[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
The BBC have specifically requested the removal of the BBC content from this application, citing their syndication policy. This request has been honoured in full with the latest update. Unfortunately I am not aware of any way to apply for an official distribution licence, although I am open to suggestions.

Regrettably, without such a licence the BBC content will not be returning to the myPlayer application in any form.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Ironically, I became a myplayer premium user just a couple of weeks ago!

I have taken it upon myself to email the BBC to ask them to overturn this decision:

"For the last few months, I have been able to use a 3rd party app (myplayer) for my HTC HD2 to download mobile content from iplayer.

I read you have contacted the developer and have 'requested the removal of the BBC content from this application, citing [your] syndication policy' which ironically begins 'The BBC tries to make its content available as widely as possible. This means that we make some of our content available on demand through other parties. This is referred to as syndication.'

Myplayer is a high quality application that ensured that only UK residents were accessing BBC content and in no way could they be seen as damaging the BBC brand. Initially I thought that the product was official as it looks so professional.

Given that there is no (easy) way I can access iplayer content on my mobile phone, could I please ask that you reverse this decision. The developer would be interested in an official relationship, personally I can see you doing a lot worse than entering into such a relationship to enable people like myself the ability to enjoy your programmes from as many sources as possible.

Thank you in advance"

Fingers crossed!

I Got BBC iPlayer Working on The HTC HD2 through Opera brouser, but when I link to a streaming media file in iPlayer, it opens up the HTC Streaming Media app and than i get an error. How can I change that so it opens up in Windows Media Player or Coreplayer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Why not just keep using 1.850 of myPlayer?

No reply from the BBC to my complaint, so I'll just keep using 1.850 for as long as I can. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] looby:
No BBC content..

That is what I am doing. Fry must be gutted after spending so much of his time creating this excellent app. ...:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
for me the greatest shame is that the latest version probably fixes the issues I was having with it :( but with no BBC i cant see the point in upgrading from v1.85. such a shame for all us licence paying people too!

I was going to buy the app as soon as the bugs I saw were sorted
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Which bugs do you have? I've not noticed anything wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lizdav:
Does anyone still have an installer for Windows 1.85 version?

I updated via my HD2 before I realised the impact. I still have the 1.096 cab, but that doesn't work.

Please pm to avoid any BBC lawyers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] optiknerv:
Send a PM my way as well please. I did the same.... DOH!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] melloyello:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jools5431:
Any chance one of you could PM me as well, I'm also only on this forum looking for the previous version as I also upgraded without reading.

1.850

I've found Fry's handywork here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] optiknerv:
Could you upload this elsewhere?? All download slots full and i'm not a rapidshare pro user.

EDIT: Never mind I got it now and... errrr... found THIS alternative mirror :D:D

Earlier version

I have the cab of a previous version which I can update to 1.85 and then no further. PM me if you would like a copy emailing.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billybag:
This did not work for me. Is there a way to do it in the registry perhaps?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
I got a reply tonight, unfortunately didn't seem to answer any of my points?

"Thank you for contacting the BBC iPlayer Support Team.

I understand that you are unhappy that BBC iPlayer can no longer be accessed via the Myplayer.

Myplayer was not a licensed distributor of BBC content online or on mobile. The BBC routinely looks for unauthorised usage of our brand and our content across all platforms and when we encounter it we work to resolve the issue. If on investigation we find that a company's service proposition does not adhere to our standard licence terms and conditions, we will take steps to remedy the issue.

Once again thank you for contacting BBC iPlayer.

Kind Regards"

I have tried asking once again what the issue was and why they can't just work with Fry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] looby:
BBC syndication Policy..

Thanks grayme, do you think it's worth a shot sending the email to Spencer Kelly on BBC "Click" to see if he has anything to say about it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
It's worth a shot, why don't you do that, you can link to this thread showing the strength of feeling? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I'm guessing you mean the radio stations... I don't think the live BBC TV channels will work without VLC. Most of the radio content is now loaded via mms (I found the underlying streams from the asx feeds you gave me) so they should play without too much effort.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zooby:
Works great HTC Touch HD with orange stock rom.

