[Bug 741557] Re: BBC iPlayer broken in MythNetvision but not in MythBrowser

 

We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve
Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The
biggest one is that upstream believes this to be fixed in the latest
version. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the
latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a
new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer
versions.

Title:
  BBC iPlayer broken in MythNetvision but not in MythBrowser

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I am currently having a problem with an installation of Mythbuntu on
  an existing Kubuntu 10.04 installation.  I have the Mythbuntu-Updates
  and Mythtv-Updates repositories enabled, and am running Mythtv 0.24
  with the stock Adobe flash player present in the repositories ( ).

  The behaviour I am experiencing is that when I set up BBC iPlayer
  (yes, I am in the UK) in MythNetvision with the bbciplayergrabber.py
  script, I can download all the programme titles fine.  However, if I
  try to lauch one of them, the flash player comes up okay and presents
  me with the usual iPlayer "Click to Play" button in the middle of the
  screen.  However, on clicking or tabbing across to the play button and
  hitting enter, iPlayer spins for a bit, then displays the message
  "This content doesn't seem to be working".  This doesn't apply to all
  content sources, and I can play YouTube and MTV titles absolutely
  fine.

  NB. If I navigate to the BBC iPlayer website using MythBrowser,
  however, then the content works fine, albeit in a small (too small)
  window.

  So I wonder if this could be a problem with screen resolution (not
  worked out how to alter that yet), something missing from the
  bbciplayergrabber.py script.  I'm very happy to be entirely
  interactive with sorting the bug out, if pointed in the right
  direction!

  Thanks,

  Chris
