Top stuff - Worked first time.

For Boxee users on MacOSX, the install path is /Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/Resources/Boxee/plugins/video/ , I'm guessing boxee doesn't read the user specific plugin dir.. either way once there.. just add a new source and the iplayer plugin should show up. Still looking at where I need to add in my "UK IP" socks proxy, so I can actually play the content though!

Excellent, I needed to upgrade to a new T3CH XBMC (Xbox) build, but now it works like a charm.

Comment by Bobshalford, Dec 28, 2008

Hmm. I am having trouble finding the correct directory in which to add the plugin. I have no ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC/plugins/video/ (indeed .. no XBMC folder, let alone anything deeper) .. nor Boxee.app or anything further. Boxee runs, so whatever it needs is obviously around somewhere, but if I search for "xbmc" i get nothing of note, and if I search for "boxee" i get the application, or an empty folder.

Any clues ... ??

Followed the instal instructions for XBMC and everytime I try to run the programm it returns the errror: 'No module named iplayer2'. Anyone know how to resolve this?

Comment by james.philpot, Dec 29, 2008

'No module named iplayer2' - you're probably running an older version of XBMC. Google t3ch and download the latest build.

Ah good point actually James, I just realised my version is about 5 months old. Cheers

just upgraded to Atlantis to get this working, followed these instructions and it works great! keep up the good work!

Bobshalford, its a hidden folder, copy the path from above and go into Finder then Go and Go to Folder and then paste in the path.

Remember to create a folder called iPlayer and copy all the content of the plugin to that folder.

Works a treat, thanks Robert.Coles.

TV works fine but the radio never plays, any ideas?

Comment by captain.alpha.13, Jan 07, 2009

Video will not work for me at all. Radio works fine but no video can ever be found. Does anyone know why?

Comment by matthewjnalley, Jan 20, 2009

Is it possible to show a number of streams by each channel? I see lots of results for channels, then categories within each channel, then subcategories...but so far I cannot find any streams. It's rather time consuming and frustrating to drill down over and over (waiting for a download each at every step) only to find nothing.

Working with Boxee on Mac thanks to instuctions at http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=289

Same probelm as threluja (Jan 04, 2009) TV is perfect but Radio not working. There is an alternative set of radio feeds for BBC but I added the source to the <music> section in the sources.xml in the hope it would work. It didn't. Now stuck for ideas.

It appears but doesn't stream.

Works on XBOX using T3CH stable release 2008-11-13 8.10. Works well but doesn't like Library view, you have to use Files view to see the proper file names, otherwise you get B0000HB490STREAMING105040805 for a file name. Pretty good though.

Just wont install 4 me I done exactly as instructed. it says "Make sure you installed the plug in correctly" I don't know what to say.

Comment by brian.g0ukb, Feb 26, 2009

Worked fine for me with the latest stable 8.10 T3CH build. THANK YOU

One question - it always uses the Internet Video cache size (default 4096K) - this takes forever to cache a radio stream (just under two mins - I timed it) but TV is almost instantaneous. Is there anyway to use a separate smaller cache for the radio streams, I was hoping that dropping the plugin into the Music plugins folder would have persuaded it to use the smaller audio cache but no such luck.

I'll use this daily for listening to radio broadcasts I've missed. I can drop the system Internet video cache size down I guess and remember to up it when streaming video

For some reason (I havent a clue why) my xbox xbmc plugins directory is located on the q drive q:/plugins/video

Hope this helps someone
