I'm pretty sure that is the https warning error on Jarvis from my experience.

It shouldn't be. This message is caused by the server refusing to provide data. If there is a problem connecting, you will get error messages from the client (Kodi). So I am absolutely sure this error has got nothing to do with Jarvis. Plus, the user reported to be on Krypton.

[CaptainT]

I'm still getting the same error as reported above. Any idea when 2.5.13 will be available for us to download please?

Which version are you on at the moment? 2.5.12 or 2.5.13~alpha?

It may take a couple of days till 2.5.13. primaeval has brought up an interesting alternative to address this issue, but I would like to test that myself and most likely won't get to that during the weekend.

I tried primaeval's suggestion, but it does not work at all on my Android box running Jarvis. This path is certainly worth further investigation as I assume that HTTP streams will soon be obsoleted completely. Once that happens, just skipping HTTPS streams will mean no more streams available.

As a temporary fix, I decided to still release 2.5.13 with the new setting to suppress HTTPS streams only. This will hit the official repo within the next hour or so.

Unfortunately I'm not very technically minded so it is a struggle for me to find my way around these things. I have a "crappy old MXQ box" lol - and it gives me two choices when I choose to update the iPlayer - either Version 2.5.12 Kodi Add-on repository, or Version 2.5.12 Local package cache. I've tried both and get the same error on both.

iplayer stopped working on my libreelec 8.0.1 raspberry pi (kodi 17.1) and my 18alpha atom box today, the 2.5.13alpha fixes it.

however on ubuntu kodi-inputstream-adaptive simply doesn't work - installed it but iplayer will not update to 3.0.5 due to some 1.0.6 dependency error, even though 1.0.6 is installed

also found that "install from zip" doesn't work on 18a - no file browse window pops up!

Try using the 2.5.13 alpha version CaptainT posted earlier until his update hits the repo. It should be ok on your MXQ. You might need to just select Akamai in the Catchup settings.

I love squeezing as much out of crappy hardware as I can.
My kids are still using an rpi version 1 for CBeebies/CBBC and don't feel the need to upgrade.
I have made a little utility that gets rid of all the skin animations to make it feel a bit more snappy.

Kodi 17.1 and 18 should not be affected by the problem 2.5.13 is meant to fix. You must be having some other issues with HTTPS streams.

Can you provide some more details on the errors you get, please?

If inpustream.adaptive is installed, it may not be activated. This will also lead to a failed install of 3.0.5.

[stammie]

Just to let CaptainT know, on my Windows 10 (creators update) box using Kodi 17.1 everything I've tried today with version 3.0.5 has worked flawlessly either on catchup or on demand with Dash or HLS set in the settings.
Its probably only a dozen things I've tried so far but all is good on this machine
Thank you so much for your hard work

EDIT:
Yesterday nothing worked and I had to fall back to my Now TV box for my Iplayer use

found how to enable inputstream.adaptive, it said an unknown error occurred but it managed to enable it anyway (same as rtmp) and i've updated to iplayer-www 3.0.5 now, which fails to play anything in dash mode (no error, it just does nothing when you hit play) but seems to work in HLS mode, seems a shame as isn't HLS inferior to mpeg-dash? note that none of the tv i tried was live.

not sure if libreelec offers the same options (can you even install inputstream.adaptive with the kodi ppa?) will seem tomorrow.

I am pretty sure HLS and DASH use the same video source. They are just different transport mechanisms.
The streams I tested have the same codec information in vlc 3.0.0.

The reason DASH should be better is that if all goes well it should adapt to your connection and drop the resolution when the network bandwidth is limited.

If your connection is stable enough to watch the highest resolution HLS stream without dropouts then you are not losing anything by not using DASH.

The annoying thing is that the code that starts HLS streams quickly in Jarvis 16.1 was deliberately taken out of Krypton 17.1.
There might be a fix in Leia or later if you are lucky. This is why I am sticking to Jarvis as long as possible.

Please check if you are on the latest version (2.5.13 or 3.0.5) of the addon. They should fix this problem which was caused by changes to the website. If you already use the latest version, it is likely you get a different version of the website. The Beeb sometimes does that to selected users when trying out new designs.

[AppleCrumble]

Thanks for speedy response.

Not sure how I retrieve the version.
But in .kodi/addons/packages the highest version I can see is "plugin.video.iplayerwww-2.5.6.zip"
I thought this would auto-update.since under system - addons I have "install updates automatically"
I can probably eventually figure out how to get and install the update, but could you point me in
the right direction?

Thanks

If you use the official Kodi repo, it should automatically update, I don't know why it doesn't work for you. Have you simply tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling from the official repo?

i installed iplayer-www 3.0.5 in libreelec 8.0.1 today (for some reason the previous version had been removed/disabled?) and found that DASH was much better quality and smoothness, HLS even at 2.4mbps was not smooth on a 12mbps adsl link.

for some reason my kodi 18a box will only play HLS streams, but then that has a 74mbps fibre so seems ok on top res.
