Good one. I'm looking forward to trying this. Might it be possible to specify a RSS feed (news feed) and download multiple items in one go?
EDIT: The sound plays back through the earpiece on my SGSII. Also, the app can't be exited using the back button. Have to use home button and manually kill. I also got a few FCs.
The application works well though

a little trick i've been using for a few weeks to enable listening to offline bbc radio shows
extremely easily. works for PC users with android, blackberry & ithings via Dropbox.
Radio Downloader allows you to subscribe and download any BBC iPlayer radio content or
RSS podcasts. Simply set the download target to the Dropbox folder and the content will be
available on your mobile device for download & offline listening.
links
Radio Downloader (pc only) | Dropbox Account (2.25gb free*) | Dropbox Apps
* - you'll get an extra 250mb on top of the standard 2gb cloud storage using this link.
since this is a multi-OS topic i guessed this is the best place to post.
That's a rather good idea
that's the same crap as using the BBC player to play the contents directly
if you are able to download stuff from dropbox account
might as well just download the show directly to your phone
why go through so much trouble to accomplish the same thing?

To my knowledge you can't save what you're listening to with the iplayer app (on phone or PC).
So for instance if I want to listen to the Now Show or the News Quiz, or even Any Answers, I can do so when I'm on the tube in London.
I've missed so many good programs simply because I'm not near a radio/computer at the time that they're on.
@AllGamer.
because this method allows you to play content offline & as far as i'm aware the iplayer doesn't allow you to download unencrypted content - or any at all on the android app.

Perfect app!! Thanks!
Will this app disappear soon? Also does this still download the video and hide it, or does it only download the music part and not download the video part? For data usage purposes that is.
This app didn't disappear soon, Next Tube did not download any things, it play the song from YouTube on line.

It plays the video via WebView so it streams the video. The app is basically a WebView within an app that links to YouTube.
You can run WebViews in background as well hence why the music playback doesn't stop until you kill the app.
The sad part is the OP is making money off the application even though he didn't do anything besides create a WebView that connects to a URL.
i Wanted this App So bad

Hi! I'm Jamie, A 13 year-old App developer. I've created a application recently that I want to share with all of you on XDA! It's called Audio Web and it's now available on the Play Store . The App allows you to visit your favourite video streaming sites and allow you to lock the phone or close the app by pressing background, Once you've done this the audio continues playing and best of all it doesn't require root! I would love it if you could check it out and send me bugs to me on this thread or via e-mail at: [email protected]
I would be very grateful, Thanks.
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apps_by_jam.jaywa.audioweb&hl=en_GB
(Due to me not able to post links please copy and replace dash with '.' between google and com)
Known issues with Galaxy S1 - S3 series.
Powerful phone recommended with plenty of resources or else the audio will stutter in background mode (It shouldn't in lock mode unless your phone is really low spec)
By The way let me explain what the buttons do.
The Text view bar at the top is where you can type your web address.
The 'Go' button is set to load the page in the textview
The 'Set Main Page' button sets the current page you're on to the home page
The 'Background' Button Closes the app while the audio continues.
The 'Load Main' Button loads the homepage where ever you are in the app.
The ' Go Back' Button loads the previous page you visited.
The 'Mute/Un Mute' Button disables or enables the audio of the current video playing.
Hope you enjoy and please remember to contact me if there's any issues!

Do you really want to tell me, that there is need to download application for doing such easy action? Youtube has added the possibility to download all you need directly from the site. Moreover, there is always possibility to download audio and video using youtube into mp3 converter in such situation, when youtube doesn't allow to do it directly from it. Hope, you will understand now, that this application is useless.

Hi Forg, thanks for the feedback. Downloading via the YouTube app is only supported in select countries.
You could copy/paste the video URL to a website, however some prefer apps like this which make the process a little quicker/more convenient.

Mobile video player in browser doesn't work

Hi everyone. I have a problem with build-in video player in Chrome.
For such sites, as m.youtube.com it's work correctly and looks like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

It worked for site yummyanime.club as too.
But some days ago video player suddenly stopped working on this site in Chrome and other browsers. Instead, the video is played in the same player as on the computer (although I use a mobile version of the site). It looks like this:
It is inconvenient player on my phone. I want to use a player like in the first screenshot. I was surprised when I opened this site on my other old phone, and there this mobile player works:
In short, the problem is this: the mobile video player suddenly stopped working on a certain site on my new phone. This is a problem for all browsers. But on my old phone, everything works fine.
About system in old(correctly work) and new phone(have bug) accordingly:
So, main question is how to fix this problem and enable mobile video player? But I will be grateful for any information about this: how this mobile player work, does it have any settings, related links and so on.
1. Type "chrome://components/" into your address bar in Chrome.
2. Scroll down to Adobe Flash Player.
3. Click the Check for update button.
1. Type "chrome://settings/content" in the address bar in Chrome.
2. Scroll down to and click the Flash option.
......
Hope this would be helpful for you.
