Hi
I'm suddenly haveing problems with this addon which was working well until recently. I'm in the UK so in theory all should work for me.
when i try and open any of the folders such as highlights i get an error saying
iplayer WWW error
pleasse check the log for more information
an extract of the log for the point of error can be found here
http://paste.ubuntu.com/16293701/
but the error seems to be this bit
Code:

Looks like a problem we have seen before, see
here. There is/was an incompatibility between certain versions of Requests (a module iPlayer WWW uses internally) and osrandom (a module Requests uses). The incomaptible versions might just have hit your Ubuntu installation.
Unfortunately, there is not much the add-on can do about this. Basically it is a third party add-on used internally that is broken in a certain version.
I thought this problem was fixed a long time ago. Please check if you can find any updates to Requests or Kodi itself.

from the looks of it, you are going to need valid bbc iplayer credentials...
Can't see that happening myself. I reckon it'll just be a warning page like you currently get when you access live content via the iPlayer website.

I wouldn't be so sure about this. If you check the actual white paper at
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/sy...ed__1_.pdf you will find that it is very vague. It says on page 95:
Quote:In order to improve enforcement and allow BBC content to be ‘portable’ for UK licence fee payers (so they could gain access while on holiday in Europe, something which is currently not offered) the government thinks there is a case for iPlayer to require verification – i.e. access should be conditional upon verification of licence fee payment – so that individuals in other countries, and those in the UK not paying the fee, cannot access licence fee funded content for free. The government will discuss verification and other options with the BBC and look at the best way of implementing this, including through regulations if needed. It will be up to the BBC to determine whether this is an appropriate means of charging international viewers.
So there is no decision whether or not to implement a technical enforcement and what technology to use. In fact, this may be good news for Brits on holiday or even for an international audience if they decide to open iPlayer as a subscription service.
Would this work with the add-on? Noone knows today. It all comes down to how the technical enforcement may be implemented. If they use the BBCiD it may well work without any changes.
Other than that I believe the discussion should be continued in another thread, perhaps this one:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...id=2268072
Just to let everyone know: The Beeb have fiddled around with some things again. Highlights are currently broken and so are some programmes. 2.2.1 will fix both these issues.
Thanks CaptainT.
I was getting all sorts of weird issues from SD only streams (where there had been HD streams before), to stuttering and cookie errors.
2.2.1 fixed everything (so far).

Perhaps changes to the Favourites (now 'Added' in 'My Programmes') on the BBC web site have finally caught up with this add-on. I'm getting errors whenever I try to access my Favourites. Log in seems to work fine -- only the URL scrape seems to fail. I can see/play any content, just the personal programme listing fails.

Thanks a lot for this problem report. As I rarely use this feature, I was unaware of the change on the website. 2.3.1 will fix this problem and has already been submitted to the official repo.
A similar problem also exists for Radio Favourites/Added, which currently just comes up empty. I have created an
issue on GitHub for this problem. It will be addressed in a future release.

I'm happy to do my part and I'm even happier when you are so prompt with a reply and a fix

Thanks to primaeval's quick response this problem will be fixed in 2.3.2, which is on it's way already.
This addon works great for live content in glorious HD but does not seem to work for catch-up TV ATM,
where we get "available to play in the UK only" even though all other devices in the house, laptops, iOS works fine on the same
network for both live and catch-up.
This is with iplayer 2.3.2 on Kodi Openelec and Libreelec, all builds we have tried so far.
Anyone else seeing this? Thanx...

Just tried catch-up and working fine for me on LibreELEC with iplayerwww 2.3.2
Note: I have option to always select stream level to playback, have you tried this method to see if some of available streams play for a given catch-up item, if/when others dont?

Assuming that you are in the UK and add-on just thinks it is not in the UK, I would guess that this particular box uses different DNS-settings or possibly a proxy of some sorts. We had a similar case long time ago with another user. He had played with the DNS settings to stop his Amazon Firestick from auto-updating. Unfortunately, he also blocked servers which are used by the add-on, so he always got the message that he was not in the UK.
