Watch TVB Series On PPS Without Playlist / 如何看PPS港台剧场

I was always a fan of the Chinese TV streaming software PPS.tv but not until lately that they started to remove some channel and playlist like the American TV Series (歐美劇場) and now the Hong Kong’s TVB TV Series (港臺劇場). It’s quite sad that I can’t watch most of my favourite show on it.

This is probably because of copyright issue with the software but I don’t really care, I just want to watch TV series because my country, Malaysia is slow.

Lately, I have found a solution to watch TVB series on PPS even the playlist is not showing, thanks to RYANTCWBBY.

Actually RYANTCWBBY is not a plugin or software, it’s a website that provide the secret link to the TVB series playlist in PPS. Basically you don’t really update your playlist but you go to the website to download the link and open on PPS. Here’s the tutorial.

1. Go to RYANTCWBBY website (Scroll down for new link). Then look for the available TV series on the sidebar that look like this.

2. Let’s say I want to watch the new 點解阿SIR係阿SIR, I click on the link picture then I will be brought into the other page. Scroll down and you will see the below screen shot. Select your option, IE-based is for Internet Explorer user and Non-IE for Firefox and other user like me.

3. Then a pop-up will ask you to launch PPS TV software. No need to download anything. That’s all. Simple enough.

4. Finally, start watching your TVB, streaming from PPS server, but without finding it in the playlist.

Enjoy TVB series and thanks to RYANTCWBBY. =)

UPDATE! RYANTCWBBY CHANGED TO PPSX

New update for the site. RYANTCWBBY has change their link to PPSX.co.cc. Be sure to change your bookmark. =)

It’s the same thing and happy watching! =)

1. Go to RYANTCWBBY website. Then look for the available TV series on the sidebar that look like this.

How To: Install Facebook For iPad App
How To: Install Facebook For iPad App – Facebook has released a leaked version of Facebook for iPad app in July. It was blocked by Facebook in less then a day and I couldn’t login to the Facebook for iPad app anymore. However, I have found a solution on how to access it and have been using it for a few days already.

Some have ask me where to download the Facebook For iPad app but then you don’t really need to download it as you already have it if you have the latest version of Facebook for iPhone on your iPad. You just need to do some tweak to change your Facebook to the iPad version.

One thing you must have is a JAILBROKEN iPad. Follow the instruction below to get your Facebook for iPad app. (Thanks to TNW).
1. Check for updates to make sure you have the latest version of Facebook from the App Store. Also, backup your iPad in iTunes.
2. Visit jailbreakme.com from your iPad. Jailbreaking your iPad is legal, but voids your warranty if you bring your iPad into an Apple Store. It’s easy to undo if need be. Just pug your iPad into your computer and restore it from your previous backup. (If you are running iOS 4.3.3, this will NOT work.)
3. Once the jailbreak process is complete, tap on Cydia, that was just installed on your iPad.
4. Tap the Search tab in Cydia and search for iFile. Download it using the button in the upper right hand corner.
5. Once iFile installs, open it up, and navigate to the “var” folder of your iPad. Then go to “mobile,” then “applications,” then “directory.”
6. Click the settings gear icon in the bottom navigation bar and turn “Application Names” to “On.”
7. Open the Facebook folder within the “directory” folder you’re inside of. Once you’re inside the Facebook folder, open Facebook.app.
8. Look for the info.plist file, then open it. Pick “Property List Viewver” to view the hexadecimal settings for the Facebook app.
9. Look for the UIDeviceFamily field and select it.
10. Delete the 1 you see, and put a 2 in instead. Tap “Done” to complete the process.
11. Hold down your power button to reboot your iPad.
12. Then go to Cydia again and seach for Faceforward.
13. Download and install it.
14. Launch your new Facebook app and you are now in.
Cydia hack to allow you to login to Facebook.

It’s a little bit buggy, Page is not working as it crashes but overall it looks good. But if were to compare to MyPad, MyPad seems better than this. Tell me what do you think after trying it.

Free iSMS, threaded text message on Nokia S60

Free iSMS, threaded text message on Nokia S60 – I just installed a new software into my N95 8GB S60 platform, it’s the Free iSMS. This makes text messaging funner and more addictive than ever with the threaded text message that looks like on the iPhone SMS system.

I have been looking for such thing for some times and finally I have found it and it does really exist by the way. It threads messages of the same sender into speech bubble so it looks like we are instant messaging to each other.

You still can access your phone inbox, but I tend to stick with this most of the time. I even put a shorcut on my standby screen for Free iSMS.

Warning: Addicted to text messages will boom your phone bill. Be sure to check out for unlimited text messages plan like Digi Prepaid Super SMS. =) (free promotion for Digi because they are doing a good job on this.)

Download here. [For Symbian S60 v3 and v5]

How To Show American TV Series Playlist On PPS / 如何看PPS欧美剧场

How To Show American TV Series Playlist On PPS / 如何看PPS欧美剧场 – Due to some copyright infringement, the Chinese top video-on-demand streaming software, PPS.tv removed the playlist of American TV Series (欧美剧场). After some workaround and searching on the Internet, there’s actually a way to go around it and re-show the playlist.

Just download the patch here. Extract or unzip it, then just run the patch.

Press on the first option which means confirm, then the playlist will be back into your PPS.tv again.

Simple as that and they are back. =) Good luck, I don’t know whether PPS.tv will fully removed that or not, so for the mean time, let’s use the patch first.
