I set up the rules to forward certain addresses from XBMC through the TOR network. So only authentication goes through Tor network but the real data comes directly and fast.
Just forward these IP addresses... 212.58.0.0/16
Now this might be too wide a net for some people. Tweak accordingly.
Note: I am not using the internal XBMC proxy setting. Proxycap automatically intercepts certain requests and forwards them to the Tor network.
Been playing around with these settings for a couple of nights. Am finally able to get all recordings playing, including HD, by setting stream source to Limelight (in the iPlayer settings) and using the following info in Proxycap:
212.58.0.0/11 ... but also checking UDP in addition to TCP.
Still no live streams EXCEPT if I change source from Limelight to Akamai I can view BBC News and BBC Parliament live streams. Switching to Akamai, though, makes me unable to view some recorded streams.
Thanks to ndeshmukh for his research on this.
