Serviio

Recently my iPlayer RSS feeds stopped working for video. Now the folders which should contain the videos report that there is "no content available".

The videos in My other folders containing non iPlayer RSS are working fine. I can watch the iPlayer via a browser fine.

The log file I captured is 135MB. If I edit out the libraries info when creating a new log will the correct information still be available as the online sources are apart of the library?

Below is a small sample of the log which may be useful

This looks like you have a playlist with online URLs.... ? It's not the iPlayer plugin I wrote.

downloaded plugin from here viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3277 and also re installed serviio again. Still no iplayer videos

Are you in the UK?

Using a vpn type connection.

I can view iPlayer via the web on the same PC. It has worked in the past recently. The ITV player does work.

Thank you.

Any ideas why this is no longer working??

I am having the same problem. I am not in the UK, but until a couple of weeks ago the IPlayer plugin used to work like a charm through tunlr (and the BBC iPlyer still does in firefox). If it can help, when testing the IPlayer plugin on a valid BBC link it throws the following error:

Thanks Zip for your great job.

Is it still a problem? It works for me (in UK), tried this feed: http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/drama/tv/list

tired the drama feed and still no good, it is still a problem. i'm outside the UK but can watch the iplayer across all devices on my network expect serviio. this only stopped working recently. itv player is still working

Still not working, also with the drama feed always getting the same 500 error code from the http server. The strange thing is that if I try to fetch the url causing the exception (e.g., http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/p01538p0) via curl or wget or even a web browser, the http server returns an apparently well formed XML file (and not the 500 error).
