BBC radio Player
Hi everyone, I've got a small question, I have just turned rosetta off as it's just so slow! now I can't get the radio player to work from BBC. They use real player, I know that Real Player is not compatible for inter macs. Has any one managed to get around this yet?
Any help would be great.
Brighton Bloy,
I do have RealPlayer10.1.0 [build 412] on the intel, it is not running under Rosetta nor is Safari.
Make sure you allow it to close your browser when it prompts you after the installation. In it's preferences that you save the Media Types.
I did register for it when prompted as well, I do have the free one not the Superpass, I hope this works for you.

BBC Radio Player no longer works with Airport Express
This weekend I've been unable to get connected to the BBC Radio Player (from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio). This has worked for the past year, and suddenly stopped.
I have narrowed the problem down to the airport express. Radio streaming works without a hitch when I plug in the ethernet cable direct to either mac, or when I connect to another local Wi-Fi connection. But when I use Airport Express, the radio streaming always times-out.
I even set up one of the computers to share internet over the airport, and was easily able to stream the radio connection to the other computer: so the airport cards themselves are working perfectly.
I wondered if anyone else had the same problem. I've noticed it since I upgraded to 10.4.3 and included the 2005-01 Airport Update, though I didn't notice the problem for several days (I did no streaming in that time).
I've tried downgrading to Airport 4.2, and even Airport Express Firmware 6.1.1, but nothing has solved the problem. There isn't an obvious setting I've missed - is there?
If anyone else can stream BBC Radio with all the recent updates applied through Airport Express, I would be interested in hearing from them...Well, I found the answer to my problem. I'll add it here, in case someone else ever has the same problem.
My Speedtouch modem was set to distribute DHCP addresses. But my Airport Express was ALSO set to do this. This had the strange effect of allowing everything to work, apart from Real Player radio/video streams. I have no idea why this was the only effect.
The solution was to set the Airport Express to do nothing, and let the modem do it all. Now both computers can stream radio at the same time, and everything is fine. But it took many hours to find the problem. -
Hi
any idea when i will be able to get the BBC Radio Player app on my Q%?Hi and Welcome to the Community!
As has always been with BBs, the developers and not BlackBerry determine if/when their app will be available for any specific platform. Hence, you need to contact that developer to find out if/when they will do so for yours.
Good luck!

Safari and the BBC radio player....
Hi all,
Not sure where this is best being placed - so sorry if this is the wrong place. I have an iMac at home and have been listening to BBC radio stations happily through Safari for the last couple of years. I know that I downloaded something to make it work. I now also have a macbook pro as my works machine and I want to be able to listen to the radio within the office as I do at home.
I just can not seem to get it to work - as far as I can tell I have downloaded flip for mac, real player and even windows media player for the mac - but it still will not play the stations.
All help and advice very much appreciated.Questions about Safari would not be out of place in the Safari area. Tip: before you post there add the link to what you are not getting to work. I can tell you one thing, the obsolete and buggy WM Player for mac is not the solution.
Have you tried Firefox? I just went to BBC radio homepage and listened live to BBC radio , which , using Firefox caused Quicktime (supported by Flip4mac) to launch and start playing the stream. -
Firefox seems not to be supporting new BBC radio player. Safari is ok with it.
I am a frequent user of BBC radio via the net. The BBC has re-vamped its player and this afternoon [01 04 11] I tried listening to Radio 7 and then Radio 4 to check. The listening panel showed up but there was no sound either on listen live or on 'listen again'. I am now listening to R7 live via Safari.
I have not had problems before with Firefox and the BBCI had this problem too, but fixed it. In my case I was using the Flashblock extension. Adding bbc.co.uk to the whitelist resolved the problem. Maybe you people are using some kind of Adobe Flash filtering? Pls leave a comment as to whether or not this is the case.

Hello there,
I've begun watching the BBC News Player. I'm not in the UK, so it streams at 35 Kbps. This works fine on the office PC with Windows XP and Media Player, but at home with my PowerPC Mac Mini the film is jerky and of a lower quality. I've tried Safari 2.0.3 and Firefox 1.5.0.2 with RealPlayer 10.1.0 and Windows Media Player 9.0, but it makes no difference.
Other than that the Mac is great. I've edited my camcorder films and created DVDs with no problem, and the BBC Radio Player works just fine.
Is it just a feature of the Radeon 9200 that I'll have to live with? I use a Belinea 101920 Monitor and have a broadband internet connection.
Thanks for any help

with your monitor in the standard position (not turned upright through 90 degrees) reduce your resolution to 1024 x 820 and then return again to 1280x1024. Worked for me!

