Does anybody know of PocketPC alternative to Real Player. I don't think one exists but I need to play media streams from the BBC site and Real player no longer works on the T-Mobile WnW UK network. It's fine over Wifi.
Playing BBC streams
PDAtuner.com was working for me today.
Thanks, that helped at least I can get Radio4 and FiveLive. (Helpful first post!)
thanks for the info
We all know that it is possible to stream youtube videos with coreplayer and some other apps with the Polaris. But what about sites like video.google.com / myvideo.de oder perhaps even youporn.com?
Is there any possibility to stream them as well? Perhaps even with Coreplayer?

Hi,
I have searched the internet and as far as I'm aware, there isn't a Windows Mobile app that plays the BBC iPlayer.
I have notice that the new Nokia N96 has this functionality.
Is their already a windows mobile application for the iPlayer?
If not would it be feasible to have an application similar to the youTube one?
Thanks

Iplayer Not Possible On Any Phone..
BBC IPLAYER ACCESS ON DIAMOND/ANY PHONE NOT POSSIBLE...
THE ONLY MOBILE BROWSER CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING THE LATEST FLASH ETC IS SKYFIRE,BUT SKYFIRE USES AN AMERICAN PROXY SERVER WHICH CAUSES "MUST BE IN UK TO WATCH " ERROR
THEREFORE BBCIPLAYER IS NOT POSSIBLE AND WONT BE UNTIL SKYFIRE CREATE A UK PROXY SERVER (NOT FOR A LONG LONG LONG TIME)
I have had a go at this (unsuccessfully). I even tried spoofing opera's user-agent to an iphones user-agent but although I got the iphone version of the iplayer website, the streams would not play. (there was some text visible about requiring a plug-in)
The BBC rather too accurately detect the flash version. I've just a similar problem with my Ubuntu 8.10 install until I rolled flash back to version 9.

iPlayer to synchronise shows on PCs and phones
The BBC's iPlayer service will synchronise downloaded TV shows across all your PCs and mobiles, as part of a forthcoming integration with Windows Live Mesh, writes Barry Collins in Los Angeles.
a valid point merrica
although,this mobile integration of live mesh and bbc iplayer
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/233295/iplayer-to-synchronise-shows-on-pcs-and-phones.html# is good ,its still not what we need as it is limitied to what you have on your home pc,its exactly the same as using orb or any other mobile-streaming app....the point is real-time bbciplayer access wont be possible for a while
(i mean going to bbc iplayer and randomly choosing a show.i.e. tonights eastenders..this wont be possible until skyfire has a uk proxy option)
You do know that you can
download programme content from the iplayer website an then upload it to your phone and watch through WM player. It does need to download the DRM to your phone.

I think the majority of people here would like to stream directly from their devices.

I tried doing this for the first time yesterday, but when I put the file onto my diamond it would'nt play the file due to DRM. you put that it needs to download the DRM to your phone.... so how does it do that?
It'd be nice to be able to stream it straight to the phone, but i'd be happy to download the shows that I want for now, but don't know where to start with DRM??
open in wm player and should auto download opening both ie and opera for some reason. both pages will be blank. please note this takes ages sometimes
I have managed to get the N96 / Samsung I900 streams to work fine on my X1.

Can you test with your Diamonds?
it seems to work but the iplayer service keeps going down,so i will try again later and hopefully get to see a stream.
I've heard that iPlayer seems to work fine on the latest beta of Skyfire, which also plays youtube flawlessly. Here is the review of skyfire (http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1476)
Iplayer on wm6 with ease
Skyfire Beta is now available to anyone in the uk. I downloaded it the other day and can now view any website including Youtube, BBC iPlayer, Joox, gamesloth and so on. It runs the webpage from thier systems and you view it on your handset. give it a blast. its free.
ive been using skyfire for a while,i would just like to see other browsers having this capability,
Maybe in opera it might sit the picture on the screen a bit better without having to rotate the screen and stuff.
Is anyone getting sound from the bbc iPlayer on Skyfire?

I got sound on my X1 when using SkyFire. There is an option in SkyFire to disable/enable audio, also double check the iPlayer has the volume set.

BBC, BBC iPlayer, ITV, 4oD and TVCatchup are possible to watch on your tablet?

do you mean tvcatchup ? which browser are you using ? just tried it and stock wont let me click on a channel wheres Opera doesnt like the Flash version ??
How is pic. quality?
iPlayer quality is great. still trying to figure out this tvcatchup thing tho
iPlayer and m.tvcatchup both work well over WiFi with the stock browser.
Picture quality on iPlayer is great, m.tvcatchup varies from channel to channel.
they both run on HSDPA connection when using my phones hotspot as well,
but need to buffer a lot.
+1 for iPlayer and YouTube, haven't tried anything else.
Yep iplayer ok plus lovefilm watch online works ok

BBC and ITV work well in browser
The main 4oD webpage is very slow and I can't get it to work. If you google the actual show then go its page it works fine
iPlayer app does not work. there is an ITV app, but it won;t let me download it even thought it says it supports tablets...
I did have a list of search keywords to find all the TV content on Youtube once. But it's gone astray.
maxthon and dolphin broswer both work with itv and chanel 4,
