Just got back from holiday. iPlayer works in all respects. Doing
nothing seems to fix things eventually. I'll remember that next time
and leave it all well alone.

Sorry, can't spare enough hours
KMorgan,
grepped means using the grep UNIX command to find text in a file.
dbuk is using a LINUX box to run SqueezeCenter and is unable to resolve
www.bbc.co.uk? This is very odd. Editing BBC.pm while solving the
imediate problem may cause new problems in the future if the normal BBC

There is a strange solution and it looks like it relates to your ISP and
connectivity.
Rather than ping - nslookup is better as it gives more info.
IT would be usefulto try the nslookupo on your PC - on my (non UK) PC I
get the following.

Would appreciate if you could detail the steps you took to do this. I
don't even know what grepped means. It will be after the weekend
before I can try it out though, as I can't set aside enough hours to do
a 5 min job on the computer before that.
Tks

Hi,
I had the same problem with iPlayer running on vortexbox (FC11). I
tried pinging www.bbc.co.uk and found it couldn't be resolved. bbc.co.uk
could be found.
I then grepped the iPlayer plugin directory for www.bbc.co.uk, found
the offending url and removed the preceeding www. (sorry don't

I think RT David doesn't realise that you are in the UK.
AlienBBC fetches URLs direct from web site so they are dynamic and up
to date. This might affect the 2nd RTSP URL I suggested but not your
general problem.

Up until I got back home on Fri after a few days away all was working
perfectly. I could get BBC Radio2 through Local, or iPlayer. I had
absolutely no issues with live streams or listen-again. Now I get
nothing from the main BBC stations either through SC or SN.
The odd thing is that
I haven't checked recently but a month ago local radio was RealAudio as
some UK users found they needed to install AlienBBC to play their local
radio.
On the PC - have you installed RealPlayer ? If not then it won't play
RealAudio streams.

Hi,
I have been having similar issues with connecting to BBC sites.
However, I noticed also that RSS feeds were not working either. Updating
to the latest nightly (7.3.3 - 27084) build fixed the issue for me.
Maybe the same will help you?

you were deep linking to the real audio streams instead of using their
dynamic playlist you probably missed the transition to the new stream

However, as of today the BBC has windows media streams available to

Does this screenshot help at all? It's a bit faded as it was very hard

I was expecting a few other comments confirming the lack of BBC radio
streams. As of this morning I still can't connect even using the BBC
web page. I'm in the UK, using Vista Home Premium, IE8, ISP Virgin

1. Reboot PC and all SBs and Reset the router - Some routers (e.g.
Apple) can have problem with port 554 which is used for RealAudio.
2. Talk to your ISP and check that BBC works for them ?

Thanks for your continued help. Tried all the reset stuff inc.

You could try the following as a test. It needs to be run form a
command prompt window and in the AlienBBC plugin Bin directory which has
mplayer.exe. Assuming your PC has speakers.
This plays BBC Radio 2 - RealAudio stream.
mplayer -v -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/realmedia/fmg2.ram

think the second URL is for UK listeners - however I am not certain.

Does BBC iPlayer work on your PC ?
If so then the AlienBBC problem is in your SC setup.

Aha! The original BBCiPlayer is stuck at Connecting to media... so
there is obviously some major problem at their end. Suppose I should
have thought of that myself. Thanks bpa

The other possibility is something to do with your ISP - perhaps
blocking/managing/shaping the audio streams in some way.
