on demand plugin - No episodes found BBC iPlayer Plugin

could be just a simple change in the BBC site like it was the last time, im sure there will be some sort of 'announcement' soon enough from the usual sources ;)

its working just ok. i suggest you get openvix image and download ondemand from the feed

just checked and yes bbc is down lol

BBC is now using the new Nitro API

Things change and move on.

Another back door closes,like the 4OD back door.

Change is not always for the best in my view.

The new API now requires a development key,which at the moment they are only giving out to BBC employees and officially credited iplayer plugin writters.But they do state that this key, in time, will become public.

if it does then new python code will have to be written to all enigma2 BBC iplayer plugins,similar to the code used in the TMDb plugin,as this also uses a public API key.

Never say never,but personally though, I doubt anyone will bother,certainly not the OE Alliance,even if they were able,so effectively you all can now consider the BBC Iplayer gone for ever on all public plugins for Enigma2 boxes.

Ian.

are we going to se bbc soon :S

The BBC dont want third party applications such as OnDemand, XBMC, Get-Iplayer etc etc, working with their feeds and if it affects you, tough titty. (Their opinion not mine).

We're sorry that the demise of the RSS feeds has caused you any inconvenience. To be clear, the demise of those feeds and the opening of Nitro are not directly linked - they're driven by different factors.

The iPlayer RSS feeds were a legacy part of older versions of the iPlayer website which we’ve finally had to shut down with the end of a larger hosting contract for those legacy sites. Meanwhile, the timeline for opening up Nitro is really just a balance of resources to prepare the developer portal for open access and finish some technical work to ready Nitro for it, while developing the capabilities needed by our many BBC Online products. (Like iPlayer)

We would of course have preferred to have introduced Nitro before we had to shut down the RSS feeds, but other work (like making content available for 30 days) took priority and we’re left with this gap of a few months.

I think I should also caveat that Nitro is not going to be a like-for-like replacement for the RSS feeds - it has a different style and structure, and it is a managed API, meaning that each consumer (public developer or BBC app) has its own rate limit so that we can manage usage and capacity. We can't guarantee that it'll be easy or even possible for things like RSS readers to use, and you'll have to check that the apps that you build against it are consistent with the service & data licenses granted.

In particular, the BBC does not sanction XBMC, get_iplayer or similar clients, and the iPlayer RSS feeds were never designed or intended to support them. Nitro will almost certainly not support their ways of working. We realise this comes as unwelcome news to users of these clients. The iPlayer team continues to work hard to maximise access to iPlayer across a wide range of platforms and devices.

Looks like the team at "Get_iplayer" have figured out a workaround. just tested their release V2.90 in ubuntu and it appears to fetch the full TV listings ok.

Hope the guys that program in Python can use this Perl source code as a basis to find a solution to get our beloved BBC Ondemand working again :)

any news on a BBC iplayer fix?

bump :34_002:

Happy Christmas everyone. My BBC iPlayer seems to have stopped working. Im running a Vu+Duo with blackhole image. Could anyone help please.

thanks in advance

I think bbc have changed the way it s licenced so it's stopped on 3rd party apps / addon.

As stated above the BBC have changed the way the iplayer streams work resulting in the loss of pretty much all unlicensed versions. There are reports of it being fixed for the XBMC (KODI) platform but for the time being it won't be fixed in the OnDemand player for the enigma2 platform.

Bump too.... wish I understood why it no longer works!!

bbc iplayer working with get_iplayer

then stream to tv/box

Surely someone can fix this ?Or make a plugin that works legal or not maybe add it to tsmedia thats all licensed lmao
