Brilliant work Buzz, et al...
Just mucking about with a Revo I set up for someone else some months ago using a standard Ubuntu 9.10 desktop distro with XBMC added through the repos. I used the get_iplayer web server workaround to get the Dink (and nascent Exobuzz) plugin working at that point - worked perfectly to start with when there was only a bit of swf verification to deal with, then degraded and for a long time so was working partially (guess related to the Akamai and Limelight network support), but it looks like that's now finally stopped working altogether.
So I need to know what to do to get this working again for this Ubuntu Linux set-up. Obviously I need the latest Buzz Iplayer (got it for XBOX works brilliantly), but I also need an librtmp re-worked XBMC for linux.
@buzz, I've seen that you have various debs on your web site, but there are 20 or more downloads in the linux directory. Saw your response to a similar question in post #693, but I wasn't sure about your answer.
I'm hoping I only need this one (the first one in the list):
xbmc-bin_9.11+svn28256-lucid2_i386.deb 14-May-2010 13:33 15524624
I don't want to start changing an otherwise working set-up until I'm sure about this.
(Wondering whether it might be good to update your readme to provide clearer guidance for linux users so you don't get this sort of Q arising again?)
Thanks again for the brilliant support.
(BTW, I know the use of RTMPdump's librtmp as a shared library [support for encrypted streams too] is in the pipeline for the next XBMC release, that should make all this stuff go away for linux, but until then.....)
[edit]
Okay, so I did have a go, I used the xbmc-bin and xbmc-data debs (the top two). dpkg -i'd them and ended up with a load of dependency issues with things like libasound and libfaad2 &c &c. Some I tried to fix where they were simply not installed (apt-get install missing lib), but for others they required later versions of installed libraries - needing libasound 1.2 (versus the installed 1.0<something>) being a good example. And so I ran out of time, demands from the family, and had to stop and revert to the default XBMC from the repos. Ho hum.
