while we welcome and acknowledge other modified or so called "DeVixed" versions of this plugin we can not offer support for those here as we have no involvement with their development.

The OE-Alliance OnDemand plugin is now available directly from the ViX image feeds meaning that with every image update you will get the very latest version of the plugin first before any one else does. all dependencies are built directly into the feeds so no need to run any telnet commands etc.

You will however have to delete any previous version first before you download the latest version from the feeds.

As the OE-Alliance OnDemand player is now live and in the image feeds i'm closing the BETA thread, this will now be the only official support thread for this plugin on the only official forum for the OE-Alliance OnDemand player.

please leave any comments, suggestions or bug reports in this thread and thank you as ever for your continued support of the ViX team and the OE-Alliance.

Hi

Would it be possible to tweek the viewer to show series in date order example on itv new series broadchurch has two episodes but the latest is at the top can that be changed so first episode is first then 2 - 3 etc under it

By the way good work by all thoses involved in this project making the vu a front runner in satellite technology

To be honest I dont think that would be a good idea. You can however access it via two clicks, ie blue button > ondemand. Or menu > ondemand

It looks like all of your attached logs are the same and I can only see an attempt to play a BBC iPlayer stream..

Anyway, for users outside of the UK the only streams we can play are source by Limelight. For the show you tried to play it doesn't look like a limelight stream was available as this is the error thrown:

Non UK Address
findPlayUrl: Non-UK and no limelight, return blank:

I suggest try and play a different show and see if that works for you on the iPlayer. As I can't see any details in the log for ITV Player I can't debug this fro you...

Hi All involved, this is a fantastic plugin much appreciated.

As a XBMC user I compared the HD quality on iPlayer on my XBMC machine compared to my Vu Solo 2 and can see a noticeable difference (I did make sure to select the high quality setting on the menu). I went to BBC HD and played the latest Top Gear episode. These are screenshots of both paused at about the same time, firstly the one from my Vu Solo 2:



And now the one from XBMC:



As you can see the one from XBMC seems to be a higher quality stream, whereas the one from the Vu Solo 2 is more like SD and has the logo sort of zoomed in.

Is there anyway to get the same HD streams in this plugin as on XBMC?
