From this BBC blog, the new iplayer mobile site for android has been released and uses Flash to deliver its content. It says you need Froyo 2.2 and Flash installed, then just goto iplayer site.
But has anyone managed to get it working, mine just constantly tries to load the video.
Every video I tried failed to load - can't remember the error message now. On wifi too.
Still bookmarked it though.

Doesn't that kind of defeat the object of it? The mobile stream is a 400kbps optimized stream which should look a LOT better than a non-optimised stream through the full site.
It works now!!
still friggin unavailable outside uk
Go sign up with a $10 month vpn service to Europe. Been using that for awhile to watch commercial-free broadcasts of formula 1 races from the BBC.

Because its paid for by our TV licenses, ie its not free.
I get the error saying that I should use Wifi to access the service as 3G is limited to Vodafone and 3 only. Except my phone IS connected to Vodafone.
Will try with Wifi when I get home.
Yep, same problem.
Wifi fine, Voda 3G = no go.
works a treat now over wifi!
I'm just getting the normal desktop site when I go to the following URL, is there a special one?
http://beta.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
yup and our tv fee's are going up year on year so the rest of the world can get a cheap proxy and watch for free surely this is theft same as stealing cable etc.
I think the bbc's corporate arm should have a paid version of iplayer for use outside the uk, i dont think UK residents should pay for other countries to use it.
just a personal annoyance of mine.
or better still get rid of the f*cking fee's altogether

It doesn't work in US. However, I can access "normal" version of iplayer using skyfire.
It doesn't show up BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio Ulster either, and there's no live service.

Just go to mobile.tvcatchup.com (or m.tvcatchup.com) set up an account and login, streams are viewed via the streaming app, however I think it only works if in the uk..
Oh it appears that mobile.tvcatchup.mobi doesn't work but m.tvCatchup.mobi does? Lol
Thank you! I'll be watching the world cup on there! Seems to be better quality than yamgo

I have searched the entire forum and others and have come up with a few suggestions but none actually work.
Skyfire 2.0 has the loading video window stuck on the screen in front of a perfectly playing live stream of the game behind it, very frustrating.
Ustream loads a frozen image of the game and does not stream on my device.
ESPN3 does not work with Skyfire browser.
Is there any "working" solution to streaming games live on the X10 here in the States?
Actually i watch using ustream.
At least earlier it worked ...
I tired a lot of channels until one of them was fine.
When i saw still images instead of a stream i checked the standard ustream in the browser and i saw the same issue there too.

Thanks for the reply.
I saw 171 views with no reply and I thought it was hopeless.
I tried all the ustream channels with no luck but I have heard others also find success with it so maybe it is a network issue.
It is too bad skyfire development won't fix the loading window error because the video streaming behind it is quite good.
Too bad you are down in south... Rogers Canada user can pay $15 to get all the FIFA2010 on the X10 and iphone.

Agreed.
I would definitely pay the $15.
Does anyone know how that works? It's $5 for rogers on demand mobile and another $10 for the "world cup premium package". What does the world cup premium package do if you can already get content from CBC with the $5 package?
I am using the rogers on demand app. It works flawlessly, quality is great amd there is no buffer or skipping. It is 5 a month to use the app and a one time 10$ fee for access to the world cup matches. Worth every penny for the matches but will not use it after. Little to no content otherwise.

This works wonderfully with one exception as stated in my opening post.
The loading window freezes at 50% and the game is playing flawlessly behind it!
The skyfire devs know about it but haven't provided a fix.
My guess is they won't due to our outdated 1.6.
ustream working well today.
I could not get one station to stream yesterday.

Thanks for the tip. You can just drop ROD mobile for the month after right?
After weeks of messing around with settings, re-installs, et al, I find that support for UK users using Skyfire has been removed.
The following is a quote from Skyfire support:
"We've consolidated datacenter operations in the US. Because all connections now appear to come from the US you may not be able to access sites that block non-UK traffic by IP address."
I noticed this because I could only see the international version of BBC News website, which includes adverts, and some videos don't work. TVcatchup doesn't work either.
See http://support.skyfire.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5949&st=0&gopid=30616&#entry30616 for further details, including my grumpy reply.
Don't worry... I'm a Brit in the US... The damn Beeb won't let me watch anything of theirs... I want all those TV license monies I gave them for all those years... Cheap bastiges!!!

It's really annoying isn't it. One little change at their end and suddenly most of my favourite sites have stopped working. Back to Opera I suppose - but it's not the same.
At least there's the fantastic MyPlayer app for watching iPlayer (although I assume it's not ex-pat friendly).

The TV Licence fees you already paid were for the years that you used ol' Auntie Beeb.
The only solutions are a UK proxy (either paid for or free) or, I think, MyPlayer - which uses its own fileserver of 'borrowed' BBC programmes.

I was in the military for 10 years where I spent 6-10 months of each year unable to see a TV. I should at least get a rebate...
I'll look into MyPlayer... Thanks.

Just to confirm MyPlayer does work outside of the UK as I used it to download some programmes before a plane trip back from Spain last week.

Explain what you did, what you downloaded...every detail please.
For some reason Skyfire is able to stream flash content on this site. Click on the video icon and wait for it to buffer. You'll see the player pop up and then the live channel streams.
Skyfire uses a server based flash implementation..it decodes flash video on a server and sends it to you in h.264.
This is not flash on the xoom.

I think he's just trying to explain skyfire has always run flash in browser. It's not a recent work around or even something new, and it works on pretty much all flash videos.

No, it's not.
Exactly - it has nothing to do with Flash.
I am curious how long will they be able to keep it up - who is paying for all this traffic created and servers.
Skyfire is no longer providing its services in Poland - maybe they start to be the victim of their own success?
I want to see real Flash and if I will be able to watch HULU for free like on the PC.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but Google Music Beta works outside of the US. All that's required is a US proxy to request a invite, once you get it and activated your account for Music Beta, it works no matter where you are.
This is true.
Working fine over bell hspa / canadian ip addressing / canadian google acct
Initial invite from US Ip
Using it in the UK fine, signed up with a US proxy
Signed up while living in the US, moved to Holland in the mean time and it works fine.
I just hope I live long enough to upload all of my music.
I got the invite today. I live in Belgium - when visiting market thru browser, says the app is not compatible with either my TF or my Samsung Galaxy S2. However, the music plays fine in the browser - even the TF.
yeah , it works in spain too, tested on my transformer, sgs-II, my wife's o2x and my old N1. I used a vpn with us IP address to signup for the invite and loaded the apk outside the market
Another happy camper here works great on tablet & nexus S.
Not sure o2 are quite as happy though
It's working for me, too. At least via the website and my Nexus One, I can't make the Transformer sync with it or display my music from Google Music. Settings aren't showing anything helpful. Any ideas on that? Did it just work on your Transformers?
What site do you use to give you a us ip?

For me, work is a US IP, so the invite suceeded. After that any network will do.
I've heard Starbucks are US as well, so you could try the invite there.

I get "We're sorry. Music Beta is currently only available in the United States"
Maybe it's because I signed up for it when it was announced at IO conference?
I used my proxy to send myself an invitation, but the page said that they will notify me when it's ready.
Also, for those who want a US ip you can use my proxy. (Link in my signature.)
I won't steal your password, but for your own safety change it first, use proxy and then change back after you are done.
