RE: iPlayer www add-on - Cangeoboy - 2020-04-02

When I'm on the BBC iPlayer website there is an option under categories to specify sorting by Features, A-Z and Most Recent.   I was wondering if there would be any possibility of incorporating this into the iPlayer www add-on?  Specifically the ability to sort by most recent.

Thanks

There used to be a possibility to do this in Kodi. At that time, all programmes had an "Added" date on the iPlayer website. This piece of information has since disappeared, so this is no longer possible. As further information: Kodi can be configured in with different sort orders in each skin. This may override any sort order specified on the website.

Hi, 
A strange thing: I cannot get the subtitles to display.
The correct subtitles are downloaded under .kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.iplayerwww/iplayer.srt but I cannot get them to show. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks!

Nevermind, looks like I fixed it, based on info from this thread.
Here's a diff if anyone is interested:

What version have you got installed ?  I have 3.0.44 on my Pi in the kitchen (running LibreElec & Kodi 18.4) and radio streams are working fine for me.  In fact, it's the only way I get to listen to Serious Jockin' (No G) on a friday tea time!

Version 3.0.48 if I go into Music > Program List A - Z, A, there's nothing under there in the categories. I can play the live streams, but picking out radio programs seems to be broken?

Probably the pages have changed that iPlayerwww scrapes for the info.  The BBC is moving all the audio only stuff to BBC Sounds (iPlayer on my phone shows no radio at all only video and I have to use BBC sounds to stream radio stations etc on it) so it's likely related to that.

If that is indeed the case, I think it's unlikely to be fixed Sad

For those having issue getting iPlayer WWW to stream correctly (i.e. When utilising OS + Browser on your network streaming is OK but with Kodi and iPlayer WWW streaming is NOT OK)
Following are my iPlayer WWW Version 3.0.48 add-on Settings (Working correctly today on RPis LibreELEC 9.2.1, Android TV Kodi 18.6, Win10 PC Kodi 18.6)

Settings -> General
Enable BBC iD: Yes (+ Username and Password included in relevant following fields)

Settings -> Streams -> Video Settings
Stream Protocol: HLS
Catchup DCN source: Limelight
Catchup bitrate: Highest
Live DCN Source: Limelight
Live Bitrate: Highest

Settings -> Streams -> Radio Settings
Radio CDN source: Any
Radio location: International
Max Live Radio bitrate: 320kbps

Notes:
Streaming Protocol HLS most important setting for successful streaming. (Other protocol options that have worked in past don’t work for me anymore)
With above settings defined Video section working GREAT for both Live and Catch-up (If buffering occurs gradually lower bitrate from Highest settings to bitrate that works consitently in your network environment)
Within Radio Section Only "Listen Live" working correctly OK.
Hope information helps others.

I recollect recent explanation from @ilainftw and a discussion with @CaptainT earlier within thread, that Radio elements of add-on maybe transferred from and included in new kodi add-on in future more compatible with way BBC have been separating Radio from BBC iPlayer to BBC Sounds.

Thank you very much for this fix-I have been unable to use this add on for a while,but now it works perfectly - Much appreciated!

Thanks for this but there is a lot of conflicting information about how to configure iPlayerWWW in the various forums.
The need to include BBC user name, password and login is a grey area.
It works for me without entering my BBC account details and leaving these fields unpopulated in the apps' settings.

Out of interest, are you able to confirm if it still works for you if you remove your BBC credentials and uncheck the auto sign in option?


RE: "iPlayer WWW" add-on - asik1 - 2020-05-26

Is there EPG in this addon? I don't see it.
Thank you

It works without signing in, however you lose some functionality without an account. As for 'various forums', I wouldn't bother with them nor YouTube as most of what you read or see either has an ulterior motive, or is simply incorrect. The addon is developed here, why would you go elsewhere for info about it.
