Existing installations will auto-update. Please still remove it and then reinstall it.

The reason is simple: The zip-files from Github install to a subfolder called plugin.video.iplayerwww-master. However, the add-on expects to be installed in a directory called plugin.video.iplayerwww. This can cause errors like the first part mentioned in post 138.

Once it has been installed correctly, new releases will be automatically provided through the official repo.

Is it only in the Helix repo? Not Isengard?

(New user - be kind) Been using OSMC with this plugin from zip file since late Aug. UK user, Virgin Media. Running on a RasPi-B. Kids reported their 'TV' no longer working a few days ago.
So today I followed the instructions above. Uninstalled the plugin. Reinstalled 1.2.2. Still see error like in post 138.
Tried again. Uninstalled. Deleted any sign of the files via a remote mount. Rebooted. Told it to go to the standard Kodi addons repository, browsed and found "iPlayer WWW", told it to download (1.2.2 again) and launch. Still same errors - can get either live TV or catchup. Decided to create an account and post here... suggestions?
Thanks,
Kev

Yes, helix. Isengard also accepts add-ons from the Helix repo, but not vice versa. So it makes more sense to add it to Helix. It reaches more users this way.

Thanks for reporting. I stand corrected, this is a problem in the add-on and it needs to get fixed.

As a workaround, please create the directory "plugin.video.iplayerwww" in your .kodi/userdata/addon_data directory. In your case, the full path is /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/addon_data.

Glad to finally have this great add-on in the official repo.

Just did the remove and replace swap-around, and see you've added BBC ID log-in now. I just tried it, and it's not accepting my (confirmed) username and password for my ID. Set it up in the settings page, and when I go to the Favourites menu item (for example) it asks me if I want to log in. If I select yes it says log-in successful, and then immediately afterwards log-in failed - check settings.

The add-on itself looks to be working ok, just that oddity that I thought I should report.

If you need a debug log or anything, just let me know.

kpalf · 2015-10-19, 21:01

CaptainT,
Thanks for the fast response. Creating the folder worked and I can confirm that both Live and catchup now work.
Thanks again

Ah OK. It's just I couldn't find it when I looked in video add-ons. I'll check again tomorrow. Smile

Congratulations on getting in the official repo. Unfortunately this version does not work for me for live feeds so I reverted back to rc4. The error is could not establish a cookie. I can provide a log if you like.

There is an issue with the profile directory not being created or existing, see earlier threads about creating directory. Another work around for this is to go into add on settings and save settings - this should create the required directory.

Got it working with the folder workaround and it is working very well. Great work. Well done for getting in the repo too,

That did it! Thank you.

@CaptainT unfortunately I can no longer export to PseudoTV Live in the latest version.

There are some fixes for the BBCiD in the pipeline already. I hope to get a new release ready tonight so that it can be pulled to the official repo tomorrow or so. If the problem persists then, please get back to me.

Which was the last version that worked for you?

I have a guess why this may no longer work, but in that case it shouldn't have worked in the first place. Angel

Are you referring to the Channels->BBC One/Two/Three/Whatever menu on the top?

If so, that does not sort programmes by channel. It only gives you a selection of about 30-40 highlights from this particular channel. This page certainly can be added, but it is basically just a special "Highlights per channel" category.

If you are referring to something else, please try to explain in more detail, maybe there is something that I am missing.

Yes, this was all I meant.
I would like these categories as this is most of what we watch anyway. Finding the things to watch in the long lists means my wife often just uses the TV BBC IP UI instead of Kodi.

But great work though Smile
