bbc iplayer

Asked by sandra mclean on 2008-01-25

the bbc have recently launched their iplayer, so we can watch programmes over the internet,
i've followed the instructions and downloaded adobe flashplayer 9, but nothing doing,
e-mailed bbc who suggest that i delete flash then re install, as it could be a corrupted file,
i've done this and still the iplayer wont stream?
any suggestions? anyone else had any luck with the iplayer?
cheers
sandra

Unfortunately Adobe really messed up the flash player and the package in Ubuntu does not work.

Please see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 for more information.
Assuming you have Ubuntu 7.10 32-bit, you will install the package (download, double-click, enter password if asked, and click Install Package): http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=53648&stc=1&d=1198033466
