[ATV2] XBMC BBC iPlayer plugin

[multipazz]

I'd recommend using a repository for the installation of the plugin:
it allows for later automatic upgrades,
so you'll always have the latest version without hunting about.

Here is a link to Hitcher's repo, that has the iPlayer add-on:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-repo-hitchers/downloads/list


if you just want to download the plugin for manual installation:
http://xbmc-repo-hitchers.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugin.video.iplayer/
or from the official project page here:-
http://xbmc-iplayerv2.googlecode.com/files/iPlayer-v2.4.12.zip

Download the zip and the in the Add ons section of XBMC choose install from zip.

it checks the IP! UK only

[multipazz]

sorry silence...

i should have put that in the OP

yes both iPlayer and TVCatchup plugins are UK ONLY..

unless you can set up a proxy.. that will allow you to stream video

[Deibs]

usvideo.org will let you get iplayer and all the rest listed on their page if your not in the US or not in the UK.

in ATV xcbm system i can't install the zip file

---------- EDIT ----------

how you install repo to jailbreak atv

[Silence]

ssh into your device var/private/media/ download this http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-repo-h...downloads/list and go to program menu and install from .zip file

[snakema13]

this is how I did it.
1. Unzip the repository zip file - i've done that.
2. From the home page, move to Videos and then select the sub-menu. On the Apple Remote, that's the down button.
3. On the sub menus you'll see the Addons menu. Click that.
4. Click Get More...
5. Click Video Add-ons
You should then see a list of the Add-ons from that repository. Select the ones I want BUT can't install its .why?

The whole purpose is to avoid paying. Your suggestion "usvideo.org" requires a monthly subscription. Thanks, but NO thanks

started watching psycoville season 2 in HD last night..
didn't realize they were on till i installed this plugin
LMAO... that is some funny shit right there..
UK members should check it out

also i have now found the original page for the plugin here:-
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-iplayerv2/

also another note on install this plugin..

if you SSH into your ATV you can download the zip directly to the ATV with wget command...

for the plugin download:-
wget http://xbmc-iplayerv2.googlecode.com...er-v2.4.12.zip

the official repo is here:-
wget http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/sv..._Installer.zip

once downloaded:-
open XBMC >> System >> add-ons >> install from zip

Sir

How do I get these proxy thing to work on the ATV2?
Or must it be done from the router?
