/mbox.php)
No need to change date and time or passwords.
Also if saying not available, download Hola from App Store, install the VPN profiles and use one of them to watch the content.
Only downside is that there is currently no option to send to chromecast through Moviebox like there is on Showbox for Android.

Downloaded onto the wife's Samsung Galaxy s4 and the movies play on the phone but when I press the Chromecast icon it tries to search for my Chromecast it just returns My Device (the phone!). The Chromecast app is on the phone and it picks it up.

Any decent shows on showbox then ?
Installed now its some job onto second broadchurch hooked already
Worth pointing out for anyone who doesn't realise it that extensive use of Showbox or similar will blow through your broadband allowance (if you have one), just like any other streaming service, in no time.

Showbox is based on the android platform not windows so you need to run an android emulator on your windows machine for it to work. Just google "install showbox on windows". I got it running on a windows7 laptop for a friend of mine using an emulator called Bluestack.
A word of warning though Bluestack annoyingly keeps asking for credit card details which it says it only needs to verify your location. I didn't take the chance... There are numerous other emulators though.
There may be a Windows download for Moviebox kicking around though similar to the iOS ones that are currently around?? Someone on here will know..
I just typed movie box into the wife's iPhone and it was a fecking porn site...wtf. Of course I got accused of watching porn on her phone...lol
I don't have a phone what would up to the job for these apps. Would they run of a laptop?

Just a wee word on emulators. I looked into them a wee while back. Bluestacks was the best I tried. The other 2 were far too processor hungry. In saying that bluestacks ended up bringing my ultrabook to a near enough standstill. It also only allows movies to play on their lowest definition and forces you to add a couple of dung apps pretty frequently or pay them some cash. Laptop also started blue screening!!! All in all i wouldn't have an emulator near my machine
My Windows Surface tablet wouldn't allow me download Bluestacks - maybe for the better after reading above post.
Herself got Free Instant Movies downloaded and worked out grand.

I can't get moviebox to install on my iPhone 6. It installed not a bother on a iPad 3 I have.
The iPad is still ios7 while the iPhone is obviously the newest iOS, could this be the problem?

Anyone know why I can't get any season 1 broadchurch on showbox at the minute?
I watched first 5 episodes and one of them being earlier today. Now when I go in to it it just says season 1 but won't show any episodes. Season 2 is showing its episode. Can someone check theirs for me if you wouldn't mind in case it's an issue with my system.

Because it's a free resource of dubious legality that is reliant on linking to content hosted elsewhere. Sometimes you just won't be able to get what you want with it.
Didn't think it would all disappear though after it was there this afternoon. :-\ :-\

I can see them ok. You could go into 'application manager' on your phone, into Showbox and chose 'clear data' (will clear any saved data like the contents of your library), but it seems to solve any problems
You are a legend! Just done that on my tablet and it's worked.
Thanks again :)
Sorry if someone already asked.
I have moviebox on my iphone and I have chromecast. Do I need another app to cast from my phone to TV it doesn't appear to give me an option like it does say for youtube.
I use 'all cast' to get from showbox to the tv. I think there are others but that's the one I used. Think I had to pay a pound or 2 for the version I have.

Anyone ever buy one of those cheap mini projectors? Was thinking it be cool for playing showbox or movie box on.
I know the picture quality wouldn't be fantastic but it be nice for the kids to have a 'movie' night with a large picture projected onto the wall or whatever.
They are cheap enough to buy like 60 quid for one. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/LED-Mini-Digital-Projector-UC30-Home-Theater-Multimedia-1080P-AV-VGA-USB-HDMI-/191447941099?pt=UK_Computing_Sound_Vision_Projectors&hash=item2c932fbfeb

Not sure if you know but make sure that when you select a movie or tv episode untick use internal player so you have the option to use all cast.

Maybe its related to above but doe this mean then that I have to download anything I want to cast to tv? If there was a way to use the watch now function through the cast it would be ideal!

