This plugin is great, and working on my xbox - sort of.
I am outside the UK. I access iplayer through a paid proxy server which I use on my PC and lets me watch iplayer video content.
I put these proxy details into the network settings section of XBMC, and can listen to radio shows in the iplayer plugin, but TV shows don't work. I get the error saying I should try "playing iplayer in a web browser"
Radio working, but TV not working is consistent with being outside the UK I believe.
My question is, does the iplayer plugin adhere to the proxy settings in the main XBMC config?
(please don't argue about whether or not it's appropriate to use iplayer outside the UK, I am a UK expat and pay my license fee too!)
Thanks to all that have contributed to keep this plugin working of late
If the python http stuff respects the proxy settings it should be ok. Basically, you only need the proxy to get the auth key from the bbc. The actual data streams from akamai/limelight do not need to be proxies for example.
