(trying to play Cbeebies content..)
Had the same problem....updated xbmc, updated plugin and changed stream to h.264(800kb) in the plugin settings and its working again nicely.
A big thanks to all those that have kept up the development of this plugin!!

any ideas.?
This is probably due to your PC not being able to keep up with decoding the HD video. If you are using Linux I would suggest trying VDPAU and checking out the the following forum for more info

I suspect it is the latest version of the plugin which is doing the trick here. It has been modified to better process the xml file which lists the available streams. This was effecting BBC HD programmes but it seems also some programmes listed on other channels.

Can you guys give the latest version of the plugin a go. It is better able to process the media stream xml file.

Ok, I think I've got to the bottom of the problem. It appears some programmes broadcast on BBC HD are using the BBC HD listing on other channels as well. This wouldn't be an issue except that only a couple of usable streams are listed a 720p one and a Flash Wii stream. This caused a problem as the plugin had assumed that every programme had a H.264 800 stream it could fallback onto.
I've "solved" the problem by extending the video stream selection fallback mechanism to include the Flash Wii stream. It works but is a bit blocky. I can't fallback onto the 720p stream as many devices can't render this correctly.
A version of the plugin with this fix is available at
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-iplayerv2/ . If no one reports a problem I will put it up on SVN tomorrow.

Seems I still cant get this to work on my xbox version of the XBMC. It just doesnt come up with any error message or video? Cant do pre-recorded or live. Have updated both iplayer plugin and with the latest release of xbmc. Still no joy - any help?

Just tried manually downloading the iplayer plugin and manual install over ftp. Now it tries to load the video, but comes up with an error message a few mins later:
Error
Playlist playback aborted
Too many consecutive failed items
[OK]
So would love iPlayer to work on my xbox as I dont have any decent TV!
Hi there,
I've been working on adding proxy support to iplayerv2.
I have a UK proxy setup and can view iplayer on my pc very well but unfortunately it doesn't work with iplayerv2.
Running some tests, I've found that plugins don't seem to use the same internet connection handling as XBMC itself. This means that whatever you set your proxy settings to in XBMC, it still isn't going to work.
I know the party line of "this is UK only" but a lot of people have requested it and I'd like it so I thought I'd try and help.
I have added some httplib2 proxy code around the creation of the HTTP class in iplayerv2.py but it doesn't seem to work properly.
Here is the code:
http = httplib2.Http(proxy_info = httplib2.ProxyInfo(3, '<MYPROXYIP>', <PORTNUM>, None, '<MYPROXYUSERNAME>', '<MYPROXYPASS>'))
At the moment I am hardcoding the proxy values but it could be easily put into the settings page.
Any help on how iplayerv2 communicates with the outside world would be great.
Does the code Player.play(url) use the same HTTP connection as above or does it connect on it's own accord? If so is there proxy support there?
Thanks in advance
Richard

Probably worth a try installing the plugin via SVN in case there was an install issue. See
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=29911
If this doesn't work I will need to have a look at the xbmc.log . You can upload the file to a site such as
http://pastebin.com/ .

Is this still the case on the xbox running latest stable build of XBMC.
I downloaded the recent updateed script which fixed the catch up episodes, radio streaming works great.
THis is a brilliant script I use it every day would love to get the tv streams working.

If you grab and install the r22528 build from
http://sshcs.com/xbmc/ live tv streams should start working as this contains motd2k's patches. Also pause and skip will now work on catchup streams.
Cheers
Dink
Many thanks !

Looks like we are going another night with no builds. The builds I "could" post are really really scary and I would be doing a dis-service to you the end users by releasing them. We will be trying again tonight.
Dont seem to be able to download it at the moment will try back there tommorow ? Should this fix the live streaming of TV ?
Many Thanks
cheers its working now, will try it on a spare box.
