Is there any way to feed a program ID into the plugin?
I realise all the programming isn't available in the listings that the BBC provide, but it would be nice if i could find a program on the BBC website then tell the iplayer addon to play it directly?
Just now, if a show is on the website but not on the plugin, i end up downloading it manually with get iplayer, watch it then delete it again, which is a little tedious. If i could just type the PID or URL from the website into the plugin that would solve the immediate issue without too much effort?

Once the file is downloaded it is a media file like any other. Name correctly, update library, done.

Thanks, I didn't read your post properly. I thought you meant adding a link to the library...

Got it.
I just jumped to the the wishful conclusion that you could add links from get_iplayer to the library, because I think it would be quite neat if you could get access to all the programming that way.

Hi,
Seeing all streams cut out after a couple of minutes. Resuming the show leads to it stopping at the exact same second, it's as if there is no data after that point in the video and it's impossible to jump forward beyond that point.
Any known issues, on 2.6.10 with that latest Ubuntu Helix release?

Im having terrible buffering issues even with advancedsettings.xml setting up the recommended streaming and caching settings
Ive even lowered stream quality and tested out each streaming source such as akamai etc
Its not my internet because iplayer through my android device to chromecast works perfectly fine no buffering

Hi All,
Is there any way to script the launching of streams?
I used to use the XBMC Alarm Clock in conjunction with the BBC Radio windows media streams to wake up to the radio in the morning.
Since the BBC stopped those streams, this no longer works.
I'm thinking I could use a cron-type addon to start this plugin on the radio stream but have no idea whether this is possible?
Thanks for any and all help...

Having issues with 2.6.10 using Helix 14.1 on a Win 8 machine. Seems that some episodes won't load at all, others will work for a bit but then stop after 20min. Upon resume nothing changes. Have tried rebooting the machine but no difference. Everything was working fine with this setup up until about a week ago. Any thoughts?
