I'm hearing reports of other people's Movie Box and Provenance installations no longer working. They're not working for me either. How about the rest of you?

I have movie box installed via repo on my iPad and via a Chinese website without jailbreak on my iPhone and they both work

Thanks MassMacMan. I just checked on a 5 with 8.1 today in addition to my 6 Plus with 8.1, and neither one were working any longer.

Movie Box works on my 6+, but there is an annoying issue where the playback window will constantly pop up the playback/volume controls around the movie itself without any input from me.

I would gladly trade a non-functioning Movie Box for those problems.

Didnt Apple fix something in 8.1 so movie box and emulators cant be downloaded anymore?

Im on a jailbroken 5 with 8.1 movie box version 3.1 and it works fine!

I was already on 8.1 and had it working with no jailbreak or date trick required. It stopped working for me and apparently many other people today. I have a feeling it'll happen to almost everyone else as well in the next few days.

Mine works for the most part. Can't get any flex patches to work for it and having an issue that sometimes the ads automatically take me away from the app. Gets really annoying

Going to the pgyer site was enough before. But it isn't working anymore. You can find the old instructions on lots of sites though.

Mine doesn't work but it's not because of any of the issues mentioned.

Whenever an app store advertisement pops up, the app will auto re-direct me to the app store. It happens every 1 - 2 minutes and it makes it completely unusable.

When people on jailbroken 8.1 say 'it works', how many have SUCCESSFULLY downloaded a full movie? Mine 'works' but it's slow. Downloads start, and they never seem to finish. I've tried about 3-4 movies so far.. and eventually, they error out.

Thanks for this. But I'm not jailbroken and I'm not interested in jailbreaking at this time.

Sorry then, I assumed you could only get this with a jailbreak. Didn't they stop third-party app date/time trick installations e.g. Movie Box / Emulators on 8.1?

Mine does this too. Trying to disable ads but flex isn't working right now for whatever reason.
