maybe Its me but I couldn't find a download from your link

Whoops, fixed it

sorry I didn't notice it was a svn pull down

I'm just off the ball a bit at the moment. Here's the zip:

@johnsto

the end of my log looks like this:

The Stream seems to start and I can see loads of HDD & Lan activity on the Xbox Mod but nothing happens.

Would you need the detailed log being turned on as Box is non responsive after above.

Ok, just managed to commit a fix, please try the latest SVN plugin release:
http://xbmc-iplayer.googlecode.com/svn/t...plugin.zip

That was fast, thank you. I now get the lists of channels and programmes - though as you say 0x16 errors when I try to watch anything.

[marlboroman1]

has any one been able to apply this patch

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4905

if it works it could all come together

[frosty]

In an earlier post I was asking about the 'high quality' streams offered by the real iPlayer. beebhack suggests it's a higher-res H264 stream still delivered over RTMP (rather than the vp6 or spark encodings). I'd love to see this working on XBMC as they have a noticibly better picture quality compared to the rtmp/vp6 streams. However, I haven't managed to connect successfully to play one of these streams - does anyone know more about how these work?

The rtmp/h264 streams come from Level3 instead of Akamai servers. Packet-sniffing iPlayer connecting to a high-quality stream shows a few differences:

• The Akamai server IP is fetched from http://[server]/fcs/ident (returning XML). The Level3 server IP is instead fetched from http://[server]/fcs/ident2 (returning plain text).
  
• The Akamai servers accept a connection to 'app'='ondemand'. The Level3 servers return 'unknown application' for 'ondemand'. iPlayer is using 'app'='bbciplayertok'. This means the URL for a stream should be something like rtmp://[server]:1935/bbciplayertok/...
  
• Akamai servers appear to read the auth value from the 'tcUrl' parameter in the RTMP connect packet. This is working as we send the complete URL we're playing as the value of 'tcUrl'
  For Level3 servers the real iPlayer doesn't send any URL parameters in the 'tcUrl' param of the RTMP connect packet. There does seem to be a couple of extra (unnamed) parameters at the end of the connect packet however, which look like (bool)<true> and (string)<the-auth-value>. I've tried hacking these in to the connect packet sent by XBMC, but got no joy - the server sends an error reply and closes the connection.
  

Edit 2009-03-19 :
This no longer seems to be true. In mediaselecter output such as http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/mti...m/b00ftfmb there are H264 796kbit streams available from Level3 servers, but these now have a long authString such as:
authString="token=c3RhcnRfdGltZT0yMDA5MDMxODExMjIyNCZlbmRfdGltZT0yMDA5MDMxOTExMjIyNCZkaWdlc3Q9MTFmMmY4NWUyMDQ4MTZkYjJlZjY0NDhiMWFlNDlkYWU="
and this does not need to be added to the connect packet to allow playback.

Excellent work Frosty, rtmp is now here for xbmc for xbox.

[marlboroman1]

with the patch applied I get this log on Windows XP SP2 32bit it freezes and stops responding

http://pastebin.com/m10a4767f

Looks like you're running an old version. Try this one:
http://xbmc-iplayer.googlecode.com/svn/t...plugin.zip

[marlboroman1]

i think I was using the latest but i downloaded the one you linked to to make sure and its exhibiting the same behaver at least visually

http://pastebin.com/m103d642e

Err, are you sure you downloaded and installed it correctly? The error is the same (can't find BeautifulSoup.py); the library you're missing would be there if you extracted the plugin to the right location.

I deleted the old plugin and extracted the new one to the same location I checked the install directory for BeautifulSoup.py and BeautifulSoup.pyo are both present
@C:\Program Files\XBMC\plugins\video\xbmc-iplayer-plugin

I wonder why they are not being used

The log says you're still using this one:

C:\Program Files\XBMC\plugins\video\xbmc-iplayer-plugin-200809102132\default.py

You may need to delete the existing source (it's using the script in 'xbmc-iplayer-plugin-200809102132') and then add it again (using the script in 'xbmc-iplayer-plugin')

That is really strange as that revision had been deleted some time ago as had the source. is anything from the script stored in XBMC application data folder

After some unrelated problems with building XBMC with patch included. I did a full fresh install of XBMC and The iplayer plugin work great now on windows. I really hope the patch is added to the xbox svn soon. In the mean time if any one knows how to port it over please share

thanks for all the effort your putting in to make this work

Ok, Tried the current SVN on the current T3CH release 'T3CH XBMC 2008-09-19 SVN rev15640-BETA1'.
The script gets to the point of trying to play the file through DVDplayer, then freezes up as it creates the demuxer.
