BBC Radio IPlayer - Unable to play live.

Hi, having a problem playing LIVE audio from BBC radio via browser. I believe you should be able to play the radio station live from the browser. I can play podcasts and old shows but not live.
Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks

I've read a lot of posts on forums about apps that are widely available on Apple iThings and Android but not on BlackBerry. It seems to me that the people at BlackBerry are just hanging on in the fight against the other platforms and don't have the time or inclination to develop, or collaborate with others to develop, apps that would make their offering much more appealing to the wider market thereby increasing their market share. But that's just my uneducated opinion.
If anyone from BlackBerry does read this forum, ease could you at least get browser to play BBC live. It's just a little thing but it would make a lot of people happy.

Videos on youtube and bbc radio iplayer display a black box instead of the player box.

so yesterday morning i was using youtube and bbc iplayer fine and then last night they suddenly stopped working and i can't think of any reason why, i haven't updated or made any changes to anything in the last day. the pages load fine but where there was previoulsy the video or in the case of iplayer the picture with the controls on, there is now just a black box. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player but otherwise don't know what to do!
i've also tried using internet explorer and have the same problem with this. i've tried to update firefox but cant get it to work, although i imagine this won't help anyway since ive got the same problem in internet explorer.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Unable to play live camera recording on ipad2

I want to see the live DVr recording online anywhere I am using my ipad2

What does that even mean?

I want to listen to BBC radio on my macbook

get this message when I try to listen;
The page “BBC iPlayer - Radio” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
I don´t understand what that means.....can anybody translate for me? I don´t know what MIME is or a plug-in.
Thanks

Plug-ins let your browser handle special kinds of content such as streaming video and audio. MIME types are a geeky shorthand for various types of content -- and I agree that it's frustrating when your computer refers to acronyms and other technical jargon so casually!
The good news is I was able to get the BBC Radio iPlayer to work fine, so it's not a Mac-compatibility issue. You just need the proper plug-ins. You'll want both the free Flip4Mac (Windows Media) plug-in and the free Real Player plug-in.

NBATV not playing live games

TThe new NBA season started today, I was unable to play live games through AppleTV. I was able to watch the on my iPad and then AirPlay them my TV I could also watch them on my Mac and MacBook Air, just not through the AppleTV.
EVerything else else is available in the NBATV app, such as NBA TV live, video vault and all the scores and settings
i Have a friend that has the same problem, so it isn't specific to my AppleTV

I had (have) this issue also. Resetting the Apple TV back to factory setting "Reset All Settings" works for me. I have had to do this a couple of times though already. Its quite annoying as you have to setup the Apple TV from scratch each time but its the only way I have found to be able to watch games via Apple TV. I have read a number of people reporting the same issue so hopefully a fix via an Apple TV software update is coming...

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Streaming live BBC radio through itunes

I've just installed an airport express to listen to music in my kitchen.
I'd also like to listen to the radio - streamed through itunes - in my kitchen, but can't work out how to do this.
Can I either use set my browser to play streamed audio through my airport express, or can I stream radio through itunes?
Thanks

BBC internet radio isn't compatible with iTunes. You can read more at this BBC link: Can I listen live to BBC Radio stations using iTunes?

Playing live radio through iTunes

I used to have a selection of radio stations to play live through itunes and it's gone on the new version. How can I listen live. I need to go through iTunes- not just the station stream, to use my speakers
thanks

Again, it sounds like a bandwidth issue. What kind of connection do you have? What speed? How reliable is it?
What other programs are you running at the same time?

Unable to stream live radio

I have a MacBook laptop and I'm currently unable to stream live radio to it. It had been working. My tech updated it and now it won't stream.
Is there a setting some place that I need to set to get it going again?
Thanks much!
Ginger

Maybe someone else know of a quick fix, not me unfortunaley, it is also a while since I used 10.6.8.
At least the audio system works correctly.
Few more questions.
Do you have any extentions in Safari preferences, such as Ad block, Flash block etc, these can stop streaming working? I cannot remember if these extentions were available for Snow Leopard.
Did you use a Proxy server in your network settings that as been disabled by the software upgrade, or have they set one up for you in network settings to use the school network?
Do use a particular station, if so what is it and I will try it on my computer. It may give some pointers to what is stopping on your computer.
and I should have asked this before, can you steam radio from other locations, say at home etc.

Over the last couple of weeks I have kept getting 'dropout' when trying to listen to streaming BBC radio programmes on my iMac AND now on the iPhone and iPod - these I have just updated to 5.1.1. (i Think)

Error streaming BBC radio feeds through RealPlayer...

