[RELEASE] iPlayer - BBC Video and Music Plugin (UK only!)

Just got that latest update, all working.
Thanks very much for that, learn something new every day

to be honest dink i havent seen it implimented in any other plugin as far as i can remember. just noticed it in Library / TV Shows OSD and asumed it would be a callable command in the plugin code. must just be a XBMC Library feature and not in the plugin engine. it will probably have to be requested as a new xbmc feature. il put a request in on the trac when i get a spare sec.

I'm having a lot of trouble in the Settings page. As soon as I go in there, it pops up another window on top "Loading directory: retrieved 0 items" with only a Cancel button. Pressing Cancel changes the title of that window to "canceling..." (sic) and then locks up the xbox.
Any ideas please?

I should add that the rest of the plugin seems to work fine. Using T3CH XBMC 2009-05-09 9.04-Babylon build.

I will have a look into this. For now to get to the settings when selecting a channel or series bring up the context menu, press the title button, and select plugin settings.

Anyone else have this issue?

I am running IPlayer-2009-05-14.zip with the latest release XBMC 9.04.1 (20542), but it still have the issue of the video playing faster than the audio.

My settings: WinXP, dual core athlon XP (cpu at 30% on load), 2gigs, nvidia 9600GT and 12Mb/s internet. The issue shows up on any H.264 stream, no matter what's the quality setting (auto works tho).

Thanks for the ongoing work!

auto on that revision should be H.264 800. If you search in the log for CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg that will confirm either VP6 or H.264.

It may be time for you to experiment with the video player settings Home Screen -> System -> Videos -> Player. There you can change the render method, upscaling method and set various sync settings.

If that doesn't work please do check that you have up to date video and audio drivers.

If that doesn't work can you please post a debug log using http://pastebin.com/

Indeed now auto has the same issue. When I tried it it was the one I got from the repo installer (which I suppose used flash?).

I tried all of them with no luck. I was not upscaling and the rest used default settings.

I am using the nvidia 182.06 drivers. They are not the latest but they were pretty stable (compared to older versions) so I am not that eager to update.

That's the standard log:

and this is the debug:

Thanks for the help!

can you post the first 40 or so lines from a log so that I can confirm your exact setup

Hi. Great plugin.

I've been using the old standard definition one for a while with no problems, Now trying the HD version. Using plugins settings -> video stream to use as "auto" it selects the H264 (800Kb) stream (I think). It works well for about 4 mins then the xbox freezes. I think it's down to a memory leak. Debug log is here:

If I manually change the video stream setting to Flash (512Kb) is works perfectly, but obviously pic quality not as good.

Any ideas why? Am I running the wrong xbmc build? I updated to the latest I could find after some picture "stuttering" issues on the previous version I was using.

Thanks,
Dabberdave
