Nice work fellas, although i cant test it till the morning as i'm at work. but it's nice to see more and more people taking up the mantle and rattling these players out for the good of the community.

excellent work. just has a quick play with it and particularly impressed with the stream quality option. testing on my lowly 3mb line 3 of the 4 resolutions worked. great work on it at its alpha stage. look forward to the finished plugin with categories

Nice to get more players, is it closed source though?

[judge]

For anyone interested, as the code is originally based on GPL code, this plugin breaks all GPL licensing rules.
Attached is a decompiled version, free for anyone to edit, modify, release - with original credits (not currently added)

Please feel free to help the development, contribute where you can & keep it opensource.

Only part of an opensource plugin used in this one are links to content lists, that can easy be pulled using wireshark or other link grabber. While any modification to an opensource software needs to retain original licence, as far as i know if i build something from ground up using only this link then that's another thing... As i'm not really in to all this legal stuff correct me if i'm wrong...

[judge]

Not up to the legal stuff either, lots of reading on http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html
Why closesource it though even after saying 'Only part of an opensource plugin used in this one...'?

I am guessing, to make it harder for the provider to stop the links working.

After all it is not an official itv player plugin is it.

I think this links can't be and are not opensource! It's only distributed in compiled way to stop "bad guys" from "fixing" their servers thus rendering it unusable first and second to stop guys from taking my work and presenting it as theirs. This happened already more than once to me.

If source code was requested by someone i would gladly send it to him, wit all comments and other stuff, that gets striped in all this compile - decompile way.

It doesn't make it any harder for the provider to stop the links working in any way.

Links can never be closedsource, they are links, nothing more.
I'll gladly request the source code, please post here or anywhere else in public so anyone else can contribute/debug if they like.

Thanks for the github link, https://github.com/subixonfire/ITV-Player-E2-Plugin
Not sure why you want the decompiled file to be removed & not the original plugin files posted, but if a mod sees fit, I'm sure it will be.

ok done now.

argument over, still not sure what it was about. Thanks pheonix for removing offending download & respecting subixonfire wishes though.

Decompiled source will newer be original source... To me decompiling someones source shows disrespect to that person...
