i player

[Guest TonyOne]

I first android device was the advent vega, which I am using the modaco rom, works great and thanks for all the hard work.

Now I have a San Francisco, also modaco rom r12. This works pretty well too.

However I have noticed that on the market place I can not find the BBC I Player, the same one that I have on the Vega.

Should I be able to install this on the phone or not?

For me the R12 is pretty good, if the phone is not in use for say five minutes, it does not appear to log back onto the wifi, I just turn wifi off and back on again to

make it log on.

In most cases when I finish using the wifi, I do turn it off anyway to save battery life, so not really a big problem.

I will look for a wifi on and off wigit later.

Thank you again for this site and all the effort.

Kind regards

Tony

So then, who's gonna be the first to tell him!!!

Ill do it:

The San Fransisco has an ARM 5 chip.

Flash (Adobe) does not support ARM5 Chips (they start at ARM6)

BBC iPlayer requires Flash (Adobe) to be installed.

Until Adobe change their supported chipsets - application that depend on it being installed will not work/be listed.

you can use skyfire browser on zte blade to watch iplayer, works fine. but it lags a little bit for live streams.

[Guest IronDoc]

Visit the other iplayer thread and dl myplayer or beebplayer.

It's an ARM11 CPU with ARMv6 architecture.

Hi all, thanks for the info. I had an acer 900 no flash either but there was an app that used the iphone stream, think it was called core or something like that.

look in market for myplayer , works fine as iplayer

[Guest Maz2011]

None of these apps (apart from Skyfire) provide access to the BBC Listen Again radio, except for a very limited number of titles. Skyfire provides access to all of them, but only by navigating the horribly ugly and cluttered iPlayer website.

Personally I have given up completely for the time being with the BBC's stupid Flash system for audio and instead I use a Windows programme called Radio Downloader to automatically download the programmes I want to listen to in mp3 format and then I just pop them onto the SD card and play them back using Astra Player (this has a proper automatic bookmark function for mp3 files, which of course is vital for radio programmes). Works perfectly and requires no intervention at all, apart from the actual transfer of the files to the SD card (and I do that whilst the phone is on charge).

Now if someone could port Radio Downloader to Android, that would be really worthwhile.

I did install the version from the market, but did not show bbc. I found another thread on this forum where some one posted an older

version of my player, this does work very well with BBC.

Thanks..

I did try this, but it says download Flash, so did not work for me.

but the older version of myplayer does work..

If you want to listen to radio then get TuneIn radio.

this works with just about everything, I tried radio 4, it works.

I tend to use it to listen to Maltese radio, as I am Maltese. This app works better than the reciva radio app I purchased for my Iphone 3G.

SkyFire does work, guaranteed. It is the only way I know of getting all the BBC ListenAgain radio programmes directly on the Blade. When you get to the BBC page for the programme you want to listen to, look for the little icon (not part of the page) bottom-left that says "play". Click on that. You may need to turn on the setting in SkyFire that scans for media. There is a tutorial also.

I tried TuneIn but it does not work for ListenAgain BBC radio programmes, apart from an extremely limited number. For live radio it is fine: many other apps also do live radio, but none do the full ListenAgain schedule.
