BBC Iplayer now working perfect!!

[wesbar]

Just letting you guys know that iplayer now works perfectly as long as you use the iphone spoof hack on your n95 (from symbian-freak). They stream in .3gp in realplayer and are spot on in terms of fps and quality. There is one downside though, the bbc are not letting you stream over 3g (same as with 3g iphone) so its wifi only for now.

How does everyone go about signing unsigned apps now? I've tried the SymbianSigned website method, but with no success.

To answer my own question, I found the solution here:

You should be aware that this allows any unsigned app to run, so be careful what apps you install!!!

iPlayer working perfectly on wifi . Haven't attempted 3G yet, but surely that will come once the Apple herd update their phones.

i've signed this installed this and nothing.

try to reinstall this and i get an error saying i do not have permissions.

so how do i use this then?

[buxz777]

once its installed you dont have to do anything all it does is let web pages think you have an iphone so when it renders the page you get slightly different layout ie go to www.google.co.uk on your handset and with this installed it fits perfectly to the page etc without the patch it dosent

so sites that require you to have an iphone ie bbc iplayer , will now let you use them , and if a page has been made speacially for the iphone like alot will be then you get the nicely rendered version on your n95

its pretty good and could come in handy as more and more sites become made for the iphone :-)

hope that makes a bit of sense

[Casperuk]

that's the thing, i have seen more people with N95's yet the crappy iPhone gets all the good modded pages for it

Yeah, it seems pretty bad that the BBC license fee (I assume) is used to develop an iPlayer platform for one single device that's only available on one single network. Especially as they even had to remove the DRM in order to get it to work, which then allowed people from all over the world to access the TV for free that I have to pay for!

unfortunately, I had this too. Previously, I-player did work using flash lite although the video didn't fit and had a terrible frame rate

Perhaps I'm missing a point somewhere, but http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayerbeta/mobile/index.html Work on my original N95 without any additional files installed.
