@CaptainT - from a quick trial just now on the radio stuff with the Leia beta:
  • Listen Live - played Radio 2 ok (just as a quick check).
  • Programme List A-Z - seems to work OK. Selected a few different items from various sections, and they all played ok.
  • Categories - again, selected a couple of different ones and they both played ok.
  • Most popular - this section appears empty.
  • Added - this throws an error about not being able to log in with my BBCID, even though I'm already signed in with it.

Brilliant, thank you. I will release this state tomorrow to get thing moving for Krypton and Leia.

Most popular is as expected, I will need to look into the Added thing. Didn’t try that in a long time.
On Matrix, with the latest version of the addon, I'm struggling to watch Live, it appears to be accessing the parent mpd file OK, but then giving me a 404 on the playlist segments. Can I switch to HLS instead?

See the known issues section in changelog. This is a known issue in inputstream.adaptive. Fixes are already being prepared, but I don‘t know when they will be rolled out. In any case, there is nothing this add-on can do about it.

And regarding HLS: that has been removed for Matrix, so you cannot switch to it any more.
The test suite for evaluating the fixes is now seemingly in place, so hopefully testing those PRs shouldn't be too much longer in coming.

This is affecting a number of other video addons so there is a desire to do it, but given how complicated it is, testing is having to be done carefully and quite extensively.

Credit and thanks for the fix goes to @matthuisman and @glennguy, with team assistance from @phunkyfish .
A heads-up for everyone. A new version of InputStream Adaptive should be released imminently (look out for v2.6.11) which should resolve the channel issues in iPlayer-WWW (plus other issues in other video addons).

May take a short time for mirrors to sync and make it available, and backport for Leia should also be available soon.

great, thanx, but: "failed to install due to an invalid structure"
Which OS and Kodi version?

I just tested it on Matrix under Win10, and iPlayer is now playing BBC2 fine using it.

Also, please include a debug log and detail how you installed it. Remember it is a binary addon so just taking it from Github source will not work.

Android probably hasn't updated yet, mine still says 2.6.7
@rocko
Android IA doesn't currently get updated via repo... it's built-in to the release APK.

That's being worked on though:
https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.adaptive/pull/601

Once that is merged, the updates will start coming from the repo instead of needing a new Kodi release with it built-in.
Hopefully over the next few days. I've just finished testing it about 30mins ago.

If you want to try earlier, you can get a latest android build with that PR included from here:
https://jenkins.kodi.tv/blue/organizatio.../artifacts
Just install via zip and you should be good to go

Oh, and there are Leia builds now too:
https://jenkins.kodi.tv/blue/organizatio...artifacts/

Remember when you install via zip - the add-on gets pinned to that version and won't autoupdate via repo.
To fix that, once the repo version is available - just install that via the IA Add-on > versions menu and it will be back onto the repo

Thanks Matt,  I'm in US and i put the temporary fix in and all live channels now work except BBC Two Scotland.
On demand work okay on the ones I have tried.

Thanks again

Perhaps the OP is just proudly stating that they're in a relationship?
Anyway, enough silliness.

Has anyone else noticed disappearance of Limelight streams?
When using the manual stream selection option in the iPlayer addon, I can see only Akamai and Cloudfront streams on live tv and Akamai, Cloudfront and Bidi on catchup.
I have inputstreamadaptive 2.6.11 on a RPI4 running Librelec Kodi 19 nightlies and noticed my Android TV now has 2.6.14
I came here expecting to see that the recent changes explained why I'm not getting HD streams (max 540p). I've tried both akamai and both cloudfront streams, same resolution each time according to kodi. I see talk of using adaptive stream instead of HLS, but I can't see a relevant option in the iplayer addon settings, any help?
