    OnDemand plugin no longer works

    I've just noticed this evening that OnDemand no longer works on this box.

    It can get the list of programmes for iPlayer, ITVPlayer, etc., but when I try to actually view a programme the timer just sits on 0:00 with a blank screen.

    This was working fine a few weeks go (at some earlier Apollo version).

    Any ideas?

    I did un-install and re-install OnDemand, but it made no difference.

    I've just turned them on to test.
    There aren't any debug logs produced.
    The plugin doesn't crash or report any error: it just sits there with a blank screen and the front LED reporting 0:00.

    Usually if it's sits on a black screen it will report something in the debug log...

    Post a debug log if you want, we can't do anything without it though!

    Debug logs need a restart to be produced.

    Not according to the menu (there is no "*" against the option).

    So, if that is the case, that's a bug as well.

    PS: Just rebooted. It is the case...

    Here's the debug log

    File is attached.
    Note that the time-stamp is 01 Jan 1970, but presumably that's because it gets started before the clock is set?

    Basically it's shows "accel alloc failed" (although this is always reported after a PNG file is mentioned).

    I had tried a re-install of OnDemand, but after I updated to Apollo 070 (OD still not working) I did this.
    1. Remove OnDemand
    2. Re-image Apollo 070
    3. Restore backup
    4. Re-install OnDemand

    I now have ITV Player and 3Player working again. But not BBC iPlayer, for reasons elsewhere (the data feed no longer exists).
