2.86 in -current ports works for streaming live radio for me (takes a little while to start up but gets there after a while). Streaming recorded tv also works fine. No tv license at my current address so I can't check streaming live tv, maybe I'll try it when I'm visiting someone. > Our port is the latest release. > > But have a look at what has changed between v2.86 and git's master: > > https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/compare/v2.86...master > > In particular, commits like "Updated SWF player URL" and "fix schedule > URLs and channel names" look suspicious... I'll pull them across but doubt they'll change anything. The latter is just name tweaks for consistency in most cases, some minor other changes but not in anything particularly important. SWF player URL is usually for swf verification and problems there usually exhibit themselves as starting off OK but then failing after downloading for a while.
