Cool, will repost the log the correct way when I get a chance.
I've actually done some work locally for displaying aertv channels in the root menu.
Channels can be shown or hidden based on settings.
One thing that is hindering my testing is that I live in Boston.
Ideally I'd like to use AerTv Sports or AerTv Music locally for testing as they are not geo blocked.
The problem is that I don't know what the default stream name is for these and can't figure it out.
E.g. for RTE2, RTETWO_v500.stream is the default stream name. I have no idea how you figured that part out!
I've looked through a bunch of the aertv requests with Charles and couldn't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

@frequency RTE is down for me too. Looking into it.
Fair play - thanks a million. It was working on my Pi (just not on any PCs), so I'll double check if it still works there.

I won't be putting the AerTV channels into the root menu, that's just poor design. The solution I will implement will be to optionally not show the EPG in the AerTV section.

I guess it depends on your usage of the plugin.
I might be different to others but my primary usage of the plugin is to watch rugby or gaa games on rte / tv3.
So I turn on my apple tv 2 minutes before the game starts and know which channel I want to play.
Having the option of putting channels on the root menu is one less menu navigation.
Also there's no reason for not having both the option of turning off the EPG and the option of showing AerTV channels on the root menu.

Mixing submenu items with root menu items may be convenient for some, but it's poor design for everyone (making things convenient doesn't always mean good design). In my opinion that's a good reason not to do it.
On the other hand you can add AerTV channels to the Favourites menu. Just highlight the channel, open the context menu and "Add to Favourites". That way you can go straight to the channels without having show the root menu.
Regarding the brightcove issue, I fixed that but I didn't think it would make a difference. Thanks for checking that out. It never would have occurred to me that the fallback URL would work for me but not over SmartDNS.

Yeah, I tried adding the channels to my favorites.
Weirdly (it's the same for iPlayer) it works fine with Xbmc on OSX but doesn't work on Xbmc on my apple tv (Xbmc as a whole ends up freezing).
I could change the defaults for the adding of channels to the root menu so that none are enabled.
That way, the UI stays the same as now and would only change if a user explicitly added a channel to the root menu.
I took a look at the RTE videos not playing but couldn't tell much.
It could be librtmp related but I think I have the latest one available.
These two lines seem to indicate something librtmp related
RTMP_ClientPacket, flex message, size 16410 bytes, not fully supported
RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
