Thanks for the notice. Yes, they changed something. I took a quick look and the change seems rather annoying. It looks like we will need to load two HTML pages instead of one to get a list of episodes. Before, there was a redirect, which they obviously discontinued. This is so annoying because loading the HTML page takes up most time in the whole process. Parsing the HTML is pretty fast by now.
I am busy with family issues right now and will most likely only get to take a closer look next weekend or even early next week. This is fixable and will be fixed, I just need to find the time.

Take your time.

Did something maybe change on the site?OK, I finally managed to take a look at this issue. Unfortunately, this is not Kodi-related. What they did is remove all of the "View all episode" links from the "Box set" page. I have no idea why they did that, as for Categories it still exists. So the information we have been using is no longer on the Box set page. Instead, they want viewers to watch the first episode first, which will then show additional episodes and the "view all" button at the bottom of the page. This concept is contradictory to the add-on structure right now. If I was to use this, it would mean that even if you select a single episode, it would need to open up another folder, which would then contain the very same episode plus a folder of all episodes. If you go into that folder, you can select the initial episode again, which will give you a choice of the actual episode and a folder of all episodes. As you can see, this will lead to a strange nesting of folders.
The only way I can imagine to fix this right now without breaking a lot of other things is by adding a special case for "Box Sets". So for "Box Sets", Kodi would need to load each episode page in the background to get the "View All" link. Special cases like this are always prone to break other things and cause a lot of overhead, which is why I don't want to do this at the moment. From what I can see now, the "Box Sets" folder simply became useless with this change.
If you encounter a similar issue in another area, please report back.

RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - Hitcher - 2018-09-25
When selecting a show the list will only display the first label so they all end up looking the same.
Also you can only find shows using categories; when you try to find the same thing in 'Program List A-Z' you just get 'can't find stream'.

Totally different thing there.
RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - Hitcher - 2018-09-25
Yes, I typed music when I meant radio. Sorry.

If this does the trick, I can release an update in the next few days.
RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - Hitcher - 2018-09-25
Categories now list both labels but A-Z lists are completely empty now.
Thanks.

I assume A-Z is still not working perfectly, but at least it should work to a certain extent.
RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - Hitcher - 2018-09-25
A-Z listing are working but still can't find streams.

Also: Which stream settings are you using for Radio?
To add context: I was able to play programmes from A-Z yesterday, but I only tried a few.
RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - webmaher - 2018-09-26

Thanks for this great addon

My HTPC with W10 is strong enough to play 4k HDR streams (internet 220/6Mb/s)Did 4k ever work for you before? If not, try adjusting the settings of inputstream.adaptive first. It is usually set to a maximum bitrate which limits the stream to 1080p. Also, you need to be on Leyia for 4k to work. Browse back a couple of pages in this thread for more information. Look for posts by peak3d, the lead developer of inputstream.adaptive.
Thanks for this great addon
Other than that: The 4k streams come and go, we never know which ones are on and which are not.
