Kopite Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This is doing my head in now! On the PS3, I don't have a Lovefilm app on the XMB, under video or TV services. My upstairs PS3 does and has Netflix also. I've googled and tried the "new user" fix and also the Vidzone "fix" but to no avail! Others on google said you could download the Lovefilm app from the PlayStation store but I can't see it in there either. Can anyone help?

Scott Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 You need to login to playstation home. When you do that it will download an update which will include regional software. BBC iPlayer etc will be in the same pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I had this with my new PS3, I think the fix was something really odd like download/ sign in to Playstation Home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Tried that one already dude, I have Iplayer, 4OD and ITV player etc. Just not Lovefilm or Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you definitely logged into home properly and checked for updates? That's how I fixed it with my Dads. Also, be sure to shut it down and start it back up, as more stuff seemed to pop up with every reboot lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing in to ITV player, 4OD etc too as I never use them but I'll try anything now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky_waR Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Try this bud.. Users who experience failure to load the application (only see a loading page which does not disappear), need to: 1) Go to the Network option on the main XMB and select 'Internet Browser' 2) After the browser window has loaded, click the triangle button on your controller to bring up options menu 3) Select the 'tools' option 4) Select 'javascript' and turn it to 'on' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky_waR Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 And then.. Do I need to install the LOVEFiLM App on my PS3™? No. You may need to turn your PS3™ off and on again, but as long as you’re in the UK and a member of the PlayStation®Network, the LOVEFiLM icon will then automatically appear on the Video section of the Xross Media Bar.

Chucky_waR Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I also found the following.. on 21-09-2011 01:20 AM - last edited on 21-09-2011 01:24 AM the_second_noel wrote: This still doesn't work for me. Have tried restoring the default settings, but I still don't even have a lovefilm icon to click on. Can someone please explain exactly what I need to do to get lovefilm on my PS3? ^ You need to trigger........ A location broadcast data on your PS3 to store your location on your account your using. This means using applications that have location based IP filters built in that read this data. Home, Vidzone ( Download from PS Store), Music unlimited ( May not be there if the location has not been stored on your PS3 correctly ). This unlocks location based firmware features. The PS3 never dialed Home correctly, likely due to having a bad network set up or not having it correctly set up when it tried to. ^ If those don't work try this. its very easy to do Ive just tryed to cover every tiny detail so it does not go wrong for you,,, ^Just try it. take 5 mins tops. ^ To get the icons ^ Create new PS3 user... NOT PSN ID log in to this user on PS3 Scroll across to PS STORE. click on PS store^ Fill in store details^ select UK for location select any date of birth over 18 go into store^ leave store. log out of new user then instantly re login to PS3 on that user. TV icon will now display ON XMB. Download all bookmarks and apps log out of new user and back to original PS3 user. Ta da icons are there. ^ Keep the new user untill your old user is fixed. ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 So 'javascript' is 'on'?? Ive set it to on but it doesn't confirm it by any means, cleared the cache etc like someone else suggested too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hurrah it's worked. I signed back in on the "new user" i'd created earlier, went into the store and I had extra options than I did on my usual log in, NetFlix and Lovefilm were then available to download from the store Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
