Defunct thread as BBC iPlayer has been replaced by the BBC Sounds app for LMS
As some of you are aware the BBC has started streaming its live and catch up services in the new DASH and HLS formats which currently won't work on many devices.
BPA has created a version of Triode's original iPlayer plugin that works with the new DASH and HLS formats. To get it you first need ensure that you have 'show all 3rd party plugins' checked and uninstal any existing old versions (by unchecking the plugins and restarting LMS) and add the following URL:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/repo-short.xml
to the LMS plugins (settings>plugins) additional repository list (right at the bottom of the page). Restart LMS and new versions of BBC iPlayer and BBC iPlayer extras will appear for instal. Click 'enable' and then 'apply' (bottom right) and new working versions of the iPlayers will appear.
In the iPlayer settings select DASH>HLS>MP3>FlashAAC as the preferred stream preference order.
There is also a new beta 1.5.4 version from bpa that adds DASH FLAC for the Proms and also segment info. Add the following URL to the repository links:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/V154testrelease-repo.xml
This will also update iPlayer Extras too.
Then set DashFlac > DASH as the audio preference in iPlayer settings.
