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

Ah, so you don't see logos for BBC Scotland and Wales either.

It's real - just they are cached all over the network which means it takes time for the problem to become apparent

I believe that some of the logos still require updating in menu.opml, this may account for some of the findings. Other findings may be cache related.

I've made the attached modifications to menu.opml locally, all seems to be working. I don't think that there any more to be done... (E&OE)

The latest works for me. Thanks!

One minor query. I moved these plugins to the My Apps menu, since I never used any of the other options in the Radio menu, and removed the radio plugin, but one item remains in the Radio menu, 'Tune In URL'. Does anyone know if this can be removed, and hence hopefully don't get the Radio main menu item?

This is really a topic for "Developers" forum not BBCiPlayer.

I think the plugin that creates the "Tune-in URL" menu item is Slim/Plugin/InteernetRadio but I think even if you change the code to move to Apps then Radio menu would remain. I've a gut feeling that some top level menu items are "static".

Yes, I know. A bit cheeky of me - sorry. It was just that the ability to move your plugins from one menu to the other made me think.

I suspect so. Thanks anyway.

Many, many thanks bpa. Once again you have, by some magic, restored my possibility for listening to BBC iPlayer and iPlayer extra. Your help in keeping it all running is invaluable. I just needed to update to the latest LMS version and it was once again smiles all round. Thank you.

A new LMS platform looks like its required then.

I tried shutting down the LMS, rebooting the NAS, uploading and installing the latest i386 ReadyNas LMS which at least as far as the ReadyNas is concerned worked, it says "The Logitech Media Server add-on has been successfully installed." in the ReadyNas log, and despite another ReadyNas reboot, LMS can't be reached.

This is where I got this time last year. The LMS server log shows
2019-04-05 15:10:03 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.

Which takes me over to this thread from last year, and the need for the root userid/password. Sigh.

Just to confirm that I built a new LMS to replace 10-year old LMS running on a ReadyNas NVX and all my iPlayer and BBC stuff is working again. I can't say how thankful I am for the work that you put in on this BPA.

For anyone else considering building a new LMS platform that doesn't want to use a Linux distro, I bought a Dell Optiplex Ultra Small Form Factor 380, with 4Gb of memory, a genuine Windows license, for $36 + $20pp from ebay. It's working like a champ and is much faster and more responsive than the ReadyNas. With Windows 10 now including a Remote Desktop facility, I stuck it down in the basement and can login from anywhere on the lan to do maintenance.

As you on the latest version of the plugin? This has been an issue recently but the Radio 4 logo should appear in the latest plugin with only Radio Scotland and Wales missing.

Your example seeks to obtain a logo for 'bbc_radio_fourfm'. This no longer works, and was replaced by 'bbc_radio_four' in bpa's recent update.

As the logo URL is embedded in an iPlayer URL, I'm guessing that you are using an "old" favourite or preset, which still has the "old" 'bbc_radio_fourfm' embedded in it.

Perhaps you just need to re-save your favourites/presets. Just a thought.
