As a side note, there is limited Olympic coverage on the red button as the BBC have lost the rights to the company that own discovery+ (back in 2016 as it turns out!) and the majority of the event are behind the discovery+ paywall!
Appreciate your work on this add-on, really do!

Yep. I haven't watched any of the "2020" Olympics as a result, not even the stuff that is on the BBC. "United by emotion"? More like "United by the wish to line the pockets of vested interests", in my opinion - foisted on a place whose population largely didn't want them, allowing a US television company to dictate when events will take place (against the wishes of Japanese broadcasters), and not available free-to-air.
RE: "iPlayer WWW" add-on - webby2019 - 2021-08-04
I'm new to using the iPlayer WWW add-on and trying to connect via VPN outside of UK.
My VPN is working fine because I can watch shows via the BBC iplayer website using my browser.
However, when I try running to call up a stream/show using Kodi it fails and the log shows the following errors:
ERROR <general>: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

I'm guessing the error .."skipping unplayable item".. is the key problem but if it is and the VPN is working fine then I don't know where to go from here.
Any help appreciated.
Running Kodi 19.1 on Windows 10 (I have two identical PCs same build and it happens on both).

Two things for now:
- On this forum we do have a VPN policy (wiki).
- Always provide a FULL log file, and via a pastebin website such as paste.kodi.tv . That way we have all puzzle pieces.
RE: "iPlayer WWW" add-on - DarrenHill - 2021-08-04
Also the BBC actively block VPN access, as unless you are paying for a UK TV license, then you are accessing the content illegally (and even then, they do not allow access from outside the UK even if you do).
If I remember well the addon does not use the same sources within the BBC as the website does (but that may be wrong, as it has sometimes changed over time).
But in any case, our VPN policy (wiki) applies as mentioned above, so your usage case is not supported here.

The Kodi 19 version of the add-on uses the same sources as the website. No more difference. If it works in a browser it should work in Kodi. Might need some tweaking with CDN settings here and there, but that‘s it.

Just wondering why I continually get the not living in the UK error in Kodi, but not while streaming with the regular BBC iPlayer
It doesn't make sense that I can stream, download episodes and even watch live broadcasts in iPlayer, but not in Kodi. There's something else at play here, that just doesn't add up... Does the BBC detect Kodi add-on and just boot me out, or what?

@CaptainT
I was looking in the media folder of the addon a couple of days ago and noticed files for the TV Channel names are square shaped and the radio channel names are rectangle shaped. Can I ask if there is any specific reason for this? I happened to be playing a radio channel and saw a difference in the way the name was displayed on the OSD which is why I looked in the media folder.

There is no particular reason for it. If I remember correctly, the radio icons were provided by contributor primaeval.
If there is a side effect of some of the icons, I see no hassle in changing the format. The icons will need to be moved to a media add-on anyways to avoid shipping them with every update of the ads-on again.

I'll update mine when I get moment and send you a link. Then if you want to include the updates, it's entirely up to you.
Cheers

Using version 4.0 of the plugin on latest version of OSMC.
Has been working fine. Today it fails. Tried an uninstall/install - no change.
Log: https://paste.kodi.tv/movawopaga.kodi
========= IGNORE THIS ========
It's working ok on my Kodi install on my Macbook. Has to be a problem with OSMC ...