Using coreplayer everything works.

(though the 3g streams depend on the overlay used in coreplayer)

Thanks for this I was one of the unlucky people that couldn't get iplayer working on my touch HD before this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] funem:
No, seriously the BBC live TV is working now over my wireless connection and I have no settings in my VLC server settings. My connection is straight through to the internet, I haven't even got my PC on at the moment.

Just been looking here, there are live streams on the BBC website, high quality as well... http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/watchlive/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Well I didn't change anything on purpose - but it seems that the compatibility check has been removed. Have you got the stream working in CorePlayer? On mine it hangs (just tried it with the BBC Parliament stream) so I will probably have to put a confirmation message in to prevent users such as myself accidentally loading it without VLC.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
I can't get mine to stream any way. Tried to play Live TV without VLC, but with no luck! Can you tell us your secret?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
tiffy,

I haven't got round to creating a YouTube video as yet - but I will do soon.

In the mean time please could you test the streaming on your media server (PC) by following the steps detailed in this post..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501131&p=3638555

..and let me know how you get on.

Cheers!

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] funem:
Yes they open straight in core player, the quality is ok ( remember some chanels like BBC1 is not streaming its content at the moment for legal reasons ) BBC2 is happily streaming snooker right now, sound is a bit iffy though !

BBC 3 is available online but not showing up in your app as online
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
Fry, thanks, but no luck with that, just crashed out: main info: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. Sorry!

What settings do you have on coreplayer that you think I should be looking at so as to get the Live TV without the VLC?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] funem:
This is a bit of a mystery then. I have no settings in your "Streams Setting" options page, and core player is just set to the default options. As far as BBC goes I now only have BBC2 available to view but I have looked online on my PC and BBC3 and 4 and 1 are not available anyway as a stream

Is this a real player stream ?

Edit:- BBC 1 and 2 are now streaming on your app, the same as what is available online now on my PC.

Edit 2 :- Dont know if it makes a difference, but my wireless connection goes straight via my wireless hub and not via my PC. So my Phone is going straight out via my hub.

Edit 3 : - Working over 3g connection as well, BBC2 and 1 are streaming fine....

If its a bug, please dont fix it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
I'v even tried typing those new 'Watchlive' addresses into Coreplayer's URL section - without luck!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
Just a quick question. Is this Watchlive something new today? If so, then I guess your live TV could be linked to it potentially?

Cheers for your help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] funem:
Thats a flash stream that works on your PC, its not the one Fry is using and it will not work in core player
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
Cheers for that Funem. Wasn't sure. Did forget to mention that it worked on Skyfire, so was wondering if it would work on Coreplayer, especially as catch up works via coreplayer.

Forgive my ignorance on what is actually possible, just thinking aloud and using my logic here and little understanding I have, which is none in the programming area. :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Well this is interesting. I still definitely can't get it working on my CorePlayer - even via wifi. The stream is an SDP package which I believe is encoded via the H264 video codec.

funem - do you have any non-default options set in CorePlayer? What are your settings on the Network preferences page? Is SDP ticked on the File Associations preferences page?

I guess it could also be a codec requirement. Have you downloaded any additional codecs to your device?

.. and for completeness - what device are you running it on? What version of the Windows Mobile OS? Compact Framework 3.5?

Cheers!

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I think we are in the same boat. I believe that it must be a setting in CorePlayer, or perhaps a codec. Let's wait for funem's response to see if we can get it working ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DMAND:
Using the new version of your app and like funem I too now can stream live BBC without any VLC messages over HSPDA. Quality isnt as good as watch again, but its fine for quick viewing.

On O2, using latest coreplayer v1.3 I think.

