anyway to get this to work outside the uK?
That appbrain link doesn't seem to work any more, but it would appear that BBC iPlayer is available in the standard Android marketplace.
thanks! I found it in market too.

Surely loading from the site wont work because we do not have flash player?
I'm pretty certain I read somewhere that the iplayer app needs flash to run, so you probably won't have any luck getting it working on WF. Sorry!

has anyone still got the original myplayer app which played bbc

i was changed font for my phone!
thank!
a phone from huawei brand, i think x3 is running flash 10.2 with the same processor... maybe it can be done for optimus..
so, it not possible?
I've tried a few socalled fixes for flash on the GT540 and the only thing that comes near to working is Flash Lite which as said earlier is just for small ads etc.
So, no chance of getting full flash?:S
Sorry but no
There is a chance to get full flash i adobe build it for our processor's but i don't think
You Simply cant !
Hi guys,
I discovered skyfire browser which have flash player built in . This is seems to be the only way a flash content can be played on lg gt540. When you get to a web site even though a message is displayed on the screen that you do not have appropriate flash player installed you can play the flash content by clicking on the video icon on the skyfire browser it will load the video in a seperate window and then play it. Hope this work. Skyfire is free to download from market!

Skyfire isn't a flash browser, as you can't play games. I just decodes the flash content (.flv video) to .3gp or .mp4 which Android can play natively. It's basically what the iPhone's browser does.
I've had Skyfire for a while, since it was in version 2.0 beta. It's now in 4.0 and is one of the best browsers out there.
I have skyfire on my Optimus V. If there is any video content on a page you can select the video icon in the lower left corner, a box will appear with a play button,select,and it will play the vidieo

I have just downloaded skyfire myself and I must admit I am impressed with it. I can even watch BBCiplayer stuff with it. But as Quinny states, it does not play Flash movies, it just converts them.
Just found out that it converts to HTML5 on skyfire's servers, meaning better quality video. I think it also means, as the servers are in the UK, you can access BBC iPlayer and tvcatchup.com.

Yep I have used it for BBCiplayer

BBC news website embedded video issue

I've been trying to play video on BBC news website with no success. The loading circle just rotates forever. Funny thing is when I first got my sgs2 it played no problem whatsoever. Also BBC iplayer main website won't let me access it, says my phone not supported. Once again I think I could access it before I upgraded from 2.3.3. Java is enabled in my settings and plugins are allowed. I'm unrooted on stock voda 2.3.5. Anybody else sufferring from this problem?

All working fine here... do u have flash installed OK?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Yeah, running latest version of flash downloaded from market. Using stock browser. Tried uninstalling flash updates, but made no difference. The red ring just keeps whirling round forever and video never plays. All very odd. Every other site I've tried video works fine e.g. sky news, t3, stuff TV, itv news, gadget show. Even BBC one watchlive worked. I guess it must be my settings somehow? But i've no idea what exactly.

Yes, I have the problem as well. It was one of the good things about the S2 that I could watch all the BBC news videos. I guess the BBC have changed something.
I have just tested and it now works OK using Dolphin HD Browser (and you can watch full screen unlike on the stock browser)
Also the videos work on the official BBC news app
I agree, the first thing I checked in shop on demo gs2 was flash playing video on BBC news website. The speed and smoothness really impressed me. Coming from HTC legend ARMv6 where flash was crap, it helped make my decision to buy gs2 final. At least now I know someone else has this issue and shares my disappointment.
Good to know it still works with dolphin hd though. But for me I'd rather stick to stock browser because if hardware acceleration. So the fact it doesn't work anymore is pretty frustrating.:-(

i have solved this problem by using an older version of adobe flash that i still had backed up in titanium backup. but i don't know if thats the best solution since then you won't get the newest versions and security fixes.....
Using titanium backup to roll back flash might be an option. Although i'm pretty sure I would need root. Interestingly I have uninstalled all flash updates back to 10.1 and it made no difference. So maybe flash isn't the problem?

Can you give me a link to try?
I know that the bbc have recently moved over to HTML5 video content.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/22/bbc-moves-towards-html5-for-websites-tells-flash-itll-still-be/
This is probably the issue though I have surfed through the site and it is all working for me.

Interesting article. I presume you want the link to the web page I'm having trouble with? It's just the BBC news front/home page.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
If I've picked you up wrong let me know.
Also as I stated earlier BBC iplayer (WEBSITE) says my phone isn't supported. Does that also work for you? Thanks for your input
Gs2 on stock uk voda 2.3.5 using stock browser.