I use 'all cast' to get from showbox to the tv. I think there are others but that's the one I used. Think I had to pay a pound or 2 for the version I have.
Thanks a mill - Got it for free there - I'll check it works this evening! ;D
Not sure if you know but make sure that when you select a movie or tv episode untick use internal player so you have the option to use all cast.
Sorry not following you. Whats that?
Maybe its related to above but doe this mean then that I have to download anything I want to cast to tv? If there was a way to use the watch now function through the cast it would be ideal!
Yeah sorry it is for when you want to cast straight to the tv - below download and watch now you will see use internal player. If you untick this then it will give you the option to cast through allcast.
This is not going well for me! :(
I don't have the cast straight the internal player option. Possibly I don't have the correct apps downloaded.

Are you using Moviebox or Showbox? If Showbox, when you go to into whatever you want to watch, you'll see the quality options. Depending on what's available, these can be any combination of low, medium and high. Below these are two links - download and watch now. Below this there is a check box with "use internal player", that is checked by default. Uncheck the box and click watch now. Android will bring up the various options, which will include any casting apps you have installed - I use Localcast.

i downloaded 'the interview' from showbox and the audio was badly out of sync. anybody else experience this?

No, while Chromecast works with smart tv's, it effectively turns a normal tv (as long as you have a HDMI port) into a smart TV. Most Smart TVs will have a DLNA renderer built in so you should be able to cast to it directly from whatever casting app you use (it generally shows up as TV-Make-ModelName or something similar when you press the cast button) but I find this connection unreliable so use Chromecast anyway.

Well that explains why none of the above makes sense. No idea how to go about casting from moviebox, or indeed if it's possible.

Link for movie box for iOS devices - http://ipa.othman.tv/ipa/mbox.php (http://ipa.othman.tv/ipa/mbox.php)
No need to change date and time or passwords.
Also if saying not available, download Hola from App Store, install the VPN profiles and use one of them to watch the content.
Only downside is that there is currently no option to send to chromecast through Moviebox like there is on Showbox for Android.

Mobdro.com - great app
Need to turn off the "unknown sources" setting on your phone
There's a tonne of new movies in the 'updates' section within Showbox
Here's another option for yis lads:
m.movietube.co
All the latest films on there including stuff that's still in the cinema.
And if you download Video Webcaster on the Playstore you can fire it to your Chromecast.

Long answer yes but you would have to jump through that many hoops to do it its not worth the effort.

Mobdro streams are generally poor resolution. Blowing that up to a big telly isn't going to do it any favours.
Ive cast some of the Showbox movies which have been really good actually, but then I would with to the Higher definition versions are available before I would watch them anyway, find the others can be hit and miss on quality.

Showbox is different - you're casting a file on the cloud somewhere that is generally 720 or 1080p. With Mobdro, you're casting a live stream that is generally of poor resolution to begin with.

No it wasn't the quality. It hung on a few channels and then when I went back to playing on the smartphone it played ok.
Neither Moviebox nor HD Cinema working for the iPad now! :(
Has anyone tried Phim Box? It has a lot of Asian films as well as new releases such as American Sniper.
Are there any HD shows on showbox or are they all being pushed out at 720?

Worth pointing out for anyone who doesn't realise it that extensive use of Showbox or similar will blow through your broadband allowance (if you have one), just like any other streaming service, in no time.
If your only streaming over wifi and not downloading will you be ok?

package is unlimited so should be ok!
Also local cast worked but all cast didn't. ....
Tried it. Going back to downloading movies wholesale using bitlord. The sound and picture quality from all the streaming sites I have tried makes watching movies a pain!
Apple App Store has a free App called Cloud Movies
Lots of movies and TV series on it for free. Seems to be decent quality.
I don't know enough about movies to know if it is up to date or not.

Just use AllCast. Choose video in Show Box, untick option to use internal player, select AllCast and tick option to set to default and it will automatically open up AllCast to choose your Chromecast to cast to.

