We have just released a new version of the player which should fix the blackscreen with audio for most of you.

 

The next time you open the app, it will prompt you to install the latest version.

 

Please let us know if you are still experience issues after the update.

Well that's good - it has fixed the screen problem for me, although the frame rate does seem a little choppy.  For some reason I have 'CiscoVideoGuard' at 80% CPU, 3 x Now TV Player Helper at 23% CPU each, and Now TV Player at 10% CPU, so it's a little CPU hungry - but at least it works Smiley Very Happy

If the latest version is the 2.0 (that's what I get when I download the file and then install) it doesn't work.

Just joined the forum - in an attempt to get a picture and sound on my mac - only to find reams of posts on this issue.

 

Is there a solution or should I just ask for a refund of my weekly pass?

Commiserations over here. I gave this a break for a few weeks to give them a chance to sort this out but obviously the same problem persists and you still get charged. I suspect that a refund would be tricky.

Have latest version of NowTV Player installed but still getting the black screen with audio using Safari on Mac Pro OS 10.12.5. Nothing at all with Firefox.

Now TV Team - there are numerous posts on here where several people have the same issue (blank screen but audio is fine). There appears to be no response of any use and several users have asked used the chat function to no avail.

 

When can we expect an update to this? This is utterly unacceptable service.

 

Other subscribers - please reply in here to get an idea as to how many people also have this issue.

 

On a personal note, if this isn't fixed by tomorrow (when GoT airs), i'm cancelling my subscription.
