OK - here goes.

I've built a script based on K-S-V's "AdobeHDS.php" for stream recorder that kicks-off a download to disk of the Olympics channel, and then plays it via XBMC. I've asked and asked and asked on XBMC forum if there is anyway to pipe the output from one program direct into DVDPlayer, but no answer.

So, the only way that I can think of doing this is to write to a file, and then have XBMC read it after a suitable gap (default is 10 seconds).

The plugin is here http://code.google.com/p/bbcsports-addon...ip&can=2&q=

So, install, setup your proxy, your stream quality (start LOW and work up - if the playing overtakes the downloading, the player will fail), set up a directory that has plenty of GIGs free to act as a temporary staging post for the flv file, and give it a whirl.

Adobe HDS uses HTTP, so don't expect to be able to get anything over about 800kbit/s quality if you're through a proxy. I have tested it in Windows and Linux from outside the UK.

This has been a real pain to put together - porting the Adobe HDS from PHP to Python took an age.

I can't find any information that gives me a programme schedule to scrape for the 24 channels - I'm in Vancouver for this week on business, so unlikely to find ANY time to support/adapt/fault-find this plugin. Code is open; feel free to contribute/fix/adapt.

Do you think you could adapt your addon to do the live channels of iPlayer?

KSV's AdobeHDS.php script will work for all of them even outside of the US by simply making this mod to the script:

And putting in the X-Forwarded-From IP https://tunlr.net/forums/topic/how-to-bb...ing-tunlr/

I have tested it US and it has never failed once.

From my understanding of how you wrote your addon, it should be as simply as fetching URLs from iPlayer vs Olympics.

EDIT: I have just proven it to be 100% possible by simply editing your default.py:

addDir("BBC Olympics Channel 1","http://zaphod-live.bbc.co.uk.edgesuite.net/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/bbc1/bbc1_1500" + ".f4m",3,thumb_dir + '/channel_1.png')

with the addition of having TinyProxy sending the X-Forwarded-To immediately played the channel.