It does the same on Localcast too surely. I think his issue is internal player is ticked.
Internal player was unticked, always has been. But couldn't get a prompt like I was previously when I selected 'Watch Now'. The show played away on the phone but no option to get it on TV. Downloaded Allcast instead and it worked no bother.

Not if you've set up the Chromecast. Chromecast app is only for configuring the dongle, not casting to it.
Thanks Gallsman, I have set up the chrome cast from chromecast app on my iPhone and can watch you tube on TVs from it. For some reason when I try to cast from Showbox on my kindle HDX via Avia the cast icon does not appear or from Allcast I just get message " Searching for players...

Try localcast.
Showbox and chromecasting is becoming a bit of a pain. I'd advise no one to update showbox as it ties you in with MX player with the latest update preventing you using localcast allcast and the likes. If you've a previous showbox apk in your phone's download folder, uninstall showbox and reinstall the earlier download and choose to update 'later'. Chromecast will work then
HD Cinema app seems to be the way to go (haven't tried it myself)
found this myself after updating on Friday, does anyone have an older version of the .apk that they could either send on or put up in the cloud (Dropbox or somewhere)?
There is a workaround. When Showbox opens it in MX player, hit the 3 dot menu button, tools, share, and you'll be able to select options to cast from there
Or download older version here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B04WhaWBUDLIZXlOUUlVWHZHdkU/edit?usp=docslist_api (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B04WhaWBUDLIZXlOUUlVWHZHdkU/edit?usp=docslist_api)
Had the same problem, was using Allcast but the past few days I am no longer getting a prompt even when I select 'Watch Now' for a film.
I've done all of the above but casted movies are very stop-start. Anyone else getting this problem?
I have down the same and it worked fine for everything bar one film for me which kept pausing.
Anyone got a link to a site for movies for Apple devices?
The Moviebox link is on this thread but if you're running iOS 8 it prob won't work. Dk if there are any others.
HD Cinema App is a good alternative to Showbox. Unlike Showbox, as it currently stands, it doesn't tie you down to
any specific player so you can cast to your TV.

Agree although not as many movies or new releases as showbox

No but at least the content it does have can be cast to TV. Showbox while tied to the MX player is quite useless.

Buy an Android Tv box off eBay for about €40 and have showbox directly on the TV without any need for casting from phone.
That's what I do and it works great.

Just one I bought on eBay a few years back. It's pretty bog standard but does the job.
You can get quad core ones now and most come fully installed with xbmc and all that.
I see showbox has the first 4 episodes of Game of Thrones on their. Noticed last night on the off chance - Unbelievable app! 8) ;D

They were leaked worldwide yesterday. Poor quality though, only 480p.
Having to use MX player is back annoying me after I'd got rid of it for a time >:(
HD cinema app has Game of Thrones S5 at 720. Just watched the first 2 and the quality is very good. When HBO track down whoever the leak is he'll probably suffer the same fate as Mannis!! 🔥
I watched GOT on HDCinema last night, have found this app to be more reliable than Showbox. Does anybody know of the best link to get xbmc for Android?
Have found a way round MX Player. Install an app called Growbox (you can't have MX installed). This tricks Showbox into thinking it's MX player and allows you to cast.
HD Cinema is no more. .... is Showbox on borrowed time? ?
Is HD cinema away for good?
Showbox is still running though it can lag a bit. HD Cinema will be back in a month apparently under a new name.
Kodi with the Ice Films add on is a decent job, though I've only watched content on the phone, not sure if you can cast or not

That's always going to be a risk with apps like this. Use the download functionality in it and then watch/cast. No lag.
Anyone else having issues with Show box?
Doesn't seem to be working.
Any alternatives?

Good man.
I started with Showbox but it wasn't near as good as HD Cinema. Kodi is what I have been using since HD Cinema went down and it is great.
Sky HD doesn't seem to have as many TV series as Showbox.
Can't find Falling Skies on it for example.
Showbox always works well for me anyways.
Have been using showbox on the laptop (via bluestacks), but all the movies and series seem to be down. anyone having similar issues?
I have Sky HD and Showbox but the most reliable one is KODI.

