BBC iplayer has gone flakey for me recently (on latest build) - programmes showing individually play OK but categories are empty and search results show the parent folders but they are empty too. Not sure if this is just me....but rolled back to an earlier version and the same (worked previously).

+1 great extension.
On the BBC iPlayer issue I noticed that OpenVix had an update recently that included a youtube-dl update - suspect that might be related to the iplayer service not working (for me anyway) on E2iPlayer.
In anycase thank you Sam for your efforts.

Hello escortrs - many thanks for the reply. That adds up - just odd that is has happened recently as the sign-in requirement goes back a lot further. I can work round it by using youtube-dl or get_iplayer on a PC to drop the downloads on to the Enigma2 box - just a bit more clunky. I always assumed the E2i plugin was related to those programs as neither of those (get_iplayer or youtube-dl) needs a BBC login on the same home network and same isp. Thanks again - not a disaster just a little odd.

Hello - I can't seem to find an answer in this thread, but for me BBC iplayer has a problem. It loads upin E2iPlayer OK, and displays all the comtent, but whatever I select I get the message "no valid links available" - not 100% sure when this started but would guess within last couple of weeks, I'm in the UK on a UK ISP and iplayer works on other devices connected tothe same router. My otherE2iPlayer services (inclding ITV) areall still working. I don't think I've changed anything my end just wondering if this is a local problem to me or if others are experiencing similar. thanks.

Thanks - just booted from that and get slightly different, - first message "bootloader" then "root file system" then "booting...." where it seems to hang like before. Not sure if there's a button sequence or anything? Thanks for replying in any case.

Hello - hope I've posted in the correct forum, pretty sure I have searched all related threads that search engines throw up and tried all the suggestions.
I have an Octagon SF4008, which was running ATV 6.1. I've been playing about with it installing and removing plugins, tweaking bouquest etc, and decided (stupidly as it turns out!) to freshen it up by starting from scratch with a flash of the latest nightly build from USB. That is where it has all gone horribly wrong!
I formatted (FAT32) a Sandisk 8GB USB and extracted the latest ATV image to it. I plugged in the USB and powered up the SF4008. At the prompt I didn't get the "flashing" message, but instead got "Inittd" and then "root file system". I removed the USB and tried to reboot to the (old) OS version but the box stuck at "booting". So far I have tried:
- several different USB drives (1, 2,4 and 8GB, different brands).- several different (older) versions of ATV
- (after a google) replacing two of the files (partition.update and recovery) with alternative ones linked to issues like this
- an OpenVix Image
- formatting wiith a full format on windows
-formatting with other tools
The only thing that has changed is that when I boot (with any usb and image) it goes to "root file system" then to "booting" (initially hung at "root file system).
I know these boxes are fussy wiith USB drives, so as a precaution have ordered a brand new kingston drive which should arrive tomorrow.
In the mean time any ideas if there's anything I can try to get it going or if there's any more information that might help to diagnose
Thanks!
Paul