Problem
I am experiencing a problem with the version of Realplayer Mobile pre-loaded on a Nokia E90 running Symbian S60 (version s60.30.19.02M 10-May-2007 09:58:18). The problem occurs when trying to stream the BBC live radio feeds at www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/radio/listen after selecting an ‘RM’ feed there is a couple of seconds pause followed by the error message “Disconnected. Try connecting again?”
Environment
The phone is connecting through my home wifi router (a Netgear WGT624v2) which acts as my network hub. This network hub services a home PC and a work laptop base station, via Ethernet cables, and also to various wifi devices such as PSP’s, laptops and the phone.
The internet connection is supplied by a broadband router (an SMC SMC7404 BRA UK) connected into the wifi network hub via Ethernet
All devices – the mobile, the hub, the broadband router – are running on the current firmware versions.
The wifi connection to the phone works for both web and email. Realplayer mobile plays video and music files.
Further Information
I can successfully stream the www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/radio/listen feeds over my home PC (Windows XP service pack 3) using RealPlayer (Version 11.0.3 Helix Powered Build: 6.0.14.806) which obviously routes through the wifi hub and the broadband router.
On casting around various forums I notice that there may be an issue with Realplayer mobile using different ports than Realplayer. Although, there seems to be no official information on the port settings someone has suggested the range of 6970 to 7170 on UDP is correct. Although, I’m uncomfortable opening such a large range I have allowed port forwarding on the wifi hub to the mobile (no, the mobile is not using a static IP address but I have confirmed that the IP address is correct).
I have also opened both 6970 and 7170 ports on the broadband router for UDP (note not the full range.
Correspondingly, the Realplyer mobile Streaming settings on the phone are :
Proxy->Use Proxy : “No”
Network->Default Access point: “mywifihub”
Network->Online Time: “Unlimited”
Network->Lowest UDP port: “6970”
Network->Highest UDP port: “7170”
Help ?
I’m obviously looking for some guidance here. Can someone please solve my problem ?
I’d like to know:
• Why is realplayer mobile is connecting in a different way to realplayer ?
• What are the ports that realplayer mobile requires, and why does it need them ?
• Is there anything else I need to do to get this thing working ?
Many Thanks,
colin

The mobile listening page on the BBC site is OK for live streams, but if you want to listen to programmes that have already been broadcast, you need to go to the "listen again" page.
I have this working today, perhaps because the BBC have fixed it (I'm sure I tried the same thing the other day).
Here is an example for Radio 3:
* Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/listen/index.shtml
* Find the paragraph that starts: "But if you want to listen to a programme broadcast in the last 7 days..."
* Click on the link: BBC Radio3 iPlayer
* Choose the programme you wish to listen to. Episodes of
daily programmes can be found for the week after they have been broadcast: click on "show more episodes"
* Click on the link of the programme you wish to hear.
* A message comes up, inviting you to click on a link to listen in Real Player
* Click that and Real Player opens. Adjust volume using right or left joystick button.
You cannot fast forward or rewind programme, but at least you can listen.
Wonderful. My only minor gripe now is the number of clicks necessary, but at least it works.
A quicker way, and definitely the best of you are using a normal computer rather than a smart phone, is to go to the programme's own page, and follow the link to the last programme(s). On S60 you get the invitation to click to open real player for less than a second, followed by the suggestion to instal Real Player.
Check it out in a few days, when I guess they'll have fixed this much more practical route.
Do post back if this works for you, or if anything is not clear.
I tried this on an E90, but I suppose any S60 phone should handle it.

C6 BBC Radio 4 - RSTP outside of the UK

Hi,
Firstly very new so be gentle.
I bought a C6 Nokia and hoped I would be able to hear the BBC Radio 4 as it has Wi-Fi. I have tried iPlayer and found it does install, if you know where to look, but does not work and the BBC say it does not work.
When I attempt to listen via the www.bbc.co.uk site.
- unable to Connect
- then a prompt to save bbcradio4
In the old days realplayer use to stream this just fine.
Any help appreciated. Even if it is a redirection to the right forum

So anyone looking to do this. Get coreplayer and go to http://bbcradio.mobi/ download the windows stream and use coreplay to play the download file.

DIY how to guide: BBC radio streams in iTunes

Been searching for a while to get BBC radio streams (for me, specifically BBC radio 4) working in iTunes, and since I could't find any information in the discussions here, this is how I did it with help from various sources on the net.
What you need:
flip4mac plugins installed (free)
VLC (free)
QuickTime 7 Pro (the regular QuickTime 7 does not allow saving)
Safari
iTunes
You'll find the bbc stream links on the below pages:
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playingradio_progs/real_wmastreams
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playingradio_progs/local_radiostreams
What I did:
1. copy the url to the radio station you want
2. open the url in VLC, let it start playing
3. save the playlist as m3u
4. open the playlist in QuickTime 7 Pro, let it start playing
5. in QuickTime 7 Pro, save the stream as .mov
6. open the .mov in iTunes and play it
Even though it lists about 10 minutes in iTunes, it will play the live stream for hours.
Happy BBC radio-ing in iTunes!

Well I know a much easier one:
open iTunes
click radios
click news/talk radios
click radio 4
That would be indeed be easier if it worked: unfortunately it doesn't - it looks rather as if the BBC have turned the stream off (unless it's a fault condition, of course).

Anyone else getting interference, crackle, whistling noise on BBC radio streams?

I have been listening to BBC Radio on iTunes for years - and it has had its issues - but generally pretty solid.
I have recently noticed a background whistling/whine/crackle in the background. I don't get it on iPlayer or the live web stream from the BBC, but with the iTunes stream I get it on all my PC's and Mac in the house.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Or is anyone having the same issue?
Not sure if its something wrong with my LAN or other local issue. Any insight much appreciated.
Andy

Pretty sure this is the same issue...
iTunes - Strong noise since update
