BBC Iplayer Working and how to, with files

Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.

just installed those files, working well. thanks.

Nice one cheers

I have installed BBC iPlayer and flash player and cleared the data like you said but when I open BBC iplayer chrome opens up and says I ned to update flash. What should I do thank you

Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Works great,but couldn't get dolphin to work with flash and Firefox isn't compatible,so I'm really grateful for this until we get an official app.

Fantastic all working.

Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.

Nice one, works a treat!

Is the anyway I can get this working in Australia?
I was born in England, and as such I really like all the tv programmes ect, but the app says it only works in the UK.

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.
I was using firefox beta + sideloaded flash, but will give this a go. Thanks OP.

Cast Chrome Browser on Android??

So I got the Chromecast the other day and tried Youtube and Neflix but before the purchase I assumed I could cast Chrome browser on my Android through Chromecast, but it looks like Chrome browser works on a PC/Mac, not on Android or iPhones.
Is there anyway to do this?

You shouldn't assume! It's always been very clear that Chrome Browser casting is only supported on PC (for now).

whilst your advice on assumption is right up there, I disagree that's it's been VERY clear as I too wondered the same, I'm hoping that the chromecast option will appear in chrome BETA each time it gets updated

Anyone have luck getting audio to work when casting a local video from PC (chrome tab)?

Working fine from me. Playing through plex web server though in chrome browser.

Tab casting uses the device CPU to transcode on the fly. The demands on a mobile device processor would be significant, at least the way they have it set up right now.

Well it's always bee very clear to me so maybe you just only read the info you wanted. There is nothing that has ever said it would work and all official info regarding Chrome browser tab casting always states (PC, Mac). Min requirements are right hear and clear as day. https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3209990?hl=en&ref_topic=3210038
The problem is people make assumptions. Sure hope you guys don't jobs that rely on making educated and important decisions. Not bashing, just saying...
BTW: It's likely a hardware limitation at this point. Tablets just don't have the power for real-time encoding...

dice player and tf701 issues

I purchased a few months ago a transformer tf701.
I love the dice player but when using it on my tf701 I face weird issues.
For instance whilst playing video, screen blocks and audio keeps playing...
Anybody facing similar issues ?
Thanks

I can honestly say I don't use Dice Player. Are you aware of the fact that there is a VLC player for android? It may still be under a geographical restricted beta, but the application just like the windows variant is free, so there are APKs floating all over the place for beta 0.1.3.
I would give that a try, in lieu of any practical advice on Dice.

Hello I know VLC is available I have it too but I need an app with popup play

Great news now VLC has popup play

[Q] Allcast app issues on N6

I have the Allcast premium app for streaming media to my Chromecast. Last night I tried to stream a video from my library and it would not stream for more than 5 - 10 seconds without buffering.
I tried the same file from my 2012 Nexus 7 and streamed flawlessly. Both are running lollipop. Not sure why my Nexus 6 had issues.
Anybody using this app and have similar issues?

Same issue for me as well

It's the app not n6. The app usually can't play a majority of files, my work around was just casting my screen and using MX player.

I too have run across files that had trouble playing. But like I said above I played the same file with the same app from my Nexus 7 without issue.
My Nexus 7 is running lollipop too so its not the app or the OS. Comes down to the Nexus 6. This phone is brand new so I expect there will be a software fix soon.
In the meantime I'll try MX while casting the screen.

for chromecast you can just use the built in cast screen instead but I have also had some issues with allcast.
