[Closed] Another HTC Desire question- Beeb player and iplayer not working

does it work with a 3g connection?

I'll ask my mate if he knows of any probs with the desire (he made Beeb-player you see...)

DrP

Works fine on mine (Orange but usually run it from wifi).

I didnt think iplayer was developed yet for Android phones, I'm sure on the BBC website says its some thing they are currently developing.

I've been using beebplayer for a while and at first it worked fine. However now I can not watch the LIVE tv stuff it says failure to connect to the server. Recorded still works fine though, can't understand why it will no longer do live stuf..

There are comments about these problems on various forums with some suggested resolutions, but I got bored of reading...

in the latest update he said the live tv would no longer work 🙁 but 5 live does now though 🙂
Pass on my thanks DrP! Great program

Download "beebplayer" from the Android market.

ah I didn't read that when I updated !

Its a shame the live stuff wont work, I assume its to do with having TV licences?

no, it worked 2 weeks ago 🙁
Maybe the beeb have altered their website or something

does it work on the desire yet?

some stuff at the bottom of the iplayer downloader [url= http://po-ru.com/projects/iplayer-downloader/ ]page[/url] about recent problems (this programme simulates an iphone connection & BBC lets you d/l as MP4).

Maybe a general problem (or hurdle imposed by BBC)

also try "myplayer"

Myplayer seems to work well

I use myplayer. Seems to work well.

if you want to watch live tv, you can do so at [url= http://www.tvcatchup.com/ ]tvcatchup[/url]. I used to watch it on my desire.

If you upgrade to Android 2.2, assuming you can of course, you can just use iPlayer on the BBC website, as 2.2 has Flash working.

Or just use myplayer...

I updated to 2.2 today & I'm now able to watch beeb content, including stuff on the normal BBC site, although Iplayer only works on WiFi as the beeb only lets Vodaphone stream from 3G.
I previously used myplayer.
HTH.
