Most of you probably now know that Flash Player has been stopped, which has forced BBC to create a new player for it's content. Now, seen as this is obviously not flash, you'd expect the BBC to have some sense and compile this for armv6. <br /><br />And as you can see by the title, we have in fact been forgotten about again.<br /><br />Thoughts

Yeah. Depends on whether it is a lib or just a small thing which can be worked around like Google Now. I suspect a lib :(

If you like my work or if I helped, click the Plus button.

Just had a look at the system log.

Any guess what the suspect is? (It's really easy!)

Yes, there is an armv6 version, but it is not 100% compatible it seems. Have issues with other Air apps.

Then there's a chance this could be fixed by editing the app data, and swapping libs, do you have a link for it?

I think that's a hoax. It didn't work with the Belgian television streaming app anyway. It's almost as if Adobe is pushing their software to every television company. It's about time Adobe realizes that stuff like Flash and Air are unnecessary.

Agreed, Adobe need to get out of the mobile scene quickly, I don't think they've yet to realise that HTML5 beats every aspect (except DRM) of Flash and Air.

And especially, do the BBC really need DRM? They're free. I'm going to email them and ask why use Air.

The whole iplayer experience hugely unpleasant at the best of time.  Simpler really, to use get_iplayer, download at your leisure and into a format that is h/w playback compatible on your device.
