iPlayer WWW

The BBC are dropping iPlayer support for our Panasonic TV so I thought install iPlayer WWW on my Kodi on Dell Optiplex i5. I first installed on a RPi 4 version of Kodi and it works well but it fails installation on the Dell.

The Dell is running LibreElec generic 12.0 - anyone know if iPlayer WWW should run on this or do I need to upgrade Kodi or will it not work even on 12.2.1?

I've not run LE12.x images for a long time, but it works fine for me on current LE13 (Generic) nightlies. You'll need to share a Kodi debug log that shows clean boot then installation failure for anyone to comment.

Thanks, I'll try installing from the nightlies now I know someone has it working. Here's hoping you don't hear back from me

iPlayer WWW works for me on LibreElec generic 12+ also on my LibreElec generic 13

Upgrades from 12.0 to 12.2.2 and it works (had to upgrade the version of my slightly modded skin) - all I need now is something similar for ITV Hub. I've had a look at ViwX but unlike iPlayer WWW I'm not impressed.

Your options are ViwX, ViwX, or ViwX .. so best to warm up to the idea of using it.

Or install LE13 and use one of the browser addons to stream from the website - you'll need a keyboard and mouse though.

so long,

OK, since there's such a magnificent choice you've talked me into it

Interesting thought