No panic Im sure it will be back.

Dowdload Movie HD apk it does the same job more or less.
Sky HD is no more. It has been rebranded again as Movie HD.
Pros and Cons for the 3 I use (may help a few)
Movie HD
Pros - fast / no buffering. Great selection which increases daily as older shows get added
- casting to TV
Cons - always on the run / rebranding itself which means a new download (not that often in fairness)
Showbox
Pros - great selection
Cons - buffers like a fothermucker at the beginning
- cannot cast
- currently banjaxed
Kodi (i use TVMC which comes bundled with various movie, TV and sport addons)
Pros - great selection and back up addons if one doesn't work
- casts to TV (once you've downloaded and pasted a necessary xml addon)
Cons - buffers a good bit
- with many links, the movie / show stutters (doesn't play smoothly if that makes sense)
- broken links esp with sports channels

I found a way of casting. Download MX Player and LocalCast. When using Showbox, use External Player (ie MX Player). In MX Player, select Tools from the menu, then Share, then LocalCast. Select your Chromecast from the list. You'll get a message saying it is not a video file, but select Cast Anyway and away it goes. It can be a little flaky, sometimes LocalCast doesn't pick up your Chromecast. But just try it again and it works first time most of the time anyway.
Now all I need is Showbox to be not banjaxed. I need my fix of Person of Interest!

I was a whisker away from going down that road recently, but my wife got cold feet, especially when Sky threw all manner of incentives at us. Next time . . .

I'd rattle away with Genesis myself nrico (it comes bundled with TVMC) but i find some of the newer movies to stutter as they play. Must no grumble as they are all excellent vfm ;-)
There's an easier way to cast from Showbox deiseach. Download an app baked grow box. Tricks Showbox into thinking it's MX Player and then can cast directly using All/Localcast.

The only reason I left Showbox for KODI a month ago was because I was going through seasons 3 and 4 and when I got to the 4th or fifth on season 4, it was missing as was a few others after it.

I had a run on the growbox (the big marajuna leaf icon is cool though ) 'til I nearly pulled my hair out. Movie HD is the much less stressful option if you're looking to cast

You could go into the settings of Showbox and clear the cache. I wouldn't reinstall at this stage. This happened the odd time, same with Movie HD(No streams right now) though does appear to happen more often in fairness. There hasn't been an update for either Showbox or Movie HD in a good wee while.
I tend to use Movie HD more often as it is much quicker at playing, but Showbox tends to have more content. Both are great. Neither have Making a Murderer which is surprising, though I could not find it on Genesis either within Kodi
Im wondering now if should change. Im completely useless at this stuff though. I am dying to watching Making a Murderer but have no smart tv and wanna try and stream from my samsung tablet. Not sure how successful that will be. I see leads on amazon but again no idea what im at!!
Am i able to get movie hd or cinema hd on my tablet? Is it hard to get on or same type of thing as showbox?
Movie HD is handy to install and use, same kind of job as showbox where you can use it locally on your device or use it with allcast to stream to your tv.

Guys i know this isnt the right place but to save me starting another thread i want to stream netflix onto tv.
Its one of the older flatscreens and only has one hdmi port. I have ordered a hdmi switcher so can put in a few hdmi ports now.
I was gonna order leads that would connect samsung tablet to the tv but now people are telling me buy a google chromecast and use that. I honestly have no clue about this stuff can someone advise me in simplest terms possible if you dont mind?
Making a murderer is on Genesis, I just searched it

I thought Terrarium was going to leave up what they had but not add anything new, so over time the links would all die away.
I've always used Showbox so I'll be gutted if it's gone, but Tea Tv seemed pretty decent for a Terrarium replacement.
Showbox seems to be rising again by the looks of it!
Movie HD has been working fine for a long time.
