hi, i've an optimus 7 E900, if i set the region in Italian I can not see youtube videos on a web page, but if i set the region in English (United States) the plugin works correctly.
so, I can change any registry key to resolve the problem?
sorry for bad english, i'm italian
Yeah i aske the support guys they said there was no plan for an app update of the youtube app yet... But they said they reported the bug. And Ill ask in a few weeks what the status is. It should be peanuts to fix it for MS but now its just very sloppy, and they should not work like this if they want Nokia to do well, they should test the phones and apps on all languages and regions.
But just wait and see they will take care of it Im sure

this nt change a thing for embedded youtube vids... As of now there are only watchable when region formatting is set to en-us... M.youtube.com does work, just the embedded vids dont.
I'm in the US and i still can't get the youtube app to work on embedded videos.
Youtube embedded doesn't work for me either on ATT with my surround pre and post nodo.
Embedded Youtube works for me on the default IE. Everything, except system locale, needs to be set to English US through the settings. Then a restart is needed.
This is very annoying.

It has just been released to the market....but only plays back over Wifi.
Just wondering whether it would be possible to spoof the app into believing that the route was Wifi when it was actually 3G?
Cheers
If I could see it on the market it would be a start.
Running TastyGingerbread 2.0 on my Hero
Here's the link
https://market.android.com/details?id=bbc.iplayer.android
i cant install it on my cm7 powered g2. doesnt show up in market.
We need someone to post the original apk.
Or we also need someone to fool it into not caring what country it's in. Haha
A friend with a stock UK HTC Desire HD just installed it and sent me the link .. it doesn't show up for me.
If anyone can post the apk would be great full
Here you go...

It installs itself to /data/app/
I've tried it out, it works but the sound is out of sync for me.
Also is there any chance that the Iplayer app could be spoofed into thinking it was in the UK even though you are in the US

This.
Might we be able to remove it's check for location?
Or is it using the same check the website uses, and since we can't edit the website, we can't do this?
Thank GOD the BBC have finally done it!! Downloading now
Woah is it that bad? 2 and a half star rating!
APK if needed: http://db.tt/CgCD9fu
The WiFi check is done locally in the application - which is really just a fancy interface around a flash player.
If you know how to edit an APK, you need to edit bbc/iplayer/android/util/ConnectivityStatus.smali, changing line 126 from return v2 to return v4
v4 contains the wifi connection type value so the app will always think you're connected via wifi.
Hey Zibby,
Any chance you can post the mod'd apk?
doesnt work for me.. im in florida (usa) only works within the uk.. any fix for this?
so this doesnt work in the us?
Out currently doesn't work in the US but hopefully the smart folks at xda will figure a way around that

Will post it later today when i have some time - it appears the UK check is done "locally" too. I *think* it sends a request to the BBC and that returns if the IP is in the UK or not. Question is, do the BBC protect the streams or not? (Can anyone outside the UK access the streams?)
EDIT: It seems my modified iplayer app continues to download what you were watching if you just press the back button to "exit" out of the app and churns through the data - can someone check a non-modified version to see if it does it too?

Just had a look using droidstats, and it does appear that the app does the same over wifi. My wifi data usage pretty much stopped when I killed Iplayer.
Just wondered if any progress has been made with this?

I'm guessing iPlayer doesn't protect streams as my cousin, using a VPN, is able to stream iPlayer to the UAE. Hope this helps.
Just testing this on the Tab on WiFi.
The quality is superb. Works perfectly so far
Top Job BBC !!
Will have to try it here on the USA, i am running JME European rom. Lets see if i get denied access sin i am not in the UK.
Hopefully it will work for you.
Def gonna be one of my most used apps
Well what do you know, i can't find it on the market. Can you share the .apk with us?
EDIT: i have tried using market enabler but still can't find it on the market, i need a UK provider or the .apk

I have to disagree - it's a massive fail in the scheme of things!
The iPad streams are better quality than the Flash streams we have to put up with, and the BBC could easily make them compatible with all Android devices.
In addition, not being able to use the app over 3G is poor when you consider that you can from the "web" client.

Dave

i agree with you in regards to only having it on wifi, they should update it to be able to use it via 3g but then again if you are trying to view videos they would work better on wifi than 3g but but its early on Android so we will have to wait and see..
I have watched 2 programmes and they have worked flawlessly.
I am well happy.
The apk is attached

Yes, but I'd rather have the option of watching a slightly lower quality stream over 3G, than no stream at all when you're not near a WiFi hotspot.
The irony is that there were 2 perfectly good 3rd party iPlayer solutions (BeebPlayer and myPlayer) that did (and still do!) work over both 3G and WiFi using the 3GP streams intended for Nokia phones, but the BBC had them removed from the Market.
What they have replaced them with is a Flash based solution which only works on ARM7 class devices thus shutting off a good percentage of Android users.

