The order of even the TV channels annoys me, so would it be possible for the user to specify the channel order with TV radio dividers?

Great work, though! Keep it up

[johnsto]

Ta for the feedback everyone, glad radio is working finally!

Something I'll probably do is plonk the TV and Radio feeds into their own folders rather than separate them with a divider.

Also aware of the issue of ordering (it irritates me too), but not been able to solve it yet. Spose I could just append numbers to the start of each entry... but that could end up a bit messy looking. Need to experiment a bit more

Also not sure about the Library thing, or how to resolve that.

Is it possible radio could buffer the amount set for music in XBMC settings? For me audio is set to buffer 256kb, and video 4096kb.

Also, the sound on some(?) radio channels stutters for me. Just tested the current Chris Moyles (stutters) and Fearne & Reggie (fine)

I have installed this plugin as per the instructions (I'm very excited about the prospect of this working by the way) and havebrowsed through, selected a channel, say bbc, selected all, waited whilst loading directory (it sits of retreived 0 items) and then I am ledt with no programmes, just able to return to the list of channels again.

I have looked in the log and it seems to be finding programms, just not giving me a list of them in xbmc. Sample from the end of the log is:

I'll need you to post your entire xbmc.log (with debugging mode turned on) to help you with this.

Apparently, "WindowsError: [Errno 122] The data area passed to a system call is too small" is the source of all your problems.

I'm not sure what it means, or rather, how to fix it... but I'll have a look.

In the meanwhile, you might want to try turning off thumbnails. You can do this within the Plugin Settings.

[C-Quel]

Yup disabling thumbnails fixed it

[johnsto]

Well, it's a workaround for now until I find out how to fix it properly. Ideally you'll have thumbnails like everybody else

I'm not sure what the cause of the problem is, but I experienced the same error recently when working with thumbnails on another plugin.

I fixed it by putting str() around programme.pid in line 44 like so:
thumbfn = "%s.jpg" % str(programme.pid)

I'm not sure why this fixes it, %s should be converting the unicode to a string, but it works.

EDIT: Reported the issue on trac here

Hi, thanks for the inclusion of radio stations - love it!

Agree with the suggestion that it'd be great to have them split up - perhaps music and TV and then drill down into each?

I've been having a few problems with the tv (radio works fine). It might be that I'm streaming via wireless but I'm getting regular periods when the video I'm streaming will pause (varying from a couple of seconds to a few minutes).

Any ideas how to sort this?

Thanks,

[johnsto]

Just split TV and Radio off into separate folders, also a fix for the aforementioned windows thumbnail/unicode issue reported by C-Quel (remember to turn thumbnails back on to test it!)

Hi there,

Is this supposed to be stable on the PC (Windows version of XBMC)?...because IIRC, this was first built when XBMC was for XBOX only.

I have tried it and it appeared to work ok but when you get a list of programs it shows their streamingid (i assume eg. "b00124....") instead of the program name/episode title.

Also, which BBC feed does this work from? The iPhone feed?

Thanks.

EDIT: reading your reply above, I assume it is supposed to be stable for windows.

The plugin should work on all current XBMC releases on all platforms, and it uses the the Flash VP6 and Flash Wii streams from the iPlayer website.

You should not use the plugin in library mode, as doing so will give oddly-named titles, as you've discovered already
