Can you try an SVN build as SVN builds for both windows and xbox work for me with these streams. Looking in the XBMC Mac forum the SVN builds seem to be listed under the following thread
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=44301

It took me a while to set things up (I did not have access to the original computer anymore).

I downloaded a recent SVN version of XBMC for Mac, this was SVN18298 dated March 6th 2009. I then today downloaded the latest ITV plugin from your site. I then tried the catchup option, specifically "Law and Order UK". It got as far as listing all the shows and episodes but would not play these episodes.

The full debug log can be accessed via http://pastebin.com/me147455

If anything things are worse now since the Live streams no longer work either.

The Mac mini used is an Intel model running Mac OS X 10.4.11. Previously I was using an Intel Mac mini running Mac OS X 10.5.6 (returned now to the owner).

I then tried the iPlayer plugin on this same Mac mini and it failed to even list channels and shows.

I next tried using a MacBook running Mac OS 10.5.6. The iPlayer plugin works fine on that. Clearly the iPlayer plugin needs Mac OS X 10.5.x (probably some Python dependency not in Mac OS X 10.4.x). On this same MacBook I also tried the ITV plugin but got the same results as on the Mac mini, catchup did not work, neither did live ITV.

Considering the BBC got so much flack over not originally supporting Macs with iPlayer. It is ironic that iPlayer is working on Macs in XBMC but not ITV.

Latest version now at http://drop.io/xbmcdink .This version fixes an issue when the very latest SVN builds no longer support xbmc.PlayList().add(url,string) but need xbmc.PlayList().add(url,listitem)

Can you supply a log showing the issue with live streams?

Oh dear, looks worse. Now XBMC is completely crashing when I try playing a catchup program, rather than merely failing to play it. See http://pastebin.com/m17c3a27a

This was on the MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.6.

I did not get on to trying live streams yet.

Perhaps try an earlier build from Feb. For me the windows builds in the last couple of weeks have been quite unstable.

Good suggestion. I just tried the Feb 6th build of SVN17583 I found and it does now successfully play the Law and Order catchup!

However the live streams are still broken. No crashes in this build though.

Looks from the log that your XBMC build isn't able to play the mss:// url

The problem may be with the ITV website as at the moment I can't get it to play live streams either. It was an hour or so ago on the same setup.

Looks like you were right, the live streams seem to be working today.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Having problems getting this plugin working :-(

Ubuntu Intrepid w/ Kernel 2.6.28-8
XBMC: SVN 18304
Plugin: The Best of ITV-2009-03-17.zip

A typical log is here: http://pastebin.com/m198f8c2

Looking on the voinage plugin site, there was a big message saying "Only works on XBox", but I wasn't sure whether that was still revelant, as others in this thread seem to have it working on different platforms.

Any help would be muchos appreciated!

Dink now maintains the plugin, so anything on my site is VERY old.

[lens]

Ah righto. Just to be clear I'm using the lastest one from the drop.io linked earlier :-)

The problem appears to be XBMC having a problem with mms:// streams. SVN build r18262 works fine for me. The latest r18760 Linux build fails with a "Remove movie from Library" dialog so I wouldn't go there.

Hi Folks

It looks like the major problem this plugin had with recent SVN releases has been fixed. Builds from at least SVN:19783 (2009-04-29) should work just fine.

Hi
Have the ITV Plugin on XBMC for windows SVN 20720 and none of the ITV streams seem to work, BBC still seems to be fine.

Should ITV be working on this build?

Thanks
