It's pretty obvious what's going on. If the site can't identify your location, it prompts you for a postal code. IF you provide a code, it works. End of Story.
Nobody is, or has any right to, demand that you address this. There is no point being in denial about it, though.

So the plot thickens.
In the UK, the ITV app works fine for ITV Player, live ITV1, live ITV4. Outside the UK, with an HTTP Proxy, things break unless you work around the ITV geo-locking the On Demand streams. But ITV1 and ITV4 still work.
But something else came up. I noticed that rtmpdump is not able to do a SWFVfy on an HTTPS hosted swf player. If you are in the UK, that doesn't seem to matter - the stream works. But outside the UK, that breaks the player.
So, I changed the app. And now, outside the UK with a proxy, all works without having to work around the geolock.
But the LIVE streams have stopped working...... GROAN.

I think I sent you an email about all this but I was completely ignored.

@dlake2. Cheers for all the work you've put in to this addon. I do, however, have a question or two..
Who is the owner/author/responsible for this addon? You or mikey1234? The reason I ask is that you have version 2.04 on your Google Project page, released under GNU GPL v3; mikey has the ad-supported version 2.09 on his repo, released under CC BY-NC-ND 3.0.
So, is this now a bizarre situation where you're breaching the no derivatives licence by continuing to work on code you wrote much/most of in the first place? Or is mikey in breach of your GPL licence by changing the licensing for his version?

I have to say been using a private uk http proxy and never experienced the problems as above.... Perhaps it targets known commercial ip's ?

dlake I noticed mikeys version has been updated to fix the 1 episode error. Is it possible to integrate this into this version ?

Are we to assume this addon is now abandoned and Mikey's AD riddled version is the only version being updated ?

From what was said in post 158, it looks like Mikey's version is the only one and is being updated by both devs.

Both myself (dlake02) and Mikey are looking at the ITV plugin.
I'm looking to release a version some time next week - I have all four ITV channels live, but it's very flaky, and I can't work out why (it could be my location) which has cause some head-scratching here.