Brilliant!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Could well be the version of CorePlayer then.. I have 1.25 at the moment.. I will upgrade to the latest version to see if that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
Snap - Coreplayer 1.25 too. Do you know where I can upgrade to the latest version from?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Still looking for the upgrade myself.. I've got a bad feeling we may have to purchase 1.30 as new :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
Yep, had quick look myself, have the same feeling. Though I'll have a look through some files I have at home, later on as there maybe the latest version in them, though not holding my breathe on that!

I think maybe this could be of assistance?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yorkshire Yellow:
Cab attached. When you open it for the first time, make sure to uncheck the 'Update automatically' box, that way you don't get upgraded to the most recent version without BBC iplayer.

'file not found' in CorePlayer?

with version 1.85, when opening iplayer programmes, the link seems to be sent to CorePlayer ok, (I've installed both on the Internal Storage of the Touch Diamond) but CorePlayer then gives an error 'File no found' followed by the !rtsp link. Is this a config error?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
anyone else finding they cannot use 1.850 to download BBC iplayer anymore?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cees1969:
I am and often get stream unavailable message for Sky News and even BBC News.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Alas I find now there are only two ways I can get BBC programmes (I have already paid for) on my HD2:

Download from newsgroups

Download the DRM files and remove the protection via Daniusoft Video Converter.

Thanks BBC. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christopherwoods:
Ta for posting up the CAB, I used to have myPlayer 1.85 on a lender HD2 after my old phone broke, but it never quite worked well enough... Graphics horsepower suffered. Then, of course, the iPlayer streams were removed. Just got my own Touch Pro 2 and this streams the standard quality RTSP streams in CorePlayer perfectly over HSDPA :D Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alisontin:
For me MyPlayer works fine on Wifi?

It seems that CorePlayer directly can access the internet on Wifi but not on a 3G link?

What is interesting is that my diamond can access YouTube using the HTC supplied application via 3G. So CorePlayer should be able to as well????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
I'd installed this as without being able to download from iplayer it has lost its purpose to me.

however, I reinstalled it to test and on an 'H' connection, Homes under the hammer on BBC1 was on using Coreplayer.

I'm on an HD2 using 1.85.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darthhomer:
uhhh... Giganews.....I'm coming back......

Grayme

I used to get all my BBC programs from dedicatedtv.net/forum/. It shut down last year and left me hanging for the 720p HD version of the Doctor Who Christmas Special 2010 and had to settle for a sub par version. I havent been in the newsgroups for 3yrs or so. I remember Doctor Who had its own group, were do you find the other programming. since i have to purchase a new reader, what do you suggest, I've always been fond of Forte Agent.

Thanx in Advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
I currently download from the BBC iPlayer and use Daniusoft Video Converter to remove the DRM encryption so I can watch it when I choose on my phone.

If I miss something, I look on nzbclub or binsearch and download with grabit (which is free). This is a grey area, but I get round it by downloading what in effect I have paid for with the licence fee.

If myPlayer was able to do what it used to, I'd be sooooooo happy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tNEGA:
Cool Yorkshire Yellow thanks, please ignore the PM.

As a new pro user any useful links for adding live links etc most welcome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pete_S:
I find get_iplayer the best tool for downloading iplayer content to your pc and transferring to your phone. If you install all the options it will save as mp4. You can even choose the resolution right up to HD

The latest working version is on the infradead.org website - google for it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darthhomer:
Thanx but im in the US & have tried all dif ways to use the iPlayer and none work. Was gonna go the vpn route, but i heard they're blocking that now too. Just canceled my hotfile acct since theyre in hot water and deleting copywrited stuff off their servers. I also saw that when the iPlayer goes international shows offered wont be most recent programs and if it is headed to BBCAmerica even months later, that wont even be available. Forget catchup as well.

I could just move....

XDA Premium App

Epic 4g

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
This program is far from the easiest to get started, but I seem to have managed it.

It's great! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pete_S:
Just a hint to make reading the programme list easier: find the file tv.cache (on my xp box it's under /documents and settings/admin/.get_iplayer/), associate and open it with notepad, turn off "word wrap" and you get a beautiful listing of all the current progs.

