I notice that the beta plugin has now gone to version 8.
I've upgraded, (from beta 3 I think) anything to look out for?
Continues to work fine for me on 7.3.3 and Ubuntu 9.04 - still haven't
had a single instance of failure to connect first time.

Thanks for this, works great.
Only issue I have is that when I assign List LiveBBC Radio 2 to a

It selects radio 2, then nothing happens. Using latest 7.4.
Any ideas?

moment. I don't use play it again much but they have acknowledged a

Thanks Triode, all sounds very good running with 7.3.3.
One problem I found is that I cannot fast forward through Listen Again
programmes. This was a bit annoying when Pick of the Pops rebuffered and
ground to a halt part way through.
Is there a fix for the lack of FFWD?

The latest versions of the plugin will work with any of the file type

Gulp. I'm enjoying the stability and no hassle of 7.3.3 and have no

Is there any way that this will work on 7.2.1 (with wav stream format
and aac2wav decoder)?
I tried installing manually, and it appears in the list of plugins but
greyed out as incompatible.

Not yet - still testing. As soon as the issues are sorted, it should
work as the AAC format can be played by users outside of the UK but they
are still 48kbps streams but better quality as AAC is better than
RealAudio for the same speed.

I've put a beta test version of BBCiPlayer which plays the AAC live and
on demand streams in my beta repo. If you are interested in these
streams please try this out and let me know how you get on.
Add the following link to extension downloader / plugins additional
repos:
Hum - can't see why adding the plugin should cause that. The first
error in the log suggests that it is trying to play an old iPlayer url.
You may need to delete the contents of Cache/FileCache or wait a while
for the old cache entries to be removed.

I need to look at that more, but I would expect you to be able to

Better audio quality is always a good thing
A couple of questions about the AAC streams:
* Would you still be able to FFW/Pause/RWD the programs?
*Would it be possible to include the 'Schedule' and 'Categories' menu
as per the iPlayer website?
Keep up the excellent work, it really is
* Would you still be able to FFW/Pause/RWD the programs?

I don't think flvstreamer supports starting a stream at a specified
