There is nothing that can be done from the plugin side for this - I point you to my earlier answer regarding the CDNs. There is a minor plugin bug on xbmc4xbox which needs fixing, but this issue is not in the plugins control - the CDN disconnected, or stopped providing data. Could be your network, you connection to the CDN, the CDN itself, or something else. Nothing can be fixed - you are going to have to put up with these issues.

it's not a memory issue?

> 17:16:12 M: 5357568 SEVERE: DLL: Q:\system\players\dvdplayer\libRTMP.dll : calloc failed, crash imminent (Out of memory)

all this is normal?

well, you run out of memory yes, but there is no way of seeing from that log why the ram was gobbled up. Maybe a memory leak in one of the libraries due to the data that was coming in. maybe a librtmp or ffmpeg issue caused by the data provided by the CDN. Sometimes some of the CDN's don't work and send junk data etc. There is still nothing I can do about it I'm afraid. I suspect the rtmp stream caused it in some way. I can only suggest trying switching CDN. For me limelight mostly works better than akamai for example (and I don't get the drops you have)

iPlayer showing no content on v3.5

Post by Bingowings »

Switched over to 3.5 which has been working like a dream (nice to see youtube back) but today I noticed iPlayer is showing no content at all.
I tried restarting, reinstalling, all the channels are empty and no results are returned on the search facility. It was working last week so I was wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble. I will post user logs as soon as possible. Just testing the waters so to speak. Thanks for the continued work on the old dear, it's greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply hopefully the BBC will get around to letting people have the access they need to repair add ons like this. Iplayer was one of my most used apps on xbmc4xbox next to youtube.

There is a new addon that scrapes the website for programme listings - info here - it will likely work fine on xbmc4xbox if it works on xbmc. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid ... pid1827386

@buZZ

Have this addon integrated proxy support like the addon from micky 123 and since the Livestreams working (rtmp (no handshake problem ?))

Micky's addon work with proxy enabled on the addon settings fine on Germy to only the Livestreams since not working (rtmp Problem)

But i think tha can differend work when you are located on uk.

hat a look on the addon.xml and it is the addon from Mikey1234

With proxy on on the setting i can all watch on germany to but the livestreams not.

So it's compatible and work on uk complete and outside from uk to .
But the livestreams not.

That's because the live stream rtmp servers are geolocked.
