Hi all, first post - big thanks to the main contributors of this addon, it has been a lifesaver here in Canada. I too am coming in as an unblock-us user, and appreciate your support is limited to those of us outside the UK but will provide a log regardless.
Mine too sort of quit on me about a week ago, but here is some more context: I've always had the stream set at H.264 (800kb). Upon it not working any more I fiddled with the settings to no avail, other than setting the stream back to Auto. When on Auto, it does in fact play - but between here and the UK there is a breakdown in the connection and I can't sustain the high quality it tries to provide me, just constantly buffers - which is why I have been using H.264 (800kb) for ages.
My log is at http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=216406
I don't know if this is the same issue as some other unblock-us users have recently commented on, as I'm not 100% blocked out - I just can't seem to select streams any more.
I've tried reading the log, and I see it going through some selection process on the stream. Is there a specific mediaselector URL that I can be opening that correlates to the lower bitrate streams, that might give me more insight as to why selecting those in the options doesn't work anymore?
I see the activity here:
04:18:59 T:2891991872 NOTICE: plugin.video.iplayer: Video stream prefs 2 - h264 820
04:18:59 T:2891991872 NOTICE: plugin.video.iplayer: Stream XML URL: http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector...m/b045cgsn
I can access that URL fine, the only thing I take away from it is there isn't an 800kb bitrate listed in there, the closes is <media bitrate="796" .......>. That's not the problem is it?
edit: I'm using 2.5.9 on an Apple tv1 w/OpenELEC
Cheers,
Jason
