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.

I am trying to figure out which Adobe Flash Player/Flash Lite to download for my Blackberry 8230

I am trying to be able to play games on my Blackberry 8230 and I do not know which Adobe Flash Player/Flash Lite to download. I would appreciate any assistance to this question as soon as possible.
I need help!

AFAIK, there is currently no support for Flashplayer on the Blackberry. Word at MAX was that future RIM devices will support flashplayer 10.1

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?

Listening to BBC Radio

Is there anyway of listening to BBC radio through itunes?
I have tried to use BBC feeds through realplayer but i can't get it to work, it just keeps timing out, even with the newest real 10 and searching the help pages.
Wondered if I could avoid other software and use itunes.
IMAC G5 20 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for that, I have loaded Steam, it seems to work but I can't get any music, all I get is the error.
RealPlayer: Connection to server has timed out.
You may be experiencing network problems.

This is the same when I try to listen direct from the BBC. Any ideas what is wrong? Could be my settings??

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.

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

Listening to BBC radio stream

Hi
I live in Bangkok and like to listen to the BBC radio 5 web stream while driving around town.
Currently I'm using WunderRadio but I was wondering if anyone would recommend different radio streaming software?
Thanks
Mick

Hi BkkMick,
My app (yes, I'm the developer, and I will get paid if you buy my app) ooTunes Radio has many of the BBC streams. However, only those that are available in windows media audio (WMA format) will work in the apps that support wma format. ooTunes Radio (my app), Wunder, pocket tunes and FStream (a free app) all support wma audio streams. I have the BBC 5 live and BBC 5 sports xtra streams already in the built in database and they work great. The full list of stations compatible with my app is here: http://ootunes.com/s/ though there are a few BBC streams there that only work in the UK (they are labeled that way). 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.

Anyone know what happened to BBC Radio 2? Doesn't work on Apple TV anymore

I would listen to BBC Radio 2 all day, every day, but now an error message comes up saying "an error occurred loading this content". Does anyone know who I can contact with regards to this?
Thanks in advance

Try pulling the power on your Apple TV and your Router then restart them.

What is flash player and why do i have to download it ?

My computer won't show any videos on safari because it says I need to update flash player. What is flash player and why do i have to download it? I thought flash player comes with your computer.

1. A browser plugin for Flash content.
2. Apple no longer bundles it with Mac OS X.

HT1349 How do I download a adobe flash player or what other flash player can I get

How do I get adobe flash player or what other flash player do I need for a apple 2 I pad

You cannot download any flash players to the iPad. Best you can do is buy Skyfire Browser from the App Store, which will allow you to view some flash content. There are a couple of other browser apps that do this, too.
