I have the same issue- streams on both iPlayer and ITV Player run for a second before kicking me back to the menu.

El Bandit: do you have xbmc configured to show projgramme info before playing ? if so, try it without that.
I need to see debug logs to help further.

In the add on settings you can select the "stream" which can be either akamai, limelight, level 3 etc

Hi Exobuzz
First, THANK YOU for this superb plugin. Living as an expat in the US where TV is unbelievably awful, access to the Beeb is the only thing keeping me sane !
Second; I've got a couple of suggestions to make the plugin more user friendly:
I've found it quite difficult to work out which episode is which by date as the plugin sorts by name rather than the aired date. So I've made some changes:
- In "def list_feed_listings" after "programmes = sort_by_attr(programmes, 'title')" add:
programmes = sort_by_attr(programmes, 'updated')
Also change "xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(handle=__plugin_handle__, sortMethod=xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_LABEL)" to
xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(handle=__plugin_handle__, sortMethod=xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_NONE)
- In "def add_programme" after "date=datestr" add:
date2=datestr[:4] + '-' + datestr[5:7] + '-' + datestr[8:10]
- In "def add_prgramme" at top, add:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.SetViewMode(504)')
- In the following "listitem.setInfo" add:
'Premiered' : date2,
'Episode' : tracknumber + 1
The effect of these changes is to sort the programmes by aired date, put the programme view mode into "Mode Info" and fill-in the "Aired" and "Episode" labels. Now when you scroll through the programmes you see them in the date broadcast order and this information shows on the right-hand side.
Cheers !

Just playing with this and the episodes are all over the place. It looks like I will need to do the sort by programme ID, not aired date... Time to play.

Well, that was a little easier than I feared:
CHANGE:
programmes = sort_by_attr(programmes, 'updated')
TO:
programmes = sort_by_attr(programmes, 'pid')
Now all your programmes will be sorted correctly....
