RE: [Beta] New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - m0nsterm4sh - 2015-09-30

I just downloaded this and tried it on a Raspberry Pi 1 model B+.

It works very well indeed. No problems at all.

Many thanks for the work.

Thanks for your hard work. It works beautifully indeed on Windows 7. Just watched South East Today to keep up with today's news.
Now if only you could change the spelling of 'available' in the interface to the correct one... Sorry but mom was a teacher...
Thanks again.

whats the difference between this and iplayer lite - they both look the exact same and iplayer lite is working fine for me?
Plugin works perfect BTW - thanks


RE: [Beta] New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - primaeval - 2015-09-30

It would be nice if you could show the stream resolution and frame rate as well as the bitrate. Can you see that in the meta data?


RE: [Beta] New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - zigination - 2015-09-30

Great plug, thanks!
The only stream I can watch without any freezing is 1000k
Any one else have this problem? 1800, 3200 all freeze....Confused

Just press "o" on your keyboard during playback. This will give you all the stream information you can find. Smile

Ooops. Stupid typo. Will be corrected, of course.

BTW: It took me longer to find the occurrence than to correct it. If you find any more problems, please try to mention the location. Saves me a lot of time. Thanks in advance.

I am glad to hear you got this sorted, but it still seems odd. The live channels are hard-coded, so they should always show up in the menu. They may or may not play, but that's a different story. So if they really did not show up in the list at all, please do get back to me, preferably by PM.

I meant in the list of available streams so you can pick by frame rate or resolution instead of just frame rate. I know about o. Thanks.

Thanks! Works well for me running on OpenElec on Celeron Nettop PC

I see that the BBC has announced that it will be dropping Flash and moving to HTML5. Does the WWW in the title infer that this version is using HTML5?

RE: [Release] New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - DarrenHill - 2015-09-30

Even though they've introduced HTML5, they are going to be dual-streaming both that and flash for a good while yet, so no need for immediate panic.

This is very much appreciated CaptainT.
I was wondering how buffering works with the catchup tv.

I live in Bali and connections outside of Indonesia tent to be a bit inconstant so I usually keep any video I stream paused for a few minutes to build up a buffer.
In the codec Info I can usually see how the size grows in mb.
With this Add-On it only goes to a 100% but it does not look like it keeps buffering more.
Is this intentual?

No, it is not and it is also not how it behaves on my end. I can see the buffer fill up in the beginning and then vary depending on what speed I can maintain from the servers.

The add-on uses HLS-streams in an m3u8 playlist. There have been various issues in Kodi itself with buffering of m3u8 playlists in the past. So I can only guess that you might be on one of the Kodi versions which have problems with m3u8 playlists. For me everything works fine running 15.0.

Apart from this, please make sure your buffer size is large enough, see the Kodi wiki for more details.

OK, now I got it. Actually, I was more thinking about going the other way and removing the bitrate and replace it with some sort of "star" rating for different qualities.

Each bitrate just relates to one particular resolution and frame rate, I can provide a table to explain. This might take some time, though, as I will be pretty busy with work the next week or two.
