Hi, firstly thanks for a great addon.
I am trying to launch watch live/channels/BBC One using a json command but I cant seem to find the correct way to do it. Using the string below opens the Iplayer Addon but I can't seem to be able to drill down into the TV,Watch Live, and then select either BBC One, BBC Two etc.
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Addons.ExecuteAddon","params":{"addonid":"plugin.video.iplayer", "params":"mode":"live"}},"id":"1"}}
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Changing the stream provider fixes the issue of streams failing. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which providers are problematic but I haven't looked too hard because of the workaround.
edit:
Live streams seem to break completely though.

Same solution; setting stream provider to auto was giving errors but manually selecting the Akamai CDN fixed the problem. Looks like the BBC have a bad content provider in their network. Akamai is massive so that should be enough.

Hi Can anyone help
I have been using the BBC Iplayer for some time with a proxy but since updating to V2.6.10 the playback streams work fine but live streams and radio streams have stopped working.

I haven't read this thread, but I going to guess that it's using get_iplayer or similar parts to grab the video. The BBC recently changed methods to stop that application from working correctly. It does still mostly work but it will require an update.

I am pretty sure this has been asked before, but any help for this " Playback failed: One or more items failed to play. "?
