Not necessarily. If they use the existing BBCiD login, it should work without a problem.

Hopefully. But if they are going after maximum revenue they might use some encryption and ip location protection.

They already use the latter, so that should not be a problem. Encryption might be a bigger issue, but I don't see why they would need it.

Let's face it: There is nothing we can do about this, so we should just sit tight and wait what the future brings. If they try to maximize profits, it is our choice to take our money elsewhere. Life goes on with or without access to iPlayer. It may not be as nice, but it is certainly not the end of the world.

I truly believe that this will solve itself over time. If they overprice the product, people will just not buy it. Back to Freesat and a hard disc recorder. This is not as convenient, but it works. Thus, if the new system is commercially unsuccessful, they will have to reconsider. It might take a decade, but it will happen eventually.

Announcement: I've created a new (UK) TV Listings addon. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=271858

It can launch iplayerwww catchup programs from TV schedules via Meta4Kodi.

It supports other addons too, such as for filmon playback.

The data comes from tvguide.co.uk.

I looked at adding schedule data from the BBC to iplayerwww but it is a nasty mess of json calls. Maybe later.

Am I being really thick? I can't seem to find the radio stations. It's all just TV?

Try looking in the Music section.

Got it. Thanks

It should really be called Audio but it's a historical XBMC artefact I imagine.

While on the subject of Kodi menu, is there a central place to manage favourites?
So far, I have only found additional add-ons that seem do this or one could directly edit favourites.xml, I suppose?

The built-in Favourites in Kodi is pretty limited.
Super Favourites is the most powerful addon to organise your favourites. It can be a bit of beast though.
Many addons have their own favourites handling internally.

Sorry if this has been talked about before, but I tried to search the thread for any information on my problem.

I would like to use this addon from Denmark, by the use of tunlr.com (smartDNS). It works fine with the iplayer in the browser, but the addon fails to play anything, and often also comes up with the info on that it only works in the UK. If it works in the browser, why doesn't it work in the kodi addon?

Code:
