From your problem description it seems that Kodi plays the first segment of the stream, but then stops retrieving the stream for whatever reason. In any case: whatever happens after a video starts to play is out of control of the add-on. It is purely Kodi handling the playlist.
Thanks for the reply. I'll wait and see if this is fixed via Jarvis when it goes final. Thanks for the prompt response @CaptainT

following up - has anyone had any success getting this to work on the nexus player?

Does the iplayer apk work for you? There is a thread about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/...v-t2961150

I haven't got the apks but I thought the Nexus Player was just an Android device in disguise. You can back up apks from another Android and sideload them onto the Nexus. You need the BBC Media Player apk as well as the iplayer apk. App Backup & Restore is the easiest way I know: https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...ckup&hl=en

If the apks work then there is something strange about the Nexus with regards to Kodi and the iplayerwww addon.

I think the play store may restrict some applications by geography, but you might try here (if the nexus player allows side-loading apk files) ... http://www.apkmirror.com/?s=BBC&post_type=app_release

@mentat - thanks - no go on the nexus player unfortunately. cannot navigate

@bry- Are you sure this is not a Smart DNS issue? I see one of your earlier posts mentions unotelly. This addon is only intended to work in the UK.

**bry** · 2016-02-24, 12:50

@primaeval not a smart DNS issue. It work on all other devices on the network.

Is there anything different about the Nexus Player than the devices that work on your network: Kodi version, network settings? Do other Android devices work with Kodi for you? The only thing left is that Google somehow crippled the iplayer streams on the Nexus Player due to some licensing issue. Maybe the hardware codecs don't support it.

primaeval · 2016-02-24, 13:57

@bry- I didn't realise the Nexus Player was Intel Atom based. I can't find the details of the hardware codecs but I could imagine the CPU doesn't have the power to decode the iplayer streams without hardware acceleration, which might not have been included.

@bry- Someone using the same chip as the Nexus Player (Z3560) says "My unit failed to run BBC iPlayer Radio entirely so it definitely did not run standard Android apps." http://www.amazon.co.uk/does-it-run-bbc-...ort=oldest

**bry** · 2016-02-24, 15:03

@primaeval - thanks for trying to help. seems the apk for the shield requires a shield controller. I may just dump the nexus player and switch to an RPI if I can't get this figured out soon.

That might be misleading. The Atom Z3560 should be powerful enough to play most streams, if not all. There has got to be some other issue.

Do I understand you correctly that you installed a Kodi apk designed for Nvidia Shield on Google Nexus Player?

If so, why didn't you follow these instructions to install Kodi for Android?

Apologies, if I am completely missing the point here.

I split the thread because I am no longer attempting to use the add-on you have created which works perfectly on all other non android devices.

Do you have access to a nexus player? maybe I can toss some $ your direction to put towards a nexus player

Ok, I missed that bit. Two remarks on that:

If you try to use the official APK designed for Shield on Nexus, this has to fail. As far as I know, there are differnt APKs depending on the platform. Shield is ARM-based, Nexus is Wintel-based.
I still believe your issues with the add-on on Nexus are unrelated to the add-on, but some kind of bug in Kodi or more specifically in ffmpeg for that platform. Have you tried the latest release from the Play Store or from the Kodi website?

Sorry, I got no Nexus player and I don't think I would be able to be of much help anyways as I believe the issue is not related to the add-on.
