excellent walkthru thanks

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.

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?

'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?

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

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.

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

Hello,

Had to modify the python script to get this working but may have been my install. I've installed this into plugins\video\iplayer so I had to change line 39 from: DIR_USERDATA = xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join( "T:"+os.sep,"plugin_data", scriptname )) to: DIR_USERDATA = xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join( "T:"+os.sep,"plugin_data\\video", scriptname ))

Then it all worked.

Thanks a bunch, this is brilliant! :-)

I successfully installed on Windows 7, Dharma beta 3 by doing the following In XBMC go to System, Add-ons, Install from zip file Select the download and let it install Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Users\<your logon name>\AppData?\Roaming\XBMC\addons\ Rename the IPlayer folder to plugin.video.iplayer

You should now be able to Launch it from XBMC Videos, Video Add-ons

Happy viewing :)

@ JasonBSt...

I have got Iplayer and ITVPlayer installed on XBMC Windows 7, Dharma beta 3as you have, all appears to work i.e. Iplayer loads up, i can flick through the list of programs, but when i select one it says 'loading' for a few second and the goes back to the list and does not play?? This happens for both Iplayer and ITVPlayer??

Any ideas?

I tried everything to install Navi-x on my xbmc in windows 7 have no luck anyone know of some software i could use to do it for me? Please

After lots of trouble I managed to get the iPlayer running smoothly from the Netherlands! I did buy aTVflash (firecore.com) for $40 and have a 3-month Astrill VPN account (17 euros). Here's what I did, you probably don't need all these steps for the iPlayer, but hey, it works :-):

Since I've been tinkering for many hours and I finally got at least some components working, I wanted to share this with you all. Feel free to comment :-) 1. First I restored my ATV1 to Factory Settings. 2. After that ran I booted it with a USB-stick with aTV Flash (which I created on my MacBook?) 3. Then I ran the Update (Maintenance-Settings-nito Smart Installer) 4. Then I was in luck as I still have an old iBookG4 with OSX 10.4.10 on it. So I copied /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreAudioKit?.framework folder to a USB stick (that's starting at the root folder of your HD, not your users folder!) 5. I installed Cyberduck on my MacBook? and connected using SSH (FTP standard connection only lets you view the Frontrow user folders). So Open Connection->SFTP/SSH->Server= appletv.local (click the book-icon and then Bonjour to see the name of your ATV)->enter frontrow as user and password 6. In Cyberduck go to /System/Library/Frameworks and see if there is a CoreAudioKit?.framework folder, depending on that you can skip some of the following steps if the folder is already there. 7. Because I could not copy my local (on my MacBook?) CoreAudioKit?.framework folder using Cyberduck because of permissions, I started Terminal on my MacBook? 8. In Terminal type: ssh frontrow@appletv.local (or whatever your ATV is called), answer 'yes' if Terminal asks if you really want this and type frontrow again as the password 9. type: cd /system/library/frameworks 10. type: sudo mkdir CoreAudioKit?.framework and type frontrow as password (normally within one SSH session you only have to type this password once for the sudo commands) 11. type: cd CoreAudioKit?.framework 12. type: sudo mkdir Resources 13. I then copied the CoreAudioKit?.framework folder from my MacBook? (I dumped it in my Downloads folder) to the /Users/frontrow/Documents folder on my ATV using Cyberduck 14. In Terminal, type: sudo cp -R /users/frontrow/documents/coreaudiokit.framework/ . (don't forget the final dot) 15. On your ATV go to Maintenance->Install Extras->Adobe Flash and finish the install 16. In Maintenance->Install Extras->Mozilla Firefox 17. After this go to nitoTV->Settings->Categories and check if Applications is ON, if not enable it 18. In nitoTV->Applications->Firefox to start Firefox. Now your need either a USB mouse/keyboard or a remote mouse program. Ive got both working, the USB is easiest ofc. 19. Just surf to any Flash website (Hulu for instance) and check if Flash is working 20. Now I use Astrill VPN so I created the correct files (ca.crt, client.crt, client.key) using their website. I selected 1 US server from their list and renamde the .conf file to config.conf 21. In Cyberduck go to /Users/frontrow/lbrary, select New Folder from the Action menu and name it: openvpn 22. Copy the VPN files to this new openvpn folder. So that's ca.crt, client.crt, client.key and config.conf for Astrill. 23 On ATV go to Maintenance->Install Extras->Tunnelblick and finish the install 24. Go to Maintentance->Settings and right-click on TunnelBlick? to set up your username and password 25. Launch Firefox and go to Hulu to check if it works. For me it's not possible to play Hulu streams at the moment 26. Get the latest BBC iplayer plugin for XBMC 27. Use Cyberduck to drop it in /users/frontrow/documents 28. Start XBMC, go to System->Add-Ons->Install from ZIP-file, then browse to /users/frontrow/documents and select the iplayer zip file, wait until XBMC says its done 29. I replaced my previous US config.conf file with a UK conf file (again from Astrill). So now I've got a config.conf file in my /users/frontrow/library/openvpn folder which points to a UK server 30. And that was it. I've tested a bunch of streams and they all (!!) work :-)

Unfortunately the US streams won't run through XBMC, I guess they blocked it.

Cheers, Dutchottie

There is no plugins folder. I can only see a addons folder.
