BBC iPlayer (UK) (2 Viewers)

BBC Live has never worked as far as I can tell. Well, it hasn't for me at least.

I am fairly sure it did work in the past for me both on MP 1 & 2 with Win 7, albeit none to reliably as I recall but for sure not the No URL error I am now getting with the current MP 1 and OV (all latest) and Win 10. BBC Live is still working on my HTPC (Win 7) in WMC and the TunerfreeMCE plugin, so it seems the stream is still available! Any chance someone could take a look at it? I am looking to use MP as a replacement for WMC but no BBC Live would be a showstopper,
Also the ITV player looks to be, on a quick test, 100% faulty at present, anyone else seeing that?

Yeah the iPlayer live streams are broken, I had a look a little while ago but couldn't get them to work - I can get what looks like the right urls but they aren't playable for some reason.

I was using ITV Player yesterday without issue, could you not get any shows to play?

Following an OV updated when I started up ealier, the only sections in the ITV player now showing content are the A-Z and Live. Everything I tried in the A-Z played fine but all channels in Live give me th.e No URL error. When I tried it yesterday I went to the ITV 3 section (not in Live) which was showing content and tried "A Touch of Frost" it and several other things I tried did not work but I did not try from the A-Z at that time.

Regarding BBC Live the Flash Player in TunerfreeMCE shows the following when playing BBC1 Live. 1500kps⎸HDS(akamai-hds)⎸bbc_one_london⎸896x504
Don't know if that helps.

The ITV categories are indeed broken, I will try and push a fix for that. That looks like the same bbc streams I am trying to play...they are possibly encrypted

 

[Brownard]

Looks like I might be able to get the BBC live streams to work using their iPad streams

 

[Brownard]

I've just pushed an update. Categories should now work on ITV Player and live streams should work for both ITV Player and iPlayer

 

[blair_haynes]

You rock! Thanks for this...

 

[joecrow]

+1 on that.

ITV is now looking good and both ITV and BBC Live are working
Great work, many many thanks.

@Brownard

Thanks for fixing these.

One observation. There are some episodes of shows on ITV that gives no URL for playing or downloading. An example is Cold Blood 1x2 and 2x2. The interesting thing is even when it rebroadcasted/re-posted, the same episodes give the error. Almost like a broken link is being re-posted.
