Well, since my earlier postings I have had Triode's BBC iPlayer plug-in running almost solidly through the SqueezePlug and Duet. I have been picking programs from Radios 3, 4 and 6 and interspersing with a few FLAC files from my library. I particularly concentrated on running iPlayer in the 5-9pm

I would like to thanks all the people who brings the youtube plugin to life again. But i still have got the same problem. All songs are playing in low resolution (non-HD). What I have to do to get an HD quality? I have tried to add "&hd=1" in "my $url" in ProtocolHandler.pm but without any effect.

Thanks for the help. What puzzles me is why it worked so well for so long and only recently developed problems. There was no change in the system. The two RPi devices post-date the problem. Will the "no transcoding" option remove server differences and so the player ends up playing the highest
