BTW - Thank you for putting the effort into what is shaping up to be a fine plugin, I know how much of pain in the ass it can be to test and bug fix!

@DarkGUNMAN,
this is caused by a non yet 100% finished patch that was submitted and included in the SVN.
A Later patch no longer has this issue but is not yet included in the SVN and therefore not yet in the latest T3ch Release.
We have to wait for T3ch to release another one manually adding the patch or for the XBMC Team including the Patch in the Standard SVN built and then someone (T3ch) releasing another Version for us on the Xbox

Not sure which patch this is as far as I can tell from Trac the patch from frosty was incorporated into the trunk in http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/15561I've checked and its still there in revision 15640 which is the t3ch build mentioned so I think this >should< be working.
Is there another incomming patch you are aware of thats not mentioned in the trac entry http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4498

200809241537 lists zero programmes for each channel I tried, this is in both Plex and XBMC Atlantis for Mac.
The older version still lists programmes but gets stuck trying to play them.

Oh whoops... try going to the plugin settings and changing video stream type from 'Auto' to 'Flash VP6' (or 'Flash Medium' if I forgot to rename it)
Let me know if that works. Also, please remember to post xbmc.log's when something doesn't work!

Assuming the correct place for settings is
~/plugins/video/iplayer/resources/settings.xml
then that file suggests you are still using "Flash Medium" and I tried changing the default to that from Auto. Unfortunately it made no difference. This is what I got in the Plex/XBMC log...

settings.xml is where the plugin settings UI stuff is set and so you shouldn't edit that file. The settings used on your system will be specified in a file in the UserData folder.
Also, have you got system debug logging on? That log looks ridiculously mute and should have a lot more in there. The entire log would be appreciated - plonk it on http://www.pastebin.com

The only file in UserData that looks at all relevant is sources.xml there is no iPlayer related file that I can find in UserData. Yes I had debug turned on which is why some of the entries I included had the word debug in them. I only snipped the most relevant section, it was suggesting it could not contact the intended host.
I had a look in sources.xml and the only relevant entry was a path for the 'source' which is your plugin. If as it appears, the correct settings file has not been created, this sound a similar issue which resulted in your iplayer.log not existing either.

Hmm, you should be looking for a file like this:
/userdata/plugin_data/video/iplayer/settings.xml
Alternatively, it may be
/plugins/video/iplayer-settings.xml
And change the 'videostream' value to '2'.

It's useful to see the entire debug as earlier warnings or information may provide insight for the later errors.

If you have mouse enabled you can go Video-Browse-Video Plugins and then right click on the plugin then select Plugin Settings to change the settings.
When I do this and set it to VP6 i get a program list download and preview pictures, but I cant play anything. It just hangs
What log files should I be posting?

Go to XBMC system settings, click 'enable debug logging'.
Then restart XBMC, run the plugin again, let it not work (close XBMC at this point if you want), and then find xbmc.log (it's in your XBMC directory usually), upload to pastebin.com, and link it here.

The file did not exist in either location. However after using the tip suggested by ijhammo a file was created. After doing this the plugin then said it was retrieving 1 of 47 (for BBC Three) but after it had supposedly got the list it did not display any programmes at all in fact it seems to give up just before retrieving the last.
Update, just tried BBC Parliament which I suspected would have the fewest programmes (only 17) and this successfully produced a list. In each case this was doing 'list all'. I just tried BBC Three again this time selecting 'list popular' which successfully produced a list of 10 results.
Clearly, this version of the plug-in cannot cope with longer lists.
Just for a laugh I then tried playing one and was not amazed when it got stuck again.
Here is the log from the point I turned on debug mode, to the point it allegedly downloaded the list all for BBC Three and failed to display them.
http://pastebin.com/m63a4de47
I did not see any point doing a log capture for the failing to play a programme since we all are familiar with 0x16 errors by now.

Thanks for the log. Looks like an issue with the library when a stream cannot be found for a particular program. Will check it out tonight.

The problem looks like was the BBC site throwing back errors after a large number of requests. This is now handled in the SVN version (such programmes are just ignored).
So please try this one!
