Many thanks for this thread - really nice having iplayer at the top level. To make this complete tho is it possible to get the channels / categories on the submenu?

p.s. - anyone got any better background images up for grabs than the one earlier in this thread? I scoured google and flickr for something better and drew a big blank...

Cheers! Shoesy x

Guys,

I've tried to follow what was posted here by editing my home.xml, but I can't seem to get it to work at all, could you please post your home.xml here?

Or if possible give a little more detail on how you got this to work?

Im running xbmc9.11 with no mods btw.

When I edited my home.xml to include your code:


<control type="button" item id="12">
<label>iPlayer TV</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(24,plugin://video/IPlayer/?tvradio=tv)</onclick>
<icon>/home/pictures/backgrounds/iplayer.jpg</icon>
</control>

XBMC would not let me re-enable the aeon skin. (I changed the iplayer.jpg path to the correct location for my pc)

What do type="button" and item id"=12" correspond to?

Why the hell would you be enabling the aeon skin? You're in Confluence section...

I'd like to do this as well.

I've got the submenu sorted out, but I have no idea how to activate, say, the live BBC One stream on click. Is this possible?

So the same way to code previously mentioned in this thread, "ActivateWindow(24,plugin://video/iPlayer/?tvradio=tv)" tells XBMC to go straight to the TV section, is it possible to go TV -> Watch Live -> BBC One?

bump?

Try this. Add the live stream to favourites. And look in favouries.xml to find the code .........\XBMC\userdata\favourites.xml.

Genius!

That's worked. For anyone interested the command is:

Code:

<onclick>RunPlugin(plugin://video/iPlayer/?pid=0&amp;label=bbc_one_london)</onclick>
