Public bug reported:

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
