Yes, for the past week iPlayerWWW hasn't been working at all despite testing with all available settings on a daily basis.
The iPlayer website in Firefox has been working okay.
HLS Limelight for live all streams and catchup had been working fine for the past couple of months.

Nothing had been working until today but now I'm seeing Dash Limelight streams on catchup.
Limelight on live streams throws the spurious "not in the uk" error.
However, I can see some incredibly slow (Bidi?) streams on live TV but excessive buffering makes them impossible to watch.
Akamai streams go through the motions of trying to play but give up.
That said, I have rarely been able to play akamai streams anyway.

I lost track of this thread due to some change of the forum, which removed my notifications. Should be fine again, now.

So I am still around, but did not use the add-on much lately, so I can't tell if there has been a change or not. Comparing to Firefox won't help as it uses different streams (a different mediaselector URL). I suspected for a long time that the mediaselector we use in the add-on will be made obsolete at some point of time. Let's wait and see.

As always, if you run into issues, try to provide as much information as possible, please. For instance: What errors do you get with Limelight? Are there any messages in kodi.log? Somebody said that DASH streams "showed up". What did the settings look like at that point of time?

The more information you provide, the more likely it is I am able to duplicate the issue. Otherwise I just start up my machine, see if it works, and shrug.

Please don't take this personal. It is meant as much for you as anybody else.

Message I'm getting is 'BBC iPlayer Tv Programmes are only available to play in the UK'.   Have no issue playing streams on the website, iOS apps or apple tv.  
Using Dash Limelight to  play streams.   Akami and Bidi will try to play but just constantly buffer.
Here is a link to my log.  https://paste.kodi.tv/dapagiceka.kodi

Thanks again for your help.

It looks like the BBC has begun using a different format for the subtitles and the plugin can't parse it. One random example is "Art of Persia", here is the link to the subtitle file:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/subtitles/n...622537.xml
There are no line breaks in the file. I could fix that, but my Python is not nearly good enough to fix all the other problems, including the styling that's missing.

Thanks for any help with this!
Cheers,

I also came here looking for a solution to my missing subtitle issue. I'm aware some programmes simply don't have subtitles, but a lot of programmes that do have subtitles in the Android iPlayer app, don't have functioning subtitles in this Kodi addon. Could this be why? Hope this can be fixed in an upcoming version!

Thanks & keep up the good work!
