Hey. Just want to let people who use Niji Show know it is working again right now, all 11 Japanese… - Feed Post by mog86uk
Hey. Just want to let people who use Niji Show know it is working again right now, all 11 Japanese TV channels are up! I've missed watching Japanese TV and had almost given up on Niji working properly again... So I'm really happy that it's working again, and near 100% perfectly!
However, it is important to make sure to uninstall any older versions you have and get version 2.1.6 directly from their homepage (because updating the older version 2.0.8 to 2.1.6 causes Niji to not work properly).
You can download 2.1.6 by clicking the big orange download button on this page:

Also, if you need help using the program, check out my forum thread about it

Here's a screenshot showing it working in Windows 10. ^^

- Just a shame that all that's on right now is daytime TV... seeing as the time is 13:15 right now in Japan. Evening TV is where the good stuff is at. Oh well. ^^;March 26, 2015 at 1:18pm
- Been using it for 2 hours straight, TV streaming non-stop, working near flawlessly.
Been quite a while since I've seen it running so well, with none of that "ppp_release.exe has stopped working" nonsense every ten minutes. That issue was related to the updater not updating to 2.1.6 correctly from 2.0.8. Not seen any error messages now that I've downloaded 2.1.6 installer straight from the website--no problems at all. ^^March 26, 2015 at 1:27pm - This is a bit more related to your screenshot than your post hehe: how did you make it so you type in the answer instead of choosing multiple choice? Is it something you unlock after Level 6?March 27, 2015 at 1:12am
- @xxkiiroxx Sadly it's not something that gets unlocked or anything like that. JCJP used to have a text input answering box for Practice in a previous version of this site, but it was removed in this version.
This gave me the idea of re-making that text input feature myself (and improving on it). This is a mod I've made for Practice, to make it a lot more challenging. I'm still improving it and thought I'd sneak it into this screenshot to show to the people who were previously interested. I've talked about this mod in a previous post, here:

- ひさしぶりですね!March 27, 2015 at 3:57am
- @Annick It's not that bad. I tested it out for you by limiting my network card to 2mbit/sec, and it manages to stream the video perfectly fine. ^^
Hopefully no matter what your computer/internet speed is like, it should be alright. It does run pretty flat out for 2mbit/sec though, but it's been playing for 10 minutes now on that limited speed and hasn't stuttered or stopped to buffer even once! :)
@Wuxu I'm actually still using JCJP every day (although I missed a couple of days recently when the site was down). I just can never earn EXP on this account anymore, since I've answered every single Practice/Lesson question 29 times or more, so I always get 0 EXP on every question. If you look on my profile page, my EXP graph for the last month shows I've either earned 0 EXP or minus EXP each day... ;_;March 27, 2015 at 10:34am - @Wuxu Oh wait, did you actually mean it's been a while since Niji Show was working properly? oops. ^^;March 27, 2015 at 10:36am
- oh.... Japanese TV, missed it so much. Thanks for sharing info about this app.March 28, 2015 at 6:38am
- I mean that I did not find you were not on top of practice with this ID or other one for long time.March 31, 2015 at 5:34am
- I heard that Japanese TV was really REALLY bad... :pApril 1, 2015 at 7:36am
- @black_cat Glad I can help. Hope this app works well for you?
@Wuxu Yeah, I kind of got bored of the experiment I was doing on my other account, mog_0xpjanai.

My main account is never going to get to the top of the daily rankings tables since I can only earn minus EXP doing Practice...
@M3gadriel It depends what you're into. But yeah, at the time of day I try to use the app it's always daytime TV in Japan, so lots of programs about food and stuff like that.
There is lots of anime and more interesting shows in the evenings though. However, that to watch evening TV I'd have to be awake between 9am-2pm here in the UK, which is the exact time I'm asleep... And I miss early night time TV because I'm at work.
For example, here's a lineup of anime tonight on TV Tokyo / TV Osaka:
TV Osaka
1730-1800 テニスの王子様 {The Prince of Tennis}
TV Tokyo / TV Osaka
1800-1830 たまごっち! たまともだいしゅーGO {Tamagochi Daishuu GO}
1830-1900 アイカツ! {Aikatsu!}
1900-1930 ポケットモンスター XY {Pokemon XY}
1930-2000 NARUTO疾風伝 {Naruto Shippuden}April 2, 2015 at 12:36am - Mog, is this still working for you? I dl'd it, was amazed at the stream not being interrupted but lately none of the channels connect. Was hoping you had some luck with it.April 21, 2015 at 10:56am
- @Mugicha, I hadn't actually used it at all over the last few days. Just tried it now and it's the same problem for me - none of the channels connect.
I tried to find out if there is a new version available, but the latest version is still 2.1.6. I have no idea at the moment if there is any way to get it working. The servers may just be randomly offline for a few days then will be back again, who knows... If I find anything out, I'll post it on here.April 21, 2015 at 11:10am - thx man, I appreciate you giving us the heads up on this in the first place, Ive been hoping to catch some of the tigers' games :)April 21, 2015 at 11:24am
- @Mugicha, It's working again right now. 10/11 channels are online and working properly. The only channel offline is the children's educational channel, NHK教育.
Hopefully for you the app will still be working when the next game is on. ^^April 27, 2015 at 10:04am - thx for the heads up Mog! I hadn't had a chance to check it in a few days and it seems to be working well! I love watching just about anything just to hear the different uses of the spoken language, but as far as the baseball goes I'm happy catching any of it :DApril 27, 2015 at 1:27pm
- Hi! I didn't know where else to post or ask this: so I was wondering if you could possibly let me know a full list of resources that you recommend? I remember you mentioning on another thread that you could list one almost 10 times as long as the one you wrote. It would be cool if you posted it in your feed for everyone to check out.
Thanks!June 7, 2015 at 3:05pm - On topic: I don't think Niji Show is working at the moment? For the last couple of weeks it always says "network error" when I enter username and password trying to log in. Anyone else having this problem?
@OwlPrincess, I wouldn't mind writing a full list, but it would take quite a bit of time and work to present it nicely. I have already said I would share my JCJP Practice answer-by-typing mod, so I should get on and get that done before spending time on starting something else. However, I've got some unexpected real life stuff to deal with this weekend which has been taking up most of my time.
For now, here's the link to that thread you already mentioned:
http://japaneseclass.jp/feeds/comment/6638
And here's another thread where I posted a longer list of Japanese grammar sites, many of them not included on my more recent post:
http://japaneseclass.jp/feeds/comment/5632
When I have more free time I may try and write the full list. ^^June 8, 2015 at 1:04am - aww dang I didn't realize niji was down again, I had been a little too busy with my crunchyroll backlog and forgot to check . hopefully it'll get up and running again soon.June 8, 2015 at 10:03am
