I've had the iPlayer WWW addon installed on a raspberry pi for a while now. Running kodi 17.3, recentish box.

Everything's been working fine till last night, when nothing would play. I'm getting "name or service not known" errors, and as far as I can make out the url its trying to retrieve for the episodes is "http://www.bbc.co.ukhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/blah.blah/blah" The doubling up of protocol and hostname would seem to be the problem.

I'm guessing the BBC has changed from using relative to absolute urls?

I've not done any software updates recently, and I don't see one available.

Any advice?

Cheers,
Graham

This should be fixed in 3.0.13. if you already use 3.0.13, they probably changed some other places as well. Please provide one or two programmes that fail for you in this case.

That'll be the problem, then - I'm still on 3.0.12. However, I'm not seeing a newer version in the Kodi repo. Is there a "better" repository I should be using for this addon?

Thanks for the quick response!

It should be on the official repo already. Try refreshing it manually, perhaps that'll work. If all else fails, get it from GitHub (see first post).

3.0.13 is in my Kodi repository and updated automatically on the 24/07

Realised there was something wrong with the update date being 24/07 in the recent update list, as the update was only posted last night.

Checked addon and it stated update was on the 27/07.

Don't know why there's a difference, maybe a kodi issue.

[Buserian]

Finally managed to get the update to install. No idea why it wasn't showing up in the repo, but working now, so that's the main thing.

I will take the opportunity to say thank you for this addon. One of the most useful tools on Kodi.

Cheers,
Graham

This can happen if no streams were found in the mediaselector. Are you sure you are in the UK? If so, does this happen for DASH and HLS or only one protocol? If you already have a BBCiD, does it make a difference if you are logged in or not?

In the end, they may be fiddling around with the mediaselector format, I can look at it briefly tonight.

Definitely in UK, stream was set to HLS, I have a BBC logon but do not use it.

When I was getting the iPlayer Error message, connection was taking a while circle going round and the display would flash a couple of times and program did not play.

Just checked again and no longer getting the error message, connection taking longer than it used to with screen flash only once, then program plays.

As you say may be something their end.

That sounds like the https problem. Try turning https off in the Settings.

Having an issue with some episodes in catch-up. I select an episode, it then begins to play but only sound, not video. Also noticed that the time indicator goes to something like 503 minutes out of 60 total. Anyone else seeing anything like this?

Can you give us some specific examples, the Kodi version and the Stream settings.
