thisweb, are you running my "official" iplayer version from the iplayer google site or the fix that was posted here ? the settings should be working on the version on the google code site (the svn release not the zip).
the blurring is a resolution thing at 800kbit. try 1500 and it should be gone.

Is there a howto for idiots available for this plugin yet, I've been trying to follow the thread but have been getting very confused with exactly what I need to do.
Running an SVN version of XBMC on my linux box from a couple of days ago, what do I now need to do to get this to work ?
Thanks in advance

@ exobuzz - mate I am going to stick with the fix that the other lads posted. The reason is quite simple. It works first time no problem.
Just to give you a bit of context. Using the official one version of iplayer 1-7-2010 placed in the addons folder does not get picked up by a virgin install of the latest SVN. Yet the minute I delete the official version and copy and paste the 'fix - folder' into my addon folders it works.
Very willing to keep testing for you mate if you tell me what steps you would like to do. Will be on leave till the end of the Tour-de-France.
Cheers.

No stress exobuzz - I went to the link provided and it tells me quite correctly that I am not a member. Just shout if you want an additional hand to do some testing. I can be the idiot sample - as I certainly have no skills beside being a n00b to add to the process. But I guess even that could be helpful during the final stage of testing.
Cheers mate.

Did a bit of testing earlier and here's what I found (this is using the latest Windows SVN build).
Akamai - playback stops just after 1 min
Limelight - plays fine but can't always find a usable stream

There is a known issue on windows with the swf verification. Maybe related to the place its trying to write the .swfinfo file - this is an issue with the librtmp stuff rather than the plugin.
The limelight issue is that limelight doesnt have all the bitrates available, and if thats selected and no stream is available it wont try and use akamai. I would recommend just using akamai anyway, but i guess the plugin could be better in this area/
