Sounds awful to me.
RE: [RELEASE] iPlayer - BBC Video and Music Plugin (UK only!) - exobuzz - 2014-11-01
The corporates control everything anyway no (including government) ?
But certainly I don't consider the BBC unbiased - always good to get your news from multiple unrelated sources. I often feel there is a lot of bias / and even dishonesty in things like Panorama etc too.
I'm not sure the BBC is worth the licence fee any more - but I watch very little - a couple of panel shows like Have I got news for you, and a bit of news (and the occasional one off drama if I notice one). Unfortunately most of TV these days is reality tv, or now even fake/scripted reality tv....
oops. going off topic here

I hope it's okay for me to mention this here, I don't want to tread on any toes, but...
I searched for xunitytalk repo, installed the zip, then the BBC iPlayer by Mikey1234 works fine. He's released it in the past day or two as a result of the BBC's changes, I've emailed Aunty to tell them what I think to their changes but thank goodness for all the talented developers we have on the XBMC platform.

The Government technically control the news now then. The corporates control online media as well, now. How does this in reality change anything? What it does do is remove a whole level of enforcement in the UK and allows people not to be taxed on watching TV. At the moment if you watch TV in the UK without paying you are a criminal. How is that right?
RE: [RELEASE] iPlayer - BBC Video and Music Plugin (UK only!) - torenvalk - 2014-11-01
That new iPlayer addon has a preset proxy that bypasses geoblock and stream quality options, which is already more features than what the previous addon had.
RE: [RELEASE] iPlayer - BBC Video and Music Plugin (UK only!) - MediaPi - 2014-11-01
Thanks exobuzz, hitcher and everyone that contributed to the addon. Especially exobuzz for maintaing it for 4 years!
the only show that I really watch is eastenders and I did not know what to do
thanks also to speedwell68, I did not know mickey123 made it work, you developers are so amazing and also the community!!!

Yes, but none of it is in 720p and for that reason I will stick with the Plex option. Also for anyone that wants to watch the BBC channels live I have recently discovered the MX BBC Player, which is quite good.

I have no desire to add xunity repo. Can you make available the zip of the BBC addon? Should be under your addons/packages directory.

I think you may have eaten too much Daily Mail....
The UK Government does NOT control the news - the BBC is as impartial a new broadcaster as it is possible to get
. Maybe you should watch Fox ?
And who wants adverts
? That is the way it would go with only dumbed-down game shows.Seriously - go and live in the Truman Show for a while (that's the US of A) and you'll soon see what the "commerical" world delivers for ALL parts of society.
The funding model is broken because the present government have tampered with it. £145 is a superb deal - much better than adverts, sponsorship or the begging that other broadcasters rely on.
RE: [RELEASE] iPlayer - BBC Video and Music Plugin (UK only!) - castalla - 2014-11-02
I agree that the current licence fee is a terrific bargain. We were able to watch decent advert-less tv all this evening while the commercial channels just had a mindless compilation of pap interspersed with adverts ad nauseam.
Beats me why people shell out 50 squids a month to SKY to watch the same old movies, etc. On the other hand, Sky has used its financial muscle to hoover up lots of content - parasites.

RE: [RELEASE] iPlayer - BBC Video and Music Plugin (UK only!) - zuccster - 2014-11-02
Yes, but, where did that API key come from?
The Nitro API registration is currently available only to BBC employees.
Sure, someone could use that key to rewrite the part of plugin to grab metadata from Nitro, but if the key is revoked, we're back to square one.

Interesting what running a packet sniffer on Android whilst running the official iPlayer App will reveal when analysed.
Fixing that will probably be a major rewrite.
We could just do with an areas to change the API key in the plugin, I think we will be able to request an API key from the BBC in the future anyway.

I'm getting 720p (3200kbps) streams on every program you would expect to have them.

You can just download the addon directly. It's quite good for such a fast release but expect bugs and it will probably be superseded in a matter of days.