Dave

Well as i imagined it did not work, it installs and all but the i get the dreaded message "BBC iPlayer is only available within the United Kingdom". Oh well it was worth a try.
Just tested it with a MiFi and it plays fine. I can only get 3G where i live but there didnt seem to be any problems.

is there anyway to get this working outside the uk?
we can trick the market app with marketenabler, can we do the same with this?
can anyone send me there uk service provider id number, the thing that gets changed in the market enabler, so i can try it out?

There is a way, it's called VPN, but it's hard to find a free UK VPN. Most of them are paid VPNs.
and do these vpns work over 3g?

I agree that the ipad version stream is higher quality than the Android. Bit pissed off with the beeb for that... also as mentioned there are some oddities with presentation when using it on the tab. Hopefully these things will be addressed soon. Not a bad first effort though, and useful for the live tv feed if nothing else.

can anyone help with keeping the iplayer app running?
On my 10.1, it opens a web browser. When i play something like a radio program, you need to keep on that page. If you navigate away from the page or even lock the tablet, the iplayer stops. This means you have to just leave the tablet displaying the page your listening too. This will obviously run down the powqer quicker. Surely you can multitask on the 10.1?
Does anyone know how to redirect YouTube links to the HTC YouTube App versus the Microsoft YouTube app? Figure its sone file association in the reg but not sure where to look.
Sent from my Samsung Focus using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
It's pretty easy to change the redirect itself. The relevant key is HKCR\vnd.youtube, which defines a URI handler (the way the redirect works is that when YouTube's servers see the WP7 browser user-agent, they send links like "vnd.youtube:<video ID>" which WP7 then opens in the YouTube app). Changing two registry values under that key, replacing the App ID of the YouTube app with the ID of the HTC app, would make those links open in the HTC app.
The problem is that the HTC app doesn't expect to be opened this way, so it won't check for command line parameters. Instead, it'll just open as though you'd selected it from the app list. This probably isn't the behavior you're hoping for.
Sure isn't... makes me wonder why Microsoft force/locked the app to their default browser and then handicapped it to a poor and useless existance.... I assume we are stuck with this situation with all the YouTube apps including SuperTube?

Thanks for this explanation... so at the moment is quite impossible for us to make this association between the browser youtube links and htc youtube app... WP7 makes me angry sometimes, it's so nice in some aspects but makes you feel powerless when you try to do even basic stuff with it.

New Google Videos app today lets you rent movies
but playback won't work on rooted devices, which are most of our devices
Is there anyway to disable the check (like that was done on the Netflix app)
Here it is:
http://hotfile.com/dl/121184492/69bc78b/com.google.android.videos-1.apk.html
EDIT:
WARNING: Trying to playback from the Videos app itself seems to be freezing Tab, atleast for me (im in canada) but it works thru browser as described below)
Original message:
Guys its working for me, even tho rooted (some people can't playback cause it will say you are rooted, if it works, then great)
how?
After renting from the video app (install manually above)
go to 'market.android.com/movies
and play it from there, itll play in the browser
if u get desperate, get Dolphin Browser, make ur UA String desktop, and go to youtube.com/movies and watch it there
(Flash needs to be installed ofcourse)
Cool thing is im doing this on the wifi samsung tab 10.1 (officially only xoom), installed the apk manually
should be possible...
could u put up the app here so i can have a look at it?
All the security checks are actually done in YouTube.apk. that apk is so obfuscacted, all I can say is good luck. However, it may just do a simple call to ro.secure

Somewhat relatedly, has something gone wrong with the official XDA app? Its push notifications stpped working a few months ago for me, and when I try to set them up now it says it can't connect. Anybody else having this problem, or should I just reinstall the app?
Have just searched and installed official XDA app within the UK:
As a long time user of XDA, it's great value at just 79p (£0.79)
Same here. Also everytime I open the app it asks if I want to receive push notifications. Doesn't matter what my settings are, it always asks when opening. And while we're at it, when is this app going to get a BADLY needed update?

Dammit... I guess it's a server-side issue then. For a long time, it was the only app I used the toast notifications for (I typically get several PMs every day now, and it was very handy to get a notification and preview of them without needing to check the website).
Oh well... anybody know who might be responsible for this, and could possible get it working again? Aside from lacking the notifications, the app is great.
The WP7 app was written by someone from http://www.pocketpc.ch/forum/ but I can't find any reference or app thread on that forum The only one thing I've found: official app is a special version of Board Express application, you may try Board Express forum: http://www.board-express.com/forum/index.php
