Does anyone have this plugin working on the ATV2?
I have installed it okay, the plguin.video.iplaer folder is installed here:/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/plugin.video.iplayer
All of the menus and thumbnails load up just fine. No errors. But when I click on a video under TV to play, it's starts the stream and then ends without playing anything. Sometimes I will see a brief flash of the video, but then it dissappears. Nothing will play.
Any help appreciated :-)

Videos from this plugin are working fine for me on ATV2. I installed Hitcher's repository and then installed the iPlayer plugin from there. Don't really know what's going wrong for you. I'm sure a debug log would help anyone trying to find out what's happening.
I am having a problem listening to radio streams though (playback failed errors, or nothing at all happens), but I'll report back about that after the ATV2 branch has been merged to trunk in case that's got something to do with it.

both level 3 and akamai carry the hd streams. but it should be fine on auto mode for provider. are you setting stream quality to hd or normal? a debug log would be good (in this case I just need debugging switched on for the iplayer plugin not xbmc itself but thats fine too - more important to have that for stuff when there are timeouts etc) as then i can see why you only get the lower quality stream.

After a quick reboot it's working now.

your proxy server definitely supports socks5 ? I would need to install a socks5 server to test, as that code is untouched by me (part of a python module). I should think most http proxy servers with authentication will work with the first option anyway.
wouldnt mind a log showing live tv/radio not working, but I assume they are geolocked streams. Not much i can do there - for that you need a vpn.
password is disabled on socks4 as it doesnt support it (or at least the module we use doesnt and it states socks4 doesnt).
ive uploaded a newer build same url - had a fix to the tunneled authentication (which I have successfully tested on a local proxy server)

ill check and make sure there isnt any weirdness going on in the code - not really look at the radio stuff. having said that, when using my test proxy, it worked fine although I will double check (and of course could be linked to me being in the uk - perhaps I should vpn to outside the uk for testing it ;-) )
