I'm hoping to get iPlayer on XBMC - with proper streaming - some day
Thanks for putting in the hard graft to get these things working Johnsto.
Any word on *what* precisely they changed? (presumably iphone can still access it?)
Also perhaps we could switch to using the wii version? Or the ps3 proxy site I posted up the link for earlier if that hole hasn't been plugged?
I think with them opening up the iplayer to streaming on other devices there is hope for XBMC too. Probably the best, and easiest solution, will occur when the curl scripts for the protocol used in the desktop are integrated into mplayer. Then we'd be able to use the desktop version....
We can but dream eh?
I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later. Mplayer is always under active development. Perhaps we should all make a point of posting over on their mailing lists requesting help?
Anyway - thanks again Johnsto - It's been a hell of a ride.
