BBC iPlayer not working

[Neilkachu]

Hi,

iPlayer not working here anymore, Ive upgraded to newest alpha with no change.
Currently on MAC OSX 10.6, boxee alpha 0.9.14.6992

Selecting an item loads the player but it just sits on the inital image screen, the timer is going but no audio or video. Tried ff/rew etc no joy.
Im in the UK so not likely IP related.

I do notice Plex is having a similar problem so maybe some API issue?

Cheers, Neil

Hi marcel,

The Plex guys have fixed it over their side, it is an API issue.

I tried the iplayer and have no problem playing content ..can you elaborate on the specific show you are having issues with

Hi Marcel.

Well all of them so far, but from the front page today,

High_Flyers_How_Britain_Took_to_the_Air
Waterloo_Road_Series_5_Episode_1
Jimmys_Food_Factory_Whats_in_My_Sandwich

all have same problem, appears to start then just sits on the Click to Play screen, timer is going but no video/audio.

Here's the log for this test.

I was having this issue too, but now the BBC iPlayer app is just missing. Has it been removed while its being fixed?
Thanks

[marcel]

please make sure you unchecked "Hide feeds and applications that cannot be played in your location" under Settings>Appearance>View options

Thanks. Did this just change? I'm in the UK, so no reason it should be hidden with this setting on or off!??

Still have the same issue with programs not playing. The still graphic comes up with the play button over it, but it never starts. Sounds like its an API issue from what the Plex lot have said though.
