Live TV is also not working for me, running OpenELEC 5.0.0 (Kodi 14.0) on a Pi with iPlayer 2.6.10.
I suspect that this is because I live outside the UK and using SmartDNS.
It looks like SmartDNS is not masking my address correctly for one of the URLs called when starting the live viewing.
I actually worked out it was a call to "vs-hds-uk-live.edgesuite.net" that was not being masked and opened a ticket with SmartDNS.
This is perhaps too much of an edge case as a result of the way that the iPlayer plugin for Kodi works and no one else is complaining about it so the SmartDNS folks have not done anything about it.
I can still watch live BBC using my laptop via SmartDNS so it works in that case.
In the meantime, I can live with live TV from FilmOn.
The problem that pains me more is that since about two weeks, I cannot access BBC radio programmes on-demand.
The programme listings are largely empty with just some old, old programs but nothing current.
E.g. if I go to Radio 6 Music, I only get eight programs listed but nothing "current".
I tried disabling the caches on the iPlayer to no avail.
I have to use the laptop for this again.
Are others seeing this behaviour or is it just me or SmartDNS again?!
Just to underline what others have said: I am eternally grateful for the great work folks have done on providing this software. Thanks!!
