Not sure if this has been asked before, but is there are way to integrate the BBC IPlayer into Windows Media Centre?

Either via a plug-in or via a media centre browser?  I am only really interested in using the streaming versions of the media.

Not at all ;-)  I have already read this and it relates to using the Iplayer download manager to play content to externders.

I want to use the streaming verison i.e the version at the link http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

In terms of Windows Media Center, the download based version is the best way to experience BBC iPlayer.

 

If you want to use the streaming version, you may have some luck with a plug in for Media Center that is just a web browser.

 

I don't know what ones there are though, so you'll need to look for one on this site.

You could use the Web Media plugin if you had the URL's of the BBC streams. I was toying with the idea of really looking in to this until I realised you can't access BBC iPlayer media from outside the UK. Would have been nice to use it whilst living abroad later this year.

you can use it abroad by proxying (with a vpn or by http) to the service. If the BBC site "sees" a UK ipaddress it assumes you're in the uk.

 

Hopefully by now you have noticed the add-in here;