So much easier than trying to use the get_iplayer console window
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Just tried that, but to be honest I think it is easier formatted in the get_iplayer window.

This program is what myplayer could have become (with subscriptions, etc), but seeing as how it also had an order to stop developing from the BBC, how come it's still going and myplayer isn't?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pete_S:
It was going for several years in its original form, playing a cat and mouse game with the beeb. Every so often the beeb would change the iphone authentication procedure and every time the developer would "mend" the program again! But last year the developer was threatened by the beeb, he stopped mending it, and the broken program lapsed.

Then, from the ashes, another dev took it up, not using the iPhone streams any more but with flv to mp4 conversion, making it even more useful. I suppose it's down to just how threatened the dev feels and whether someone else is willing to take the risk for a while. It warms my heart ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xavierdemon:
I just download from BBC iPlayer, switch my HD2 to 'Disk Drive' mode copy the wmv file to the phone, switch back to ActiveSync mode load file with Windows Media player on the phone, it asks to grab the license from the internet - I click yes, job done.

Saves all the hassle of this converting or using third party software rubbish :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
I never recalled it being so easy :(

I wish I could get get_iplayer working again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
How do you 'just download' from iplayer? I can save the sdp file to stream later, but I cannot download the video to watch later (there is no link on iplayeI, at least not from opera mobile)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xavierdemon:
Sorry I mean I downoad content from iPlayer on my desktop computer, there are download options on iPlayer's website.

Once you've downloaded it, you can copy it to your phone if you switch your phone to Disk Drive mode and then you should be able to play it on your phone.

Thank you so much, I will try this later tonight. The previous version did not work for me on my Dell Axim x51v; installed fine but did not connect to anything. Fingers crossed this update does better for me!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
Thanks Fry, will download and check it out now.

Does digital TV only work with CorePlayer? I've tried it with HTCVideoPlayer - nothing happens, Windows StreamingPlayer - 'failed to connect', Windows MediaPlayer - 'cannot play file - corrupted or unsupported'. CorePlayer works fine, but it's not my favourite player.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shredder11:
Hmmm...just installed and I get the 'Failed to load content - unable to establish a connection.' message, despite my internet connection being active and working; I tested with UC Browser and that loaded pages fine. I have also got a fully working CorePlayer installed. I am using a Dell Axim x51v with WM6.1 Classic (Lenny L11 Bld 20273.1.3.3 LennySh).

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Thanks for the feedback.

At the present time we have only restored the CorePlayer streams. Hopefully we will be able to restore the RTSP links in the next update.

Which media player do you have? CorePlayer is a requirement at this stage (please see my reply in the post above).

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shredder11:
I'm using CorePlayer.v1.3.6.Build.7427
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Apologies, didn't realise you had stated that in your original reply.

What connection are you using (wifi or 3G)?

Does CorePlayer give you the "Failed to connect ..." message or is this a message from myPlayer?

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shredder11:
I'm using WiFi and the message is from myPlayer immediately after launching it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
That is strange. Perhaps it has cached a default view that is no longer available. Please can you try selecting "View -> TV Streams -> Digital TV (UK)" to see if it refreshs the view correctly?

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shredder11:
That did not work and I even went into "Menu -> Options -> Player Configuration" and selected the seperate DTV/TV/Radio to make sure they all point to the CorePlayer player.exe; I even manually pointed it to the file to make absolutely sure.

The previous version of your app launched without this error but when I clicked on channels to view, it failed to connect.

Thanks for your help so far, I appreciate it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nkeyman:
Hi good to see this app is still being updated. I do have a problem though just can't get it to work on my hd2. say for example I go to watch live uk digital. I get a message pop up in myplayer saying that it can't get a connection. I've tried with WiFi and 3g and still the same problem. been over the settings a 100 times ;).

Low quality works fine too for me.
