Nothing I can do about this. I send the url to xbmc to play (using librtmp to talk to the server). this could be a networking issue, or something else. perhaps try another stream provider.

Hey,

Got pretty excited about this addon earlier today when I saw it existed! Installed it successfully on my Apple TV 2 running XBMC but had no luck in actually streaming anything. I'm obviously based in the UK, but when I clicked TV > Popular and selected a Doctor who episode it started to load, but then always quit within about 2 seconds of playing. Sometimes the video started streaming, sometimes it just didn't load at all. The same thing happened on every video I tried.

I played around a lot with the settings as well, but that didn't help. Nothing seemed to make it better. Also had a go at streaming some of the live tv, but when I clicked a channel nothing seemed to happen. Is this feature implemented yet?

Anyway, created a debug log file like you asked . Hope it helps you get to the bottom of this as it would be an amazing feature to have. Just in case you're wondering, I've replaced some passwords with *HIDDEN*. It can be found here:

Thanks!

How is your machine connected? Looks like "networking" issues as they do start playing. of course it could be anything, from wireless dropouts, to a temporary issue at the cdn. worth trying a few providers or dropping the quality to 800kbit perhaps. Or perhaps just try in a few hours and see if it was a temporary glitch. not sure I can help more than that, as it fails after the stream url has been sent to xbmc, when the plugin is no longer involved.

live tv should work, at least when I last tried.

Live TV does absolutely nothing it seems. XBMC doesn't even give me a "Loading" or anything, the Apple TV just flashes its white LED to say it's received a signal from the remote.

I don't think it can be a problem with the internal network, especially because just before I started this test I was streaming 1080p MKVs around just fine to the TV using XBMC. It's all wired up with Cat5e to our Drobo FS. Wireless is off. Oh yeah, and I tried every provider on the list earlier today. I didn't manually set it to 800kbit, as I thought Auto would choose the best option. I did manually set it to 1600 though, but it was just the same.

Really appreciate the help though mate. I'll definitely try again in the morning.

Had another look and I'm still getting the same problem even when setting the stream quality to its lowest. Also tried reinstalling the addon, but to no avail.

Just another note, when I open the plugin and get presented with the:

TV
Radio
Settings

options, I can't seem to go into the settings menu this way either. It responds just the same as to watching a live show, where the Apple TV 2 blinks its light, but nothing actually happens. Tried changing timeout settings as well, but no luck there.

Just so you know, streaming works fine on the other xbmc areas. I can use Apple Movie Trailers Lite without issues, and addons like Revision 3 and Gametrailers don't have problems either.

Sorry to be a bit spammy, but I now love this guy:

sdesign Wrote:Not sure it will help fix the bugs people are experiencing but i have noticed that if you have xbmc set to "show information" under settings/videos/file lists/default select action and then use select to access the iplayer addon videos, hitting play in the video info screen will not play the video.

If you instead set xbmc to "play" as default select action then they will play.

So it appears, for me at least, the playback problem is caused by the addon using the default select action and failing to loads video from the show info page. I notice other video addons don't take you to the video info page when you hit select even if this is your default select action. Maybe this could be changed for this plugin to work?

As a workaround, If, like me, you like having your default select action set to show info (for use with movies, tv shows etc.) then you should use the play button to playback videos in the iplayer addon and not use select. This way videos will playback fine.

This fix worked perfectly as, like him, I had set "Show Information" as the default select action. I've now changed it to "Play" and it works. For some reason, clicking play from the "Show Information" window breaks it.

Also, this has also now made Live TV and the setting menu work. I guess "Show Information" didn't register as a selection command or something.

Anyway, would be amazing if you could automatically make the default action in the iPlayer addon "Play" exobuzz. I like having movie information appear before watching movies. As sdesign says, all other addons seem to do this anyway and ignore the user's setting.

Just so happy this works now . Doctor Who ftw. Streaming in HD works flawlessly.


EDIT: The only other thing I'd like to see is a "Loading..." sign when clicking settings or live tv. XBMC just seems to hang once I've selected something for about 4 seconds which unnerves me a little.

May beworth noting I havetrid removing/adding iplayer, and updated to the very latest nightly and still get the same error.
