I’m not aware of any means by which that’d work. Basically I guess you’d need to be looking at probably needing a full install of OS X – rather than the cut-down version (I think Tiger-based) running on AppleTV, and then you’re basically really needing a Mac Mini.

Thanks for replying great to know you’re keeping an eye out for what people are saying on the plugin (oh, and great work on creating it btw). Interesting news on the higher quality version – I’ll look forward to seeing more on that.

I believe the window issue was a consequence of an issue I had with XBMC originally where it put options off-screen when I tested screen resolutions – and I figure I must have confirmed a wrong option. I SSH’d in and manually forced the resolution. Anyhow, when I updated Boxee recently it upset the remote for XBMC so I re-installed that – and needed to change the video settings again, and this time it worked. iPlayer now works fullscreen.

Have you tried getting EyeTV and a USB TV receiver running on your Apple TV?

I’m the author of the iPlayer XBMC plugin.

The plugin doesn’t use the iPhone streams at all, rather the higher-res streams used on the iPlayer website (Flash VP6) and the Wii site (Flash Wii). The difference between Flash VP6 and Flash Wii is negligible, but provided for completeness.

At the moment, the high-res, ‘high-quality’ H264 640×360 streams on the iPlayer website are not used as XBMC has problems accessing them, but hopefully this shall be resolved soon and there’ll be a significant jump in quality. (Issue 26: http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-iplayer/issues/detail?id=26 )

I’m also intrigued as to why the iPlayer streams are playing in a window, this isn’t something the plugin does, rather an oddity of XBMC itself, but I’ve never heard of it before.

e.g.

ln -s /Volumes/Media Video

Note to self, when Aaron says “just create a symbolic link”, just create a symbolic link. It works.