What player/flash do I download to listen to BBC radio
What player/flash do I download to listen to BBC radio
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. -
Until yesterday I could listen to BBC radio. Now the BBC I-player says "enable Java Script. My system says that it IS enabled. I can still listen to classic FM. What do I do? Have gone round in circles

Cannot listen to BBC radio on my Macbook.
I'm a new migrant from Windows. I always used to be able to listen to BBC Radio. Not anymore. Can anyone help? My OS is Tiger - current version. I have a current version of Real Player which has been 'automatically' configured to work (?).
Also, does anyone know how to save a picture from a web page. Seems so simple, yet I can't find anywhere that explains how to do this. (No right click with a Mac , of course).PeterUK, Welcome to the discussion area!
I'm not sure why you posted in this area. This area if for discussing the AirPort Express (AX) and wireless networking.
You should post your question in the OS X or MacBook discussion area.
...No right click with a Mac , of course...

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.

How to listen to BBC radio on the Power PC
It seems that the latest upgrade to BBC iPlayer requires a version of Flash Player that doesn't play on Power PC Macs. What a spon. The Power PC still works fine and isn't that old.
Does anyone know a workround to listen to BBC radio?Where are you playing from?
iTunes Radio? or a website?
From websites. The problem doesn't seem to happen when I use iTunes but it doesn't seem that every station's internet can be opened through iTunes. Or is there a way in fact to do that? -
Web clip widget from bbc radio - cannot delete it.
Hi Community,
I have an issue with my dashboard - hope you guys can help me out:
I tried the web clip widget feature with a web player of bbc radio, but I never really made it work, so since a couple of weeks now I try to delete it again. When I try to access my Dashboard it instantly redirects me to a browser window with the cookie website (http://cookie.radioplayer.co.uk/cm/lp/s) of bbc.
As it instantly redirects me OFF the dashboard - I cant click on the - button below, nor am I fast enough to click alt and the X on the widget.
It also doesnt appear in the library/widgets folder, so Im screwed. -.-
Someone with an idea?
Passively accessing the Dashboard - something like Safe Mode - is available? I mean accessing it without loading/updating the widgets?
Thanks for the help
Cheers
AlexHi Alex
I believe the BBC recently changed the way they code the radio widget, making it impossible to remain in the Dashboard. But, as you've found, the actual widget isn't in the Widgets folder.
The only way you can remove it is to trash your preferences. Go to the home Library folder, then Preferences, and trash com.apple.dashboard.plist and com.apple.dashboard.client.plist. Immediately reboot.
You might want to look at RadioAunty for an alternative way to access BBC radio stations.

How do I make a CD from a BBC Radio 4 programme I have recorded using EyeTV
I am using a MacBookPro OS 10.7.5
I have tried in vain using Toast 7 Titanium Version 7.1 to make a CD from four 15-minute BBC radio programmes recorded on EyeTV DTT Version 3.5.4. I cannot get Toast, set for Audio, to accept the four files.
I would also like to make a CD from a MPEG-1, Layer 3, 12.9 MB audio file which is encoded with LAME 3.98.
I recently bought Wondershare, but am having difficulty in using it also.
I would be eternally grateful to anybody who could talk me through this. Thank you.Veronica Hitchcock wrote:

MPEG StreamClip isn't exactly intuitive in its operation. Here's another method you coiuld try (no guarantees).
Download VLC Media Player (free).
Drag the file onto the icon for the player (probably you will have a .ts file). From the File menu choose Streaming/Exporting Wizard.
Select Transcode/Save to file; select File.
Tick Transcode Audio: choose Codec - Uncompressed, integer 512kb/s
Tick Choose and give it a name. It will save as a .wav which should burn in Toast.
Alternative method: get Audio Hijack Pro ($32), then you can play the original file and record it to WAV or AIFF file in real time. -
Was asked to unpdate Flash which I did, but now I cant get BBC radio sound or Amazon transactions.
Tried to re-install Flash & Firefox but not changeThere have been issues reported with the 13.0.0.182 version of the Flash plugin crashing on some older Mac computers due to the compiler generating incompatible code.
The way to recover is to uninstall the Flash 13 version and revert to an older Flash version and wait for Adobe to release an update that addresses this issue.
* http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
You can either install the latest Flash 11.7 version that has the latest security updates (may not work with Safari) or the last Flash 12 version that didn't get the security updates Flash 13 has.
