I seem to recall, way back when I was still on WMC and TunerFree MCE, that something changed and therafter 4oD stopped working there. With MP and OV, sadly, 4oD and 4oD Web have never worked for me.

I was using the radiotimes xml data for the TV guide but I think they've now stopped the service. I'll look into just scraping the current programme info from the iPlayer/ITVplayer website.

@Brownard That's a shame, as an alternative would it be possible to include the TV program guide pages with the Live channels so that those of us who do not subscribe to the RT have an idea of what is comming up.
Also any chance of getting a BBC Channel 3 link working?

I'll get some sort of guide working
BBC Three is online only now, it's just a collection of online programmes, there's no live stream (as far as I know)

I've updated iPlayer, guide data should hopefully now work. I also added the channels as categories so you can e.g. show only BBC 3 content.
I'll look at fixing the ITV player guide soon.

@Brownard. Hopefully you can help. I am getting no url error for some of the olympic events. Football, Basketball and Beach Volley. The ceremonies are ok, but nothing else that I have tried worked. If you can find the time to take a look, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Looks like they are using MPEG-DASH for those streams which I don't think is currently playable by MP. I did also notice that there is a HDS stream available which the source filter seems to support but I couldn't get it to play, I've attached the manifest file and log in case @georgius or @offbyone can comment.

Thanks for taking the time to look into it. Let's hope @georgius or @offbyone can help. It's Olympics. Cannot watch everything live Need the time shifting.

I've got them working (using the HLS streams), update the site and give it a try.
