Anyone have the playback, just stop randomly? It's like it was ages ago where the video would play for a bit then just stop.

Not sure if the BBC site has changed something, as it was working about 2/3 weeks ago.

Revo, windows 7 & XBMC 10.1

Seeing the same on my installation. Windows 7, XBMC 10.1

I
iplayer2 plugin was working fine on XBMC Dharma on top of Ubuntu 10.10. Applied some Ubuntu patches over the weekend on the R3700 and iplayer2 plugin stopped working ('no module named addoncompat').

did you upgrade xbmc to git version?

I can fix this, just need some spare mins, but I was hoping they would finalise the "instructions" for me so I don't have to change things twice

XBMC version taken from XBMC:

XBMC PRE-11.0 Git:Unknown (Compiled : Apr 14 2011)


As far as I can remember (age is a terrible thing), I just downloaded XBMC from the Ubuntu Software Centre:

XBMC Media Center (arch-independent data package)
2:11.0-pvr+odk22~git20110415.248d3f1-0ubuntu1~ppa+odk22~maverick (xbmc)

Add-ons: Qt3 bindings for Python

XBMC Media Center (binary data package)
2:11.0-pvr+odk22~git20110415.248d3f1-0ubuntu1~ppa+odk22~maverick (xbmc-bin)


As I said, I'm new to Ubuntu & XBMC, but it looks like the Ubuntu Software Centre may be referencing a development Git build of XBMC, rather than a stable load.

I can do without iPlayer for a while, so I'll probably just wait for you to update the plug-in, once things become more stable, or I might try reverting to an earlier (stable) load of XBMC.

On a related point, is there any particular reason the iPlayerv2 plug-in has to be installed by hand (easy enough), rather than accessing it under the "Get More..." section of XBMC.

Thanks for your help and support on this, it is much appreciated.

I've not yet submitted it for inclusion in the official repos, but hitcher kindly maintains it on his, so if you add his repository you can then keep it up to date automatically.

[Hitcher]

See below.

[exobuzz]

v2.4.9 is released. Main change is compatibility with latest git builds. tested on xbmc4xbox, xbmc dharma 10.0, and a git build from a few days ago.

2.4.9

* compatibility with xbmc git releases post internal python removal - getcwd no
longer returns the path of the running script
* removed addon compatibility code for xbmc4xbox (no longer needed since we
have an addon compatibility module shipped with xbmc4xbox)
* misc clean-ups

download from http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-iplayerv2/downloads/list or wait until hitcher has updated his repo.

[Hitcher]

Done, cheers exobuzz.

Works great, thanks

Nothing I can do about this. I send the url to xbmc to play (using librtmp to talk to the server). this could be a networking issue, or something else. perhaps try another stream provider.

Debug log please.

Hi,

Sorry, I should have posted this along with my original message. I think the bit below is the relevant part. let me know if there is more you need:

the whole log please, via pastebin or similar. I cant see specific information regarding your version/platform and so on, plus other info I might need.

Hey,

Got pretty excited about this addon earlier today when I saw it existed! Installed it successfully on my Apple TV 2 running XBMC but had no luck in actually streaming anything. I'm obviously based in the UK, but when I clicked TV > Popular and selected a Doctor who episode it started to load, but then always quit within about 2 seconds of playing. Sometimes the video started streaming, sometimes it just didn't load at all. The same thing happened on every video I tried.

I played around a lot with the settings as well, but that didn't help. Nothing seemed to make it better. Also had a go at streaming some of the live tv, but when I clicked a channel nothing seemed to happen. Is this feature implemented yet?

Anyway, created a debug log file like you asked . Hope it helps you get to the bottom of this as it would be an amazing feature to have. Just in case you're wondering, I've replaced some passwords with *HIDDEN*. It can be found here:

Thanks!
