Guest sonofveritas Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 According to the BBC they will be releasing an app for BBC iPlayer on Android 2.2 later this week : BBC blog :P
Guest montage Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Looks interesting but the website also works fine
Guest rferrett Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Still this annouces you will be able to download and stack which isnt currently available to Android users. I am very pleased.
Guest Anton2k Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Looks interesting but the website also works fine Not for me any many others.... flash go's out of sync after about 35mins of video.... has been an issue from day one no ram / flahs update has fixed it. I would welcome this app but will it to hd? 720p?
Guest .logan Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 On the ipwd version you can set the quality, helps if you at the end of a 6km bit of copper like me.
Guest welshblob Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 Controls might be bigger too. Wouldn't mind a screen lock too
Guest Sir Gash Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 Not for me any many others.... flash go's out of sync after about 35mins of video.... has been an issue from day one no ram / flahs update has fixed it. I would welcome this app but will it to hd? 720p? You better not get your hopes up then as according to their blog, the Android app will still rely on Flash, unlike the iPad's MP4/Quicktime streams.
Guest Sanddancer75 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 It's on the Market now. I'm not fussed on the front end mind.
Guest Sanddancer75 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Nice one cheers It doesn't work!? I get a couple of seconds of video if I'm lucky. Edit - & typically it works now. Edited February 10, 2011 by Sanddancer75
Guest Minimonkey Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) It doesn't work!? I get a couple of seconds of video if I'm lucky. Edit - & typically it works now. Add this to home screen its better: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen Edit - got it working too after using task killer, app has better controls Edited February 10, 2011 by Minimonkey
Guest Sanddancer75 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) It's still flakey for me. The picture quality is pretty poor (when it works) too, & I can't see any way to change the quality setting like on my 32" Sony Vega (which looks really nice)? Another quibble is that the front end looks like it's been designed to be used in portrait mode until the video starts? Hopefully they're still working on it? Edit - I've found the quality settings. I'm just going to shut up now. Edited February 10, 2011 by Sanddancer75
Guest remlap Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Black space for me won't load maybe my build of flash that's optimised for tegra 2? Edit - Works now figured out I had broken flash during updating r8 yesterday. Edited February 10, 2011 by remlap
Guest andrewjones Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Still this annouces you will be able to download and stack which isnt currently available to Android users. I am very pleased. I see no ability to download anything using the app - I must assume this feature was either disabled or never included ...
Guest remlap Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 No playing in background for BBC Live Radio and live TV works actually better through BBC's site.
Guest Jisonga Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 I can't find this on the market on my vega. I did find it via the web based market but lists vega as not compatible so won't download. Any ideas on what to do next. Jason.
Guest Minimonkey Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 I can't find this on the market on my vega. I did find it via the web based market but lists vega as not compatible so won't download. Any ideas on what to do next. Jason. Just type in "iplayer" in market (worked for me)
Guest Jisonga Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 I have tried bbc, iplayer and also bbc iplayer and every time nothing. I have even done the get all apps on store trick but still no go, odd. Jason.
Guest Minimonkey Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 I have tried bbc, iplayer and also bbc iplayer and every time nothing. I have even done the get all apps on store trick but still no go, odd. Jason. Are you on the latest version of the market? latest custom rom?
Guest Jisonga Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 I am running Pauls R7 and i am using the market that was included. Did another check today and still no luck in finding it. Jason.
Guest Minimonkey Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 I am running Pauls R7 and i am using the market that was included. Did another check today and still no luck in finding it. Jason. You could try R8 or just use http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen that seems to work well and just add it to home screen/folder
Guest TylerDurdenK Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 This is working really well for me, both on prerecorded stuff and live TV. I have set the quality to high and it looks fab, and so far, no buffering.
Guest trevor432990 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Yes it's working nicely for me too. Someone mentioned earlier that downloading might be available but I can't see how to do that on this version am I missing something or is it still under development do you think?
Guest Burns Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 This is working really well for me, both on prerecorded stuff and live TV. I have set the quality to high and it looks fab, and so far, no buffering. I have it set to High quailty, does it look quite pixelated/upscaled to you in full screen mode?
