The BBCiPlayerExtra plugin uses many web browser menus which are unspported by BBC and so some can go out of date or change without notice. The BBC web browser only serves up Flash and DASH streams. So if BBCiPlayer plugin for on demand does not have DASH or Flash/AAC or BBCiPlayerExtra setting has DASH disabled - then streams found using the BBCiPlayerExtra plugin are unlikely to play.
There are two issues being reported. The 404 - I don't get these errors so I think it is local/BBC. However once it has happened the error may be cached and it will appear until casche expires - each time it is tried I think cache timer is reset. If you have a 404 - Stop LMS , delete cache.db and restart LMS and see if problem persists. Not being able to play streams - this needs more investigation but I think the BBC may have changed their Flash format. BBC's play is to move from Flash to DASH in stages since DASH is not widely supported. So BBC is using Apple's HLS (for iOS) and Adobe HDS (Android ?) as alternatives to Flash. Playing Audio on older browsers need Flash Plugins. Newer browser which support HTML5 Web Audio (and therefore DASH) often have Flash disabled by default. BBC used to use Flash /AAC requires special Flash servers. BBC have been testing Flash plugin but playing HDS stream - these server are comparable ot HLS and DASH serves and perform better than Flash servers. I think BBC has changed over from Flash/AAC to a Flash plugin playing HDS which means no falsh protocol (i.e. no rtmp urls). The BBCiPlayer plugin cannot play HDS streams. This needs more investigation which I cannot do until later today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105389 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
