    I have retitled your thread.

    Confirmed here on Apollo 64. Working fine on PC. Nothing of use in debug logs.

    Although for me, none of the OnDemand players work - they only show menus.

    Because as Mcquaim said the feeds we were using have been removed by the BBC, the others you are referencing are officially licensed versions of the Iplayer and as such dont use these now deleted feeds, which is why they still work.

    Fixed my problem by:
    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 noted in this thread,.

    Don't 99.9% of households in the UK already pay for the license? I was under the impression that Iplayer works for those who connect to the BBC feeds with a UK IP address, hence thats why all the other IPlayer applications mentioned in this thread still work.

    Thats nothing to do with it, as said the BBC have deleted the feeds we were using in our plugin, without them or other suitable feeds there is nothing we can do about it.

    Also, the main developer to thank for this plugin lives in Ireland so might not always be able to implement BBC/UK changes.
    If it can be done, I'm sure it will be, a bit of patience & lots of free time from anyone developing is hopefully all that's needed.
    Haven't read the new BBC terms on using their shows for OnDemand services though.

    Hi All
    The BBC have launched a new API called Nitro. When you try to acces one of the old links used by OnDemand you are sent here http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/retirement.xml which tells us what has happened. I'm wondering if it is possible for rogerthis (the devloper listed on the source code) or Andy (who I thought was the developer) to perhaps have a look at this. I shall have a nose around and see what can be done but I don't reckon my knowledge of python is up to the task.

    The BBC also have mor einformation here http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/tv/feeds and here is the API link https://developer.bbc.co.uk/nitro
    Cheers
