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.

  • Safari and the BBC

    I'm using a macbook with 10.4.8 and realplayer through safari. Every 2or 3 mins I get a connection timed out message when listening to the BBC, any ideas?

    Thanks so much for the reply.
    I'm in Alabama. I'm using the version of player downloadable from the BBC, although it's a full version of Realplayer 10.1.0 (412) so I'm told. The problem happens on both an older Powerbook G4 with OS x.4.8 and a new Macbook with OS x.4.8.. I wonder if it could be something to do with the BBC? The problem occurs after 1.58 mins, athough last night we listened to a radio 7 programme without any interupution. My desk-top I Mac on the same Airport network with the same Realplayer settings doesn't have the same problems
    I've played with all the time out and bandwidth preferences and nothing makes any difference!

  • 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.

  • BBC Radio Player on Q5 BB 10

    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!

  • I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to appletv.

    I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to apple tv.

    That's because the BBC iPlayer app uses basic AirPlay to show the content, this means the original content is sent to the Apple TV for it to decode rather than mirroring the screen of the iPad where the subtitles are added.

  • Links to the BBC News Player don't start video streams.

    On the BBC News website there are numerous links to video news streams which should start playing in the BBC News Player (a new popup windows with either web content and a video stream in either Windows Media Player or Real Player format).
    Whenever I go to the BBC News website (http://news.bbc.co.uk) and click a video link it:
    1. Opens up the BBC News Player in a popup window.
    2. Shows a short BBC News Logo clip of 3 seconds.
    3. Then does nothing.
    What it should do for step 3 is to play the relevant video stream.
    I've tried this in several Mac browsers:
    Safari (2.0.2) = FAILS (as described above)
    Inernet Explorer (5.2) = WORKS (but without CSS the html looks messy)
    Camino (0.8.4) = WORKS
    Opera (8.0.2) = WORKS
    Firefox (1.0.2) = WORKS
    Q1. So why does it work in all the above browsers, but in Safari.
    Q2. Do other people get it work in Safari or not?
    John.

    iBod,
    I'm more baffled now! I created a couple of new accounts (one admin, one standard) and tried them. Both had the same outcome:
    1. Started Safari.
    2. Went to http://news.bbc.co.uk
    3. Clicked link to display a video news clip (was one about dummies!).
    4. BBC News Player window popped up, asking if I wanted Real Player or Windows Media. Chose Real Player.
    5. Window refreshed with the correct video clip.
    6. Quit and restarted Safari and tried again. OK.
    7. Quit and restarted Safari and tried again. Not it fails persistently. (By fail I mean the player window comes up but the video clip is only a 3-second clip of a BBC logo.)
    I tried the second new account and similarly. For the first few goes it works properly. After a few goes it fails.
    John.

  • I am no longer able to get the BBC I Player on my power mac 10.4.11

    because I need flash player at lease 10.2  to access the BBC I player I have installed 10.1.102.64 this seems the latest player available for power macs that  I can  update to 
    can anybody help with the problem

    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the interesting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 11.5.502.55 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

  • Safari and the messages app dissapered on my iPad.

    Safari and the messages app dissapered on my iPad and I don't know what happened or how to get them back. The restrictions are off and I treys to search for them but they still didn't show up. I need help!

    You cannot delete the preinstalled apps. nor can they be downloaded again. They have to be on the iPad.
    How did you search for them? Did you swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the Spotlight Search field at the top of the screen?
    Did you try a reset yet? It's like rebooting your computer and it resets the system.
    Reset 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.

    Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

    Hi rmmilleriii,
    You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article] that discusses some of the issues with the latest build of Firefox.
    There is some information in there that should help you to resolve your issue. Luckily, it is a very easy fix.
    Hopefully this helps!
