The issue with BBC Three is independent of 1.3.3. The Beeb moved the URL and this is fixed in 1.3.4.

I will look into the other issue. Since you say it was introduced with 1.3.3, I assume it is related to the unescaping of all HTML. Possibly something breaks the URL or PID for this episode. If that's the case, then solving one problem created a whole lot of others.

So way back in time. The iPlayer addon used to list radio content from the BBC. Then due to Devs moving on and the BBC changing the way the whole iPlayer system works and new Devs coming onboard, we lost the radio content from the addon. Now, I understand why. And I am not going to bitch at Devs for working on something for no rewards. I am more than thankful for the iPlayer addon. I use it a great deal. I don't have any issues with it at all (I live in England, So I don't need any of that silly proxy settings GeOBlocking workarounds). It works great for TV content.

But with all that said. Would Radio ever come back on to the roadmap for this addon? As silly as it sounds. I miss listening to the drama shows that the BBC does for its radio stations. Right now I have to get the shows manually and drop them in a folder that Kodi can see. I really miss just using the iPlayer addon to find the shows I wish to hear and just stream them direct.

Anyway, Thank you very much for your work on this addon. It is a real joy to have.

I've started work on the Radio section. It is not perfect but it works. If you want to try it out go here:

I can play episode 4 (as well as 1) of the Tracey Ullmann Show. Episodes 2 and 3 still fail.

I can play them all as long as I don't use subtitles. So just to make sure that I am looking at the same issue: Are you using subtitles?

Edit: I think I found the answer to that question in one of your previous posts. I am preparing 1.3.5 right now, which will fix this issue. Thanks for reporting!

Excellent! I've updated to 1.3.5 and the issue is resolved. All is working fine now. Thanks!

If I VPN from the USA, is it expected I can playback live but not catch-up?

Technically you should be able to do both. Ethically you can do neither.


RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - iainmacleod - 2016-02-03

If I could pay the UK license fee and have access I would.

Technically I can't do both. It fails when trying to playback The Rat Pack movie.

Where do I need to look in the logs, do I have to turn on debug - or does the add-on store it's own logs somewhere?

You, me and probably millions of others worldwide too, would like the opportunity to pay for iPlayer access. Actually I still pay quite a lot of UK tax, so i don't feel quite so bad.

Does it even start to play the movie? If it does then try changing stream settings - I suggest 2.4Mbps Akamai (still 720p), or even lower bitrate. If the stream does not even start, try using iPlayer in a browser, just to check that it is possible before trying to debug Kodi.

Oops. Sorry, stupid browser reposted an old posting by accident. I would delete it if I could.


RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - CaptainT - 2016-02-07

Today, I would like to draw your attention to some recent developments in the add-on.

After the requests for radio content in the last weeks, primaeval has put in a tremendous amount of work to integrate radio into the add-on. This huge improvement warrants a new major version, which is why the next release will most likely be called 2.0.0. Knock on wood that we won't need an urgent bug fix before that. A huge thanks for this to primaeval!

Since the mix of radio and TV content created a long and quite ugly add-on script, I decided to break up the source code into separate parts. The result of this process can be found in the development branch of the add-on on GitHub.

I would like to invite everyone interested to try out the current status 2.0.0~beta by downloading it from GitHub. There are most certainly still some bugs in the code and any feedback is appreciated. Once there is some positive feedback, I will release 2.0.0 and submit it to the official repo.

Is it just me? I cannot see any references to radio whatsoever, where should I be looking?

You need to access the add-on via "Audio" in Kodi. If you access it through "Video", you will only see the TV content.

Also, you might need to restart Kodi. I'm not convinced Kodi reads the addon.xml with the new audio functionality without a restart.

Installed latest beta and am playing Radio 2 right now (via Music -> add-ons -> iPlayer WWW -> Listen Live High Quality) and working great. (will test available options in next few days)

Thanks @primaeval and @CaptainT for all your hard work in adding BBC radio in iPlayer WWW 2.0.0~beta, very much appreciated CoolCool
