Nice icons Rocky5. I've uploaded the higher resolution templates as .PSDs if anyone wants to edit them.

I think I see the problem. On Linux the sort direction is inverted for some reason (just did a quick test). Under Xbox and Windows the sort order works just fine. Try changing the sort order and the order of the channels will make a lot more sense. The change unfortunately doesn't stick. I will have a closer look but I'm not sure if this is a feature of XBMC on Linux or bug.

Cheers

Thanks Dink, can't believe I missed that Blush

Not a problem. It does look like SORT_METHOD_TRACKNUM is buggy under Linux which limits my ability to implement a work around in the plugin.

I downloaded the iplayer plugin and placed the files in Program Files\XBMX\Plugins\Video\iPlayer

In XBMC under videos I added a source to the folder above.

When I select iPlayer in the menu it just lists the contents of that folder, what am I doing wrong?

When you Add Source you need to scroll down the list of available sources until you reach "Video plugins". It sounds like you added the directory path instead. See http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_insta...n_XBMC_GUI for more details

Just wanted to express my thanks to the creator of the iPlayer plug in, great work! Really enjoying getting seamless iPlayer on my TV.

I also wanted to highlight that it is being reported that the BBC will be unleashing the iPlayer HD this month:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology/...-21184813/

Do you think this plugin will be able to be updated to support this? Also, I am looking at getting an Apple TV to install xbmc and I was wondering if it could cope with streaming HD from the iPlayer? I know the apple TV is capable of playing 720p when it is H.264 but I am not sure what file type iPlayer uses (is it Flash?) and if so, does that mean the Apple TV could display it?

Thanks!

Hi. Ive just gone from using XBMC on an xbox to installing it on a Vista32 HTPC. I dont seem to be able to get the iPlayer plugin working though. Whenever I try to start a stream the stream is "terminated"

Also where can I find my logs on vista! lol

God I feel like a noob.
