[Q] How do you download BBC iplayer programs, (old) myplayer only lets me stream - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, I've been reading about this for ages and trying to find an answer but can't work it out. I've installed an old myplayer apk, but it only lets me stream iplayer wheras I remember I used to be able to download BBc stuff... which is what i want to do as I'm going on holiday tomorrow! Anybody know how to do this?
Cheers,

YouTUBE on HTC S710

I know you have all been through this before but I need to know once and for all: Can I watch youTUBE or ANYtube videos on my phone?
My phone won't install Flash 7 and Flash Lite seems to not work either. I've tried HTC Streaming Media and that has not worked and CorePlayer will not install on my phone as well.
Am I forgetting to carry the one somewhere or is this a lost cause?
Kinoma freeplay can do this. The free version only shows 6 movies per hit but the full version you can watch everything on youtube

Hmph.
Let me try this one out. Thanks champ
Okay. I think we're going somewhere.
I got it and installed it and yet when I click on a video it gives me a 'Forbidden protocol 403' error.
Where to from here?
hmm thats strange, it worked fine for me on WIFI (gprs too, but very very slow!)
Do you have another app installed wich changes something with you internet connection?
Ummm.....what do you mean?
I'm not sure if this answers your question but I have a gang load of players installed: TCMP, YouTube Play (which also doesn't want to play), vTap, HTC Streaming, Kinoma.
I've been trying to solve this since Friday and to be honest, I see no reason that inspires me (more obsesses me) than pure 'I HAVE to win with this dammit!'
Some fools never learn it appears.
Oo!
Wait. Does it make a difference whether I install these programs on my device or MicroSD card?
I've installed them on the memory card because my phone *****es at me about memories.
On that subject, my OperaMobile also hangs on me. It seems this software doesn't like me. I think it's because I'm South African c",)
Try Skyfire, a browser with flash support. It'll play any flash content!
vtap
its surprising no one mention about vtap...its free and and no hassle..
www.vtap.com
I tried vTap and was unsuccessful with that one too

Watching TV on the HD2 (UK)

Hi there,
Does anyone know of any good sites I can watch live tv on my HD2?
Perhaps including satellite channels..
Thanks in advance..
The best site I have found so far, is http://www.tvcatchup.com
BUT you need to use Skyfire as your browser as it needs flash support.
Seems to work nice, it does quite a few channels, but it is a live service, so what you see is what is actually broadcasting on that channel now.
You should actually need a TV license for it, as it is live.
thanks thats great
i'll try this later, cheers.
For the basic channels (including the world cup games) use myplayer, one of the best programs available for the hd2 imho - also has iplayer, premiership matches (not live) catch up (4OD,5 etc.) and pay stuff.
ye myplayer is ace

Im gonna use it to watch the match tonight when im in work
I cant get anything to work for tonights game... myplayer, opera ... i installed flashlite too... nothing...
Try this...

You need to register (free) but it works a treat.
myplayer works fine for me!
http://www.skynetsoftware.com/myPlayer/index.aspx
It does say that you'll need Coreplayer installed as well to watch the Live TV though!
¹ CorePlayer is required to view the Live Digital TV (UK) streams

You don't actually need coreplayer for the live tv. Just set the digital tv quality to std or low on the options menu and then u can using streamingplayer or wmp - which needs to be set as ur rtmp player.

I wrote a guide about that!
Does anyone know of a way to watch 4OD?
Thats pretty much the only thing I want to watch on the move and Its one of the few things I cant get working.
Myplayer doesnt show it in any lists unless Im missing something. Was it removed from the latest version of myplayer? I ask that because Ive seen more than a couple of people state that 4od is included in myplayer.
Do the old versions of myplayer still have working 4od?
Any other way to watch it?
Skyfire just gives me a black screen when I try to watch any of the 4od streams.
Anyone got this working at all???

Download web FLV is posible?

Hello, I´m searching but don´t find nothing that works. Is there any way to download videos from youtube, ustream etc.. or on any web that have flv videos?
As an alternative could be used an app to capture the screen?
Thanks in advance.
google policy on web vid downloading
Hey man
I've been trying real hard to find an app like the one you're tryin t'find..
So far nothin, due to google policy.
If there'd be any, it's unofficial and risky

Can't play episodes downloaded from BBC iPlayer (sideloading).

Hi guys.
Whenever I download episodes from BBC iPlayer to watch later, they never play back on my HTC Sensation (but they do on other devices like my Galaxy Tab).
I'm not even sure if HTC devices are supported:
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/mobile_iplayer/mobile_phone
Is there a fix or workaround for this? Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue - the Beeb bascially don't support Android for watching anything downloaded. I'm missing my HD2 now.....
Hi,
Try:
http://m.tvcatchup.com/
Also:
http://www.firstrowsports.tv/sport/american-football.html
Not quite the same ,but worth a look,and it works well on mobile network.
Try using MX video player from the market.
Not sure what format the iplayer downloads are in.

[Q] watching streams on web

Hello everyone,
this is my first tablet and I had purchased for play games and watch movies and sports.
I really don't know if this it's happening just to me or if someone else has discovered the same thing. When I install flash player (to see tv on net) in portals of streaming which requires flash player, the navigators doesn't work, the screen display just white.
I really want to love this tablet, but if I can see streaming.. I really dont know what to do...
please help me if anyone knows what can I do to display flash content in this lovely monster..
Flash Player hasn't been supported by Android in quite some time now. It never worked in Chrome. It was only supported by the old Android native browser which is not present on the Shield Tablet.
Just go download the .apk file from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installing-flash-player-android-devices.html

What are the sites you are trying to use? I know most streaming sites I use utilize HTML5 and doesn't require flash to work correctly.
Ok I visit drakulastream to watch soccer, and ESPN play, fox sports play
ok I found the solution, I had tried with different browsers and finally it was PUFFIN the one who saved my life.
If you people want to do the same which I want to, so I recommend that you download this browser.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmosa.puffin&hl=es-419
Of course you can search for the free version on the web.
Thanks to all...
