How do I install developer apps to a Now TV box

How do I install developer apps to a Now TV box, including standard apps that aren't normally available?

Solution

  • Using your NowTV remote enter the following combination:

    Home, Home, Home, Up, Up, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right

    If you did correctly, you will be presented with developer mode.

    1. Make a note of the IP address and username.
    2. Accept the Terms and conditions.
    3. Set your password.

    This allows you to login to your NowTV box using the IP and username displayed on the developer presentation screen.

    This also allows you to install a media streamer software such as the popular Plex-based, "RARflix" app - https://github.com/ljunkie/rarflix/raw/master/RARflix.zip.

    Important note: Only one developer app is allowed to be installed at once.
