OK I seem to have worked around the issue - it seems that the URL
generated by the bbciplayer.html file is wrong in some way.

A google search pointed me to this page:

http://upyourego.com/pip/

And by entering VIDEOCODE as the episode code I was able to cut & paste
the generated code straight into the obvious line in bbciplayer.html,
adding the width & height entries at the beginning & it all seemed to
work....

Still not perfect - having to click on the Flash player is a PITA as I
normally use just an IR remote and it seems to take ages / not always
escape out when requested, anyone got workarounds for these yet...?

Now if we can have an mtv.co.uk page as well.... I get "go away you're
not in the USA" from mtv.com ....

Title:
  BBC iPlayer broken in MythNetvision but not in MythBrowser

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

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
