BBC iPlayer

Hi one and all,
BBC iplayer 0.5 doesnot work anymore, neither works myplayer (gives an exception) and even the tweak with opera doesnot seem to work with 10.3 beta.
Is there any other way to play bbc iplayer apart from Skyfire.
Thank You.

have you tried this:
type "opera:config" in the web address bit on opera home page,when thats loaded,scroll down to "user prefs".open that then scroll down to "custom user-agent".delete whats in there(if there is anything) and then type in.....
HTC_Touch_HD_T8282
see if that does any good.....

what about the new version of the iplayer? Granted, I'm not in the UK, so I just download, but it works just fine.

MyPlayer version 1.200 is out now so try reinstalling and updating to it. That should clear your exception problem.

ESPN3 on g-tablet

With the installation of flash, I was hoping to be able to watch games streamed from ESPN3. When clicking a link to watch a live stream, the player window opens, but it remains blank.
I tried this on the stock browser, and on Firefox mobile (fennec). Anyone else tried it?
My g-tablet:
Stock Tap'nTap with 1.01 update
LauncherPro
Rooted

ESPN on g-tablet
You may want to verify that your flash setup is working properly. I also have Tnt 1.01 + flash (folio apk), and ESPN3 live streams work fine for me. I'm watching Boston College vs. Texas A&M right now. The only difference is that my gtablet is not rooted.

How might I do this?
Does it involve editing the stagefright setting in the build.prop file? I seem to recall something about this.
What browser are you using?

It works for me in Dolphin HD on TNTLite 2.0 with the Flash fix.

Go to the adobe flash website (search in google for Adobe - Flash Player
Once the website page is loaded, if it's working properly, the flash logo will appear and it will tell you flash is installed successfully.
I'm using the stock browser that comes with the gtablet.

OK.
I edited the first line of where "stagefright" is listed, in the build.prop file. I changed it to "false". I rebooted and started the default browser. ESPN3 streaming is now working. I will also try it in Firefox.

I want to say that the quality of the streamed video is great!
Since I am a Linux user, flash video in general sucked. Mainly because Adobe refuses to make a Linux version that has hardware acceleration. I have resorted to booting an old WinXP HTPC that I have, when I need to watch a game on ESPN3. That picture was OK, with occasional hiccups. The video on the g-tablet is about the same. Since this is Linux based, I did not expect it.
Still haven't tried it on Firefox.

The video window still remains blank on Firefox Mobile. I guess it is a Firefox issue, not a g-tab or Android issue.
Does anyone know what the default browser is? I heard that it may be the Google Chrome browser. I installed Google Chrome on my Atom based netbook, but the video is horribly choppy. If I could install OpenOffice/LibreOffice on the tablet, the netbook would be history!

[Q] How do you download BBC iplayer programs, (old) myplayer only lets me stream

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,

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] BBC iplayer lip-sync loss after JB

Is it just me or has the sound/picture sync been lost from BBC iplayer - running Flash on Stock Browser in JB?

I was finding that even on ICS. Seemed to have been anything using Flash that did it.
Using TVCatchup on JB I get a just perceptible sync error, but far better than Flash.

Iplayer definitely had lip sync issues on ICS as well.

Ah, I've only used the tf700 on JB; there were no sync issues on ics with the tf201.

I just tried it out. I'm finding it's off about half a second. I remember it being a bit more off on ICS.
On side note, apparently the BBC updated things and now need the BBC Media Player. I just don't get why the BBC iPlayer just launches the browser to the iPlayer website. At least on the inifinity. I haven't tried on the phone for a while, but it didn't do that on the Evo 4G.

Just checked on my old tf201 now running Jb and there are no iplayer lip-sync issues. A real bummer that the infinity is worse. Maybe it's the HD screen?

could be. Maybe flash player too. Flash Player works on the infinity, but it's really quirky. A lot times when I go to full screen, it gives sound, but no audio. I get that on MotoGP and a few other sites. WatchESPN seems to work ok, which uses it as well.
