Nokia :: N900 / IPlayer And BBC News Videos No Longer Work
Jun 29, 2010
ever since bbc moved to flash 10 a couple of weeks ago, iplayer and bbc news videos no longer work on the n900. so does nokia have any plans to fix this by providing flash 10 to n900 usersis there a workaround that can be used in the mean time?lack of a functioning iplayer is a huge deal in uk as that is probably the most viewed flash site in uk (equivalent to claiming that the phone supports flash but doesn't play Internet). so i hope someone from nokia would take it seriously and break their silence on the availability of flash 10 on the platform.

I have recently bought a Nokia N8 with Belle and BBC iPlayer.
I can play BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 & Parliament live (& maybe others) but when I try BBC News live all I get is "Loading". I am using BT Broadband Wifi, I'm on O2 SIM free, and live in the UK.
Everything was OK on my previous N97. I can't seem to find anything about this on Nokia forums or the BBC. I have just put a query to the BBC but they don't guarantee to answer them all?

Can anyo0ne explain why the N900 cannot play streaming video like BBC iplayer or TV Catchup. Even you tube videos are blocky and jumpy. I thought one of the great selling features was that it could play flash. The iphone yet again wins in this category - may not be flash but they seem to have a workaround that works unlike the N900 - or am I doing something wrong? Is this another underpowered nokia device? I don't understand when the lesser models like the 5800 and the N97 can do these things - Why do Nokia get is so nearly right but in the end always seem to fail. And please don't tell me the N900 is a "work in progress" there are some things it should be capable of out of the box.
Current Devices:
N900, N97, 5800 & iPhone.
nukea - we will get the perfect device in the end (but not this year!)

I installed the latest Nokia OS for my N86 yesterday, v 21.006. I now find that the BBC iPlayer doesn't work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled, and downloaded fresh videos of Dr Who etc, etc.
But still I get the error message "unable to play either sound or video clip, Trying to play partially." And then all i get is the sound of Dr Who fighting the daleks. This all worked fine before I applied the update. I can still watch videos recorded using the camera, and via the France 24 application.
I will call Nokia Helpline, but am expecting to get told that this is due to a problem with the BBC iPlayer.

I tried restoring the software on my phone and it just says that the software is already updated. I don't want to update, because the update on my phone does not work. I have no virtual keyboard. Well I do but its not the full and correct one. Also there are quite a few applications that will no longer run since the last up date. I need to re-install and there is no option to.

I used the map downloader from Nokia to download maps to N900. Even after downloading complete germany maps, N900 still downloads more data . Later on I just copied the cities folder from my E71 to N900. Even after that there were no maps preinstalled. I am using PR1.1. Any hints

I have a N900 and know the Ovi software does not work with it. I am trying to find a PC Messaging Application which I can use to type and send SMS from the PC, and which would help me back up my SMS from the N900 to the PC. Does anyone know of any such applications?

The WH-205 earphones that came with my N900 have died; there is an internal break and it has lost sound to one ear. I don't want another pair of them, I'm looking for an alternative set of in-ear earphones with a mic. Can anyone suggest something that has been tested with an N900? I bought a pair of Klipsch S2m earphones which had been suggested, but they don't work, they make a strange and loud clicking noise, so it seems the N900 is sensitive about which earphones/headsets work.Ideally I'm after earphones that have a cable, so I can use them on an aeroplane. Don't mind if they are Bluetooth too, as long as wired use is possible. I don't mind if special buttons don't work, as long as the audio and mic work correctly.Can anyone suggest anything that has been proven to work in practice?

Is there any hope, that this Superb Phone would some day do what the much simpler phones already ages do: Work as Voice Guiding Car Navigator? What is the matter, why not? When?

I can't get the WLAN to work without a SIM-card in the phone. I have the same problem if there is a SIM in the phone but I choose not to enter then pin when starting the phone. I have set up a WLAN that works fine with the SIM enabled so it seems as the settings are fine. Is there something special I have to do to enable the WLAN when there is no SIM in the phone?

I decided to go with PC Suite for Sync. I think it's a great program (I have never owned a Nokia.) PC Suite does say it is not fully compatible yet with N900. For sync though I have had no trouble. I noticed the backup feature didn't work - it thinks my phone is not connected. But the N900 does have a"Backup feature" on it. So I am guessing I can just backup the N900 using the N900 and then plug it into the computer and read it as a mass storage device - and copy the backup information onto the computer. That should work for backup/restore until they give an update to the program. Is that what others are doing here?
As for music... I don't know what t do. There is Media Sync for Blackberry which will transfer iTunes (not purchased iTunes unless you unlocked yours (which I did) it will transfer your iTunes play lists onto your Blackberry.
Is there something that will get music in the iTunes format onto the N900 - or will I have to convert my music files?

I'm sorry to bother you, but I have two questions related to my N900. I have a headset for my N95 8GB and it works fine, but the media buttons on the headset won't work with my new phone. Is there a way to make them work or is there a headset with those buttons that will work with N900? My second question is about zip-programs. What is the best program available for N900 for zipping/unzipping files with my phone? I am not so familiar with linux/maemo so I plugged my N900 into my pc and unzipped them with PC.Otherwise I have been very happy with my new phone.

