BBCiPlayer V1.6 (and higher) & BBCiPlayerExtra 2.0 (and higher) Support

[coyrls]

Hmm, forums stopped sending me emails sometime during covid lockdown and I didn't notice since my LMS is temporarily out of action. I've unwatched and re-watched this thread, and posting this, so hopefully it'll start emailing me again.

Hasn't worked for me. I tried the same but still don't get notifications any more.

This is not a BBCiPlayer plugin issue. Make it a general topic in the General Discussion forum and you'll get a wider audience who can probably help.

Release notes for BBCiPlayer V1.6.10

- Bug fix so that older SB player UI VFD type displays show live track / program information on 2nd line when no other UI (e.g. WebUI on same player) is open. This bug was introduced in 1.6.9.

- Small feature. Finer control over which max DASH stream data rate.

Hi

Live BBC iPlayer feeds just die (and pretty much bring down LMS) after playing for about 2 mins

I get loads of these messages

Plugins::BBCiPlayer::BBCOnAir::__ANON__ (236) error fetching RadioPlayer BBC data while playing so try fetching again
Plugins::BBCiPlayer::BBCOnAir::__ANON__ (214) error fetching BBC segments data while playing so try fetching again

in the server log

Non-live streams work fine

Some sysinfo:

At the moment, lots of "weird" internet service problems (e.g. timeout, error in connection) have been caused by https support as services are requiring the use of up to date SSL/TLS. At the same time LMS has had updates to support https.

IO::Socket::SSL V2.049 is from 2017 !


1. Can you update your LMS to at least 7.9.3
2. Can you make sure your packages libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ssleay-perl are up to date.
3. What OS are you running ? If it is Raspbianj - you shoudl eb able to up date it so that IO::Socket::SSL is at version 2.06

Hi

Thanks for the reply - I've updated to 7.9.4 (same as .3 really), updated to latest IO::Socket::SSL (2.068) and did an apt upgrade-full (I'm on Raspbian Jessie)

It's definitely better but is still dying after about 5 minutes now

Is there anything else I can check?

Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob, why are still on Jessie ?

I run LMS on Buster without a problem, before that on Stretch and Jessie (but Jessie was 2015-17 and now obsolete )

How is it better ? Are there different / fewer message in server.log ? Are the BBCOnAir message still in the log ?



I run LMS on Pi on Buster with IO::Socket::SSL at 2.060 and it works OK.

What are you BBCiPlayer Settings ?
Are you using Favorites ?
Are you in the UK ?
If you are not in the UK are you using a VPN oir SmartDNS ?
