Has anyone got new iPlayer apk? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Does anyone have the newest iPlayer apk, or does it not work at all with the side loaded flash?

I've not tried to side load the app, but my set up of side loaded flash and the Aurora browser was able to play content on the iplayer website once I set desktop user agent in browser.

Isn't the iplayer app just a bookmark to the mobile site anyway? Whenever I run it it just opens in a browser.

The BBC iPlayer app does not work on the Nexus 7, as I can only presume it uses the "dead" flash.

Not a site but check out the mediafly app in the market. Video blog/website aggregator. Also if you want hulu on your tab use the PlayOn software on your pc and then allshare on your tab.

Any alternative YouTube application?

Rooted 3.1. The YouTube app is taking hell lot of time to load.its buffering ....and keeps on buffering. Any other way to watch YouTube? Market search for other apps for honeycomb returned nothing. Will the Samsung app for the gamester tab 10.1 work on our Ionia?

The browser?
Yeah, the browser works fine here. Even with the HD streams. Every once in a while I find a vid where Youtube blocks "mobile" devices... I just open those up in Firefox Beta with a "Desktop Firefox" UserAgent (you have to install the addon "phony").

[Q] iPlayer issues

I've had my N10 for months but for some reason have never used iPlayer on it.
I went to use it today and when pressing the app it simply opens the mobile iplayer website in Chrome. Is this how it works? Have they been too lazy to actually make an app for Android tabs?
Also when I try to play something it tells me I need to install BBC media player. It is already installed.
I've tried reinstalling both apps and clearing their caches but I'm still having this same problem.
Can anyone help me out here?
just giving this a bump as I'm still having this issue.
I have the media player installed. I get this message even when I open iplayer via the media player app. I've tried clearing the cache of both apps but no improvement.
some help here would be great.
It is a bug that appeared in the last update. Hopefully they will fix it soon as I'm currently having to watch iPlayer on my phone.

I use AOSP browser or any other flash enabled browser like Firefox and play iPlayer in HD straight from the BBC website. I have never encountered a problem doing this. Just remember to request the desktop site in whatever browser you are using.
There are plenty of guides around on how to install and use flash on android 4.2 if you have not got it installed already.

Nexus 10 Reboots When Using BBC iPlayer to Play Downloaded Videos

My Nexus 10 on 4.4.2 reboots when I use the BBC iPlayer to download 1-hour videos and then try to play them later.
This doesn't happen on my Note 3 on 4.3 and I wondered if anyone had the same problem on their Nexus 10.
I have exact same problem. The hack is when you resume playing quickly press the time bar and change where it is playing. You got to be quick.
However much better is away from Android is to use get-iplayer which makes an mp4 file which never expires and you can copy to anything. If you set modes=best you can download HD quality which is much better on the N10 screen then the highest def that the iPlayer app plays.
My recommended iPlayer download server is Raspberry Pi with Rasbian and a large USB drive. I then tend to streamnon the N10 online only content and pile up to watch offline the BBC files.

Thanks for your reply which shows I'm not the only one experiencing problems using the BBC iPlayer on the Nexus 10 running KitKat.
KitKat has been a disaster for me on the Nexus 10 with reboots using the BBC iPlayer and being re-directed to the Play store by websites resulting in more re-boots and overheating.

Those who work around problems are better than those who just suffer them. I can't use the camera on mine! Answer? Don't use the camera (use my N4 instead).
I went through all of 4.2.2, 4.3 and each 4.4 and the best is the most recent, it isn't perfect, but the least-worst.
Trust me, that N10 screen loves HD BBC via get-iplayer.
FYI Dolphin with the Flash hack will stream iplayer HD but the little icons you got during playback are very tricky to press due to the very high def N10 screen, so use get-iplayer it is stable and best approach. I use the iPlayer app only to stream and download but it takes a few practices to learn to press the timebar very quick, I'm in UK currently and doing it plenty of times.

Browser not loading streams not working

Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
I have been having issues trying to search the Web on any browser. It doesn't load all the way unless I stop the loading tab. Also when I want to watch a live stream of a show it doesn't work at all. It worked when I first tried to watch a stream never after. My note 4 can play the stream fine, amd loads Web pages instantly. I have the newest jasmine lollipop. I'm rooted, I have a great signal all bars. I have not factory reset due to not wanting to. By streaming I mean I purchased a cbs subscription to watch shows from their app or website like big brother live feeds they work on note 4 and my laptop instantly but not on note 3.
I fixed it. Thanks for the 41 views.:banghead:
