RTV Mobile App Launched

Forgot my password so clicked the link to reset it

They sent me my actual password. What absolutely horrific IT security that is
 
FYI, tried installing it on the Firestick, even ignoring the messed up screen resolution, it won't play the game without Google Play Services running on the device.

Bit of a nuisance.
 
My first impressions are favourable.

Looks good for a minimum viable product (MVP).

Let’s remember this is an MVP, though – there will be teething problems to be expected and further versions will see improvements rolled out.

Seems to work OK for me with a VPN switched on, so those VPN fears can be allayed for now.
 
Watching on BT Sports just now but gave it a try and it seems to be working OK.

Be nice to be able to use it with my Nvidia Shield but that's not available at the moment.
 
Have been watching it on BT but had a wee play on my iPad. Worked really well.
Will try it properly on Saturday.
 
No because it wouldn't let me mate

And you just left it to tonight?

If you have an ongoing annual or monthly subscription then you need to email support. If you haven’t, it’s probably as well to simply create a new account. The following email was sent out in 14 Jan and has been discussed - at great length - on here ever since. Could be you didn’t update your email address, could be a glitch their end. Either way, it’s not going to fix itself.

As a loyal RangersTV subscriber we wanted to let you know that we're making some changes to the RTV website.

With a new look and a new video partner you'll be able to enjoy even more of the content you love with easier navigation and a smoother login process.

As part of the changes we'll need you to update your password, and you'll now use your email address to login.

We'll notify you again when the changes are complete, with instructions on how to update to your account.

In the meantime, you can expect to see a cancellation notice of your current monthly subscription, but don't worry, your regular payments will continue on the usual date each month.

You'll also be able to update your payment details directly within your account page, and choose to pay by card or by Paypal.

You can also look forward to new apps for iOS and Android coming later this month, so keep your eyes on RangersTV for more news.​
 
Excellent news. Website and digital offering is seriously outdated. Next stop... ticketing platform.
 
I use firstick for RTV hopefully something for that too.
For my shame I'm watching on BT sport tonight.
 
Honestly expected way more from the app. I probably would have subscribed to rtv if I could do it through Google Play, through the app. Poor.
 
I had no problems logging on and it is working well for me utilising a VPN and Apple TV. The only problem I had was when the broadband dropped out for a few minutes but that had nothing to with App.

See post #43 for the likely explanation of that. Apple/Google take a slice of the pie.

Are you really saying that you would have subscribed to RangersTV were it not for the ‘inconvenience’ of having to do the sign-up process via the website? :oops:
 
Glad we are moving to Stadion for 20/21 cause this StreamAMG mob are pretty amateur with clients including giants like Leyton Orient, Charlton and Sunderland.

??? StreamAMG will continue to provide RangersTV. Stadion will take over the official website.

As far as I can see, in addition to the ‘minnows’ you list, StreamAMG also look after Liverpool, Everton, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolves. Stadion are involved with Man City and PSG.

StreamAMG are owned by PA Group, that’s the Press Association, so hardly small fry.

PA Group – the news and information business and parent company of the Press Association – has added StreamAMG to its growing portfolio of specialist media businesses, having taken a 61% stake in the video streaming company.

I'm sorry but on the app store the only teams they provide the same app that we have is for Leyton Orient, Forest Green Rovers, Sunderland, Charlton.

Ah, the App Store LOL. Get a lot more info here:


Certainly involved with those I mentioned either now or in the past, not necessarily in providing an App though. Bear in mind they don’t just do our new App they do the web-streaming as well.

Yeah the app store lol, you know because it's an app they supply us.

See my edit. The basic point is you are suggesting they are ‘small fry’. They aren’t. If you don‘t want to accept that then fine, I’ve linked you to examples of those they work with in various capacities. Have a read of the link I provided, scroll to their ‘Clients Stories’ if you like and read what they do/did for those I mentioned. There‘s a bit more to providing streaming services than doing an App.

... you can please some of the people etc., etc., :rolleyes: ;):))
 
Anyone else having issues with the app in landscape mode on an iPad? Right side of the screen is cut off so can't even hit the full screen button at the bottom right.
 
Rangers tv not working for me very close to the Chinese border and it’s nothing to do with Corona.
 
forgot to say I’m actually in Budapest so shouldn’t need a VPN.

Hmm, log out and back in again. I had an issue last week using my VPN where my phone was also logged in (without VPN) as well as my iPad and it wouldn’t give me the game.
 
Couldn't watch the game due to buffering on normal internet browsers. It's been perfect via the app on my ipad
 
I’ve used PIA as my VPN for a few years, and used it with RTV for 6 months. (I was in Australia before that so had no use for VPN with RTV). My subscription to PIA is up for renewal and I will probably look to go to another one. Somebody recommended one to me in another thread but I just want to see what the most used paid for VPN was in terms of RTV. What one do you use?

Also, since the new video partner came on the scene a few weeks ago, my service has been crippled. It struggles to start sometimes, plays then buffers, and randomly logs me out. I use a variation of MacBook, iPhone and iPad, and out to Apple TV. Ive used various browsers and now the app. I reduced it to the lowest stream setting, no joy. Clearing cache and cookies, etc doesn’t work. I have 80mb fibre BB that works faultlessly with all other media including live TV and sport from Australia. I’m at a loss as to what is wrong with RTV. It was perfect before the new video partner was introduced and I was wondering what all the fuss was about when people were complaining about it crapping out. Nothing has changed on my side, and it has all of a sudden become unusable. I’ve lost hope that I can get it to work again and I’m reluctantly thinking about stopping RTV and looking elsewhere for the games.

What’s the best alternative to RTV for catching the most amount of our games live on TV? I have a Humax box, so I can’t get anything that comes on the Sky and Virgin platforms. Only what might be available in addition to Freesat, or anything that comes as a streaming service.

Can’t help you with paras 2 and 3. As regards PIA, it’s the one I use. I find it excellent and it is one of the fastest out there. In terms of the most recommended the two that repeatedly come out ahead are ExpressVPN and NordVPN. I don’t think your VPN is the problem though (and it’s not often I say that).

Flawless for me today again using PIA.
