Thanks for this request. It is very unlikely, that this feature can be added. The iPlayer website does not offer this kind of "view".

If there was an option on the website to filter by channel, then it would be possible to include it in the add-on. However, the channel information is only available for some programmes and it is sometimes only available on the specific programme page. So in order to build up a "database" for filtering by channel, you would need to scrape the whole iPlayer website first. This will take too long (my guess is a couple of minutes) and I suspect that the Beeb might misinterpret this as a DoS-attack.

Installation is fine, but when I try to open any content, I get a message about "Cookie: No such file", then playback failure.
In the log, I get this:

Any suggestions?

ETA: Created the directory: /home/pi/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.iplayerwww
That seems to have fixed it.

Well, fixed it for live viewing, but in the catch-up section I get something like this:

Works great although I'm I right in thinking the only way to add to this is from the website? Adding to favourites through the app just adds to the Kodi global favourities.

Existing installations will auto-update. Please still remove it and then reinstall it.

The reason is simple: The zip-files from Github install to a subfolder called plugin.video.iplayerwww-master. However, the add-on expects to be installed in a directory called plugin.video.iplayerwww. This can cause errors like the first part mentioned in post 138.

Once it has been installed correctly, new releases will be automatically provided through the official repo.
