Hi,
Has anyone tried to get the new BBC flash based iPlayer working ? I believe you will need to be in the UK to try this.
I know opera (including new beta) does not support streaming flash video yet, has anyone else got a work around ie cut and paste the streaming link into another player ??
Does anyone know if opera are planning to add this feature and if so when.
Any help, suggestions or insights would be appreciated.
Have you tried this already? http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/
Maybe it works...
No i have not tried this yet due to get my diamond soon, did not know if anyone else has any experience with streaming flash videos

for what ever reason i cant stream video from any of my sites like youtube.com or wimp.com and can i cant stream from shoutcast is there any type of plugin or download anyone wants to recommend? thanks in advanced.
Find an answer?
I was having the same problem with orb.com. I did two things, so I'm not sure which fixed:
1. Upgraded to 2.17 rom by Summitter
2. Upgraded host pc to .Net framework v2.0
One of those fixed it, cause it works now and I did nothing else.
Hope this helps.
This is my first time posting so go easy.
Since getting the Kaiser I have really wanted to be able to stream videos from Youku or Tudou since it has pretty much everything. The TCPMP video loader doesn't seem to be working anymore and the only way I have been able to achieve this is by searching the site for the video I want, copying the link into www.clipnabber.com and then copying the download links into TCPMP. Does anyone know of an easier way, or perhaps is anyone willing to write a program similar to youtubeplay to allow us to do this. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Just wait for the new Opera mobile to come out which supports flash?
Then you can go directly to youku or tudou websites and play whatever you want.
have you tried skyfire?
its not like tcpmp (instead it plays within the browser) but it has a nice zoom feature that basically makes it full screen.
Actually my version of Opera plays video from youku in the browser. It only started about a week ago, problem is it's slower than a three legged dog. And as for Skyfire, not in the US so thats not an option. I just thought somebody might be willing to write a program considering how many TV shows and stuff are available on youku. By the way is TCPMP with videoloader working for anyone?
I recently came back to the HTC fold after a year of uing Nokias by being given a Diamond for my Christmas and I've given my wife my N95. I have spent the last week searching various forums to try and solve the following problem.
I used to use my old phone to watch programmes I had downloaded from the BBC Iplayer site. I presumed it would be as easy as using Windows media player on my PC to sync the content to the Diamond as I could do with my old XDA Mini S. Unfortunately it's not !! I keep being hit with error messages saying that it requires a licence. I have tried downloading it with iplayer downloader and renaming the .mov file to mp4 which at least gives me picture but no sound on the Diamond. It is all the more galling when I see my daughter just dragging and dropping content onto her Creative Zen mp4 player and it plays without any hassle.
If someone could suggest a simple and hopefully guaranteed method I would appreciate it. I ahve searched the forum for this but all the threads relate to streaming content to the phone. This isn't really an option because I am on Orange with a pretty meagre data package.
Second that...
Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that one too. I can play iPlayer programmes on the device via the video streamer thanks to the information in this forum, but I get the same lisence error if I try and play a programme I've downloaded on my PC... even though the download actually says it's for mobile devices?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

You'll have to search the forum for that one my friend... I can't remember where I saw the information. You have to update one of the settings in Opera to fool iPlayer into thinking your device is a Samsung Omnia, then visit the mobile iPlayer site and click away. The videos stream throught the pre-installed video streaming app on the device. (At least pre-installed in stock ROM's, if you're using a custom ROM then the cooker may have removed it!)
Happy searching!
The device needs to support playback of DRM protected content, to be able to playback the stuff downloaded from Iplayer. (something like that)
Thanks for that
It's not the streaming of programmes I'm trying to do it's playing files I have already downloaded and want to transfer to my Diamond

Have you tried coreplayer ?
Not the answer to the original question I know but a bit of info for streaming iplayer direct from the BBC website. I use Skyfire browser which is fine, and pretty quick.
Problem resolved
I did as suggested and installed coreplayer and I can play the content. I'll go through what i did because I'm not entirely sure that Coreplayer resolved the problem or no.
I downloaded Coreplayer and installed it on the phone. Because I had deleted the previous downloads I used my daughters laptop to transfer a programme she had downloaded to her Creative Zen. After I transferred it to my phone I went into File Explorer and clicked on the programme rather than opening in Coreplayer it opened in Windows media player. A warning popped up as usual "A licence is required to play this file" and it offered to download it as before. I thought "here we go again it'll fail to get the licence and won't play" but surprise surprise it played fine. Now I'm not sure if Coreplayer installs a codec that allows these files to play or whether the phone got a licence off my daughters laptop that was designed for the Creative Zen but bottom line is that it works. So I'm happy
I don't know what I'm doing wrong!!
The BBC website says the iplayer will stream to the HTC touch diamond, and that you go to www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer to access it. I do this and try to watch a programme then it says it needs flash player installing. When you click on the link to adobe it's for pc's.
I've tried installing flash lite 2.1 but this doesn't seem to connect with the iplayer.
It's as if iplayer doesn't recognise I'm using a mobile device.
Searching on here has turned up lots of alternative ways to view iplayer content, but I was hoping to do it directly from the website like the BBC say you can.
Am I just having a blonde day or am I missing something fundamental?
iPlayer has been covered to death, with numerous solutions to get it working. My favorite, Myplayer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501131&highlight=myplayer. Simply an awesome app, another option is iPlayer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475641&highlight=iplayer, sadly don't think it's being developed any further but very good to just download the show you want (through wifi) and watch it later.
HTH.
Thanks for that, I'll give them a go.
At least I know it's not me being stupid!!
I installed the new ICS update on my 7310. All is great, except I can't watch live stream tv (football for example from a link at wiziwig). On Honeycomb this was no problem. I have tried installing Flash 11.1.111.000 apk, wiping dalvik/factory resett, a new install of ICS, and using different web-browsers, but no luck. Really enjoy being able to carry the tab around the house watching sports on it, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, many thanks! I searched Google for an answer but to no avail either...
Cheers.
Update 1 september, Ok, no-one has an answer, so let me ask if someone can test by letting me know if they can watch streamed tv through the internet. To clarify it is flash streaming, you could try from wiziwig online. Thanks.
