I can confirm all seems to be working again. Seems it must of been an issue from filmon’s side. This bug should be closed. It’s not a bug any more.

I think FilmOn may have fixed whatever it was that was broken. I’ve tried a few channels and it seems all is working again. Is it working again for any of you now?

Edited to add: I didn’t mention this previously, but I emailed their support yesterday about the gateway time-outs. I have not received any further emails or notifications, but having just logged into the support website, I note the ticket has been closed and marked as resolved.
