Wrong - there are live streams at http://www.itv.com/itv1/

I guess the OP would like the live streams incorporated into the player.

So pretty new to this hole scene but would love to be able to watch some corrie this way instead of downloading ....

I installed and followed the instructions in post #192
In fact before updating those 3 files I could run the plugin, however it asked for username and password for an itv catchup account, wouldnt let me have one being in canada.

Came and saw this thread and followed those intructions, also overwrote the libert.dll file in the frappliance folder the other has posted about.

Now I get an error as soon as I try and run the plug in.

That is the log file after trying to run the plug in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

You need a VPN if you are outside the UK.

well there you go then
I have vpn actually for US though
thanks for the response

Actually, you DON'T need a VPN.

You DO need a proxy though, and I included the ability to set the proxy in the 1.0.5 release.

A lot of ISPs rate-limit VPNs to the point where they are unusable for streaming high-quality. Get a UK proxy and go that way.

It works fine for me !

Really keen to get this working but it doesn't seem to be happening!

Using XBMC 11.0-RC1 on Ubuntu Oneiric on Acer Aspire Revo - can't get any rtmp addons working (Demand 5, ITVPlayer or 4OD - Iplayer works fine). The stream just doesn't open.

I have installed rtmpdump_2.4.

I am in the UK.

Log is here: http://pastebin.com/DJKQKufd

Any ideas?

This plugin is gem; loving it! Thanks for another good reason to use XBMC!
+1 on the live streaming request - would love to see this supported as well!

It works great for me except loading directories is really really slow.
Any ideas?