I came to know that we can use OVI Maps in Offline in N900 from the below url
http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/tips/maps/. But it asks a connection to proceed and search in OVI Maps doesn't work well. As well the locations are not auto populated. guide me to use OVI Maps effectively in offline in N900.
FYI, I downloaded the required maps in to my N900 using Nokia OVI Suite

I've only had my Lumia 710 for two weeks. Up until 4 days ago, the touch screen focus attribute was working perfectly. I was taking pictures and it simply stopped working.I've since tried resetting the camera options back to defaults with no luck. I recently updated the phones software pn 10.18.2012 with no change either. I also took out the battery and sim card out of frustration and obviously had no luck.

When I use BBC iplayer the program selected runs ok, but if I try to move it on through the slide bar it moves it on but then displays the slide bar permanently and the rotating circle, which is annoying.

I have finally solved the issue of setting you the BBC iplayer so it asks you how you would like to connect when you run the application rather then it always by default connecting to the service provider in my case (orange).
Step 1 - download the newest software update for the N97 you will need software version V 20.0.019 software version date is 13-10-09.
Step 2 - download the latest BBC iplayer version this should be version 2.5.0(141).
Step 3 - from the phone go to menu then go to web once opened go to options then settings once in settings go to general and set access point to ask when needed.
Step 4 - from menu go to Videos & TV go to option in Video and TV then settings and set network connection to ask when needed if its not already set to this.
Step 5 - from menu go to settings then connectivity then destinations then internet and set your required WIFI connection to priority 1.
Step 6 - from menu go to applications then open realplayer then settings then go to streaming settings then network and the access point in use should display your required WIFI connection e.g. mine shows my home network talktalk. If your required network is not displayed then open the access point in use and select the required WIFI connection.
Step 7 - turn your phone off and take out the battery for 2mins then turn your phone back on.
Step 8 - when the phone turns on and the phone displays select connection you should see internet underneath it should be displayed your WIFI connection. Do not select anything. Instead go to options then go to select access point and choose your service provider e.g. orange Internet.
Step 9 - once your phone is set-up and all widgets are set all you have to do to use BBC iplayer is go to options on the home screen select content to offline mode then content to online mode then open the BBC iplayer. The phone will then ask for a connection select your wifi connection and your away.
i hope the above steps help you and work as they worked for me just remember after you do the 8 steps above you only need to repeat step 8 everytime you wish to use BBC iplayer.

Just upgraded from an N8 to the 808. All good but I am getting the unable to obtain licence message for downloaded programmes from the Iplayer. I have I installed the WMDRM DLA plug in but no joy. Checked my N8 and this is still able to acquire the licence.

I have problem with my X6-00 16GB primary camera. When I turn camera on, screen stays black, only this focusing white box and other symbols are visible on screen. But no picture. When I push "take picture button", then focusing box starts blinking and stays like this, until camera goes standby mode. Secondary camera, in front of the phone is working fine. Also I have a Flashlight program (Brightlight v1.0) on my phone and it doesn't turn camera flash on, like it should be.
I gave my phone to friend who reset phone to the factory settings. After that camera worked for a while, but one day it was again black. I have done a couple of times software reinstall with nokia ovi suite on my computer. After that camera works couple of days or only couple of hours and then goes black again. Software version is the newest for that phone, v32.0.002.

Has anybody heard anything what's going on with the old Nokia Sports Tracker? Is the new company doing anything with the software or is it dead? Their home page does not shed much light on the situation.

I've been successfully watching TV on my Nokia 5800 using the preinstalled BBC iPlayer app for sometime without problem. But for the past month, although I can connect to the app, and browse through the content pages, whenever I press click to play nothing happens - and the programme content (tv and radio) simply doesn't play. Any thoughts? Is RealPlayer involved?
Device software version: V 31.0.101 of 16-09-2009
Custom version: 31.0.101.217.08 of 05-11-2009
Language set: 01

I work nights, and until last year was able to convert BBC Listen Again radio programmer to RealPlayer and listen to them again in the evening when at work with headphones on my N5800XM I used to convert (using iplayer converter) the files, but for some reason the BBC stopped the RealPlayer format and since then I have been unable to listen again to any local programmes (think they are in windows media format now).
I say Listen Again, but I can listen to the main National BBC radio programmes, such as, BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, etc., but I desperately want to listen to Local BBC Radio.
Am I doing something wrong? I can access Iplayer through my mobile, and find the required programme. When I press yes, it takes me straight back to the "Do you want to download Iplayer" and wont let me go any further. I already have Iplayer on my mobile and can watch TV progrmmes and as said before National Radio Programmes.
Getting desperate now, and thought it a bit too trivial to mention it on the forums, but it is sooooo frustrating. Someone else must have come across this problem. Or maybe, it is something you can't do and then I can stop fretting.
