BBC iplayer can't find in the market - Desire General

Is this officially available now. I had read reports it was but cannot find in the market.
Anyone with the apk would be much appreciated.

UK only so if you're not there you can't get it. If you are in the UK, what ROM are you using?

I actually found the app quite poor actually.
it buffers constantly - even on wifi

I am in London. I am using leedroid 2.3c. I thought I had access to all markets?

No idea then, works in stock 2.29.405.5
As said, it's not that good though

I hope they fix the buffering - it wouldn't be so bad then - interestingly it looks almost identical to how the myPlayer worked when it had the BBC content (only myPlayer didnt seem to have issues with buffering constantly)

HTC Desire Flash not work properly

I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining things but I successfully went on megavideo and watched an episode of the scrubs (=P) but now when I try it says this type of flash is not supported :S and on Youtube it used to load videos fullscreen when I pressed play but now it says Go Upgrade...
Is this due to a new firmware update? I heard a new one was released but I never went through any installing process.
I'd like my megavideo and Youtube back! =O Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've noticed video on the BBC website isn't working now either which it was working fine before.....
same thing here, youtube videos says, go upgrade....
The desire runs flash lite version 4. YouTube, iPlayer and most other flash apps run on the full version of flash, 10.1. Some things in 10.1 won't be backward compatible with Flash lite 4, so won't display correctly, or even run atall. When Android gets flash support officially it will run 10.1 but for now,you will have to do with the app variants.
ah but why could I view them before?

I know that iPlayer won't work and never has, but the other videos for example clips on the BBC News site always worked fine and now they dont.

I think they might have updated their application, and perhaps increased the minimal version number needed. That would explain why you get that message now.
I've been getting this too, been trying to load videos from various sources, as flash seemed to work in Farmville on facebook (I almost died when I saw it loaded up), and now nothing, the only ones that work for me are youtube videos, which I believe are handled through the HTC Streaming app. All other flash files on sites just give me the yellow '!' triangle, not a pretty sight at all.

I've also had this problem.
BBC website works fine on my Desire, as does playing a full flash movie. Try this:
http://www.spschat.com/Shocked/ep01.swf (it's funny btw, if you like South Park)
Just watched that full screen with no issues over 3G
UStream.tv doesn't though - get a triangle

So, when can we expect some hot APK's from the Desire HD/Z?

Since the device and the ROM are out. Shouldn't we be getting some hot APK's heading our way?
There aren't any really...not on the stock ROM
Even the DLNA remote app "Conntected Devices" is a disappointment, Twonky (free server) and Remote Media (server and client) apps provide this much better. HTC Locations ("powered by Route66") online navigation is not replacing Gmaps either.
One can assume that if there were any interesting apps they would have made it to the Desire already
I would like HTC Locations on my Desire.
So it packs the exact same stuff as on our Desire...? Couldn't we like atleast get the improved media player with equalizers?

all the sence .apk's media player, wigets, camera ect arnt compatible with our version of sence anyway.....
All the new apps can be used on a Desire HD Rom port.
They are all HTC apps so require sensev2 frameworks to run anyway.
Damn... Too bad..

Twonky works for you? It keeps crashing on open when I try it.
Yes, Twonky works perfect for me on RCMixHD 0.7a SenseHD ROM. BTW with the next update of HTC Locations Tomtom will take over online map display, with routing (turn-by-turn navigation) offered as a premium feature, for Europe and Asia only. I guess the TT Android navigation app announced over a year ago will not materialise then.

i was holding out for TT for a good couple of months, then i got fed up and thought id try sygic... asides from being *slightly* less "im driving make it simple", i think overall its a better navigator.
only the ETAs are a bit retarded on sygic, TT always was pretty damn close. sygic doesnt allow for traffic or lights i dont think.
I would like Htc likes and HTC HUBS apk ported to us.

[Q] sreaming via tvcatchup

Hi guys has anyone had trouble streaming? For me specifically via m.tvcatchup.com? Even on low quality option I get loading video every two mins and sometimes 'sorry this video cannot be played'. I have been using wifi as I do not have unlimited internet data.

i think that is some problem with mobile site of that tvcatchup...
Because all other sites work properly :/

TV Catchup
I am running ARHD 7.03 ROM on my HTC Desire HD (with nosense patch) and also finding problems ...
The display is all distorted when running the standard inbuild HTC Stream Player v1.5
If I install the ARHD 6.32 ROM it all works fine and very smooth indeed
This uses HTC Stream Player v1.0
I have tried to install Stream Player v1.0 over the top of ARHD 7.03 but this still does not work ...
Unfortunately I am new here and still not 'worthy' enough to post a comment in the ARHD developers thread
Has anyone any idea why the display would be distorted for me and if there's a fix or a HTCStreamPlayer.apk I could patch over it to get it working

We'd love to help you out mate but tiny problem. You're in the SE Xperia arc forum and not the HTC Desire HD forum.
Plus we don't have that ROM for our arc. So even if we want to help, we're pretty clueless.

[Q] grooveshark html5 issue

Hello everybody
I am a new owner of a samsung galaxy note and an addict of html5 grooveshark
I used to listen to groove shark on my htc sensation (ICS) and now it's impossible to use the html5 grooveshark on the galaxy note 2.
I tried several browsers (chrome, firefox, dauphin) , i tried to install flash player, I wipped my phone and installed revolution HD, I tried all of this on wifi and 3g and I still have the same problem :
when I select a song to play , or a have a continuous download circle or the song wont play and jump directly to the next one.
I tried the grooveshark app and it works (for the radio) but since the html5 web site should work, I am not really busy to pay for something I can get for free.
Does anybody faced this situation ?
Thank for your help

Thank you for your answer
I tried tiny shark and it's working.
But it is strange the the html5 website is not working on a brand new phone.
Do you have the same issue on your phone?

I do on the ATT version.
The app itself barely works too.
Not sure what happened. They haven't updated it in a while. Still at 2.7.1

Question about streaming.

I am looking for a cheap emulator box but primarily will Ouya as a replacement for my ATV1 streaming device.
I stream video from certain XBMC addons and was wondering if anyone can provide feedback from streaming video through XBMC on a Ouya?
Thank you.
So far (past week or so) my experience has been very impressive, I have been streaming my personal movie collection via local network) however for some reason (think I remember reading they screwed something up in their firmware update) the ouya crashes and hangs via ethernet, I was starting to get really peed off, read that, pulled the plug; all good!? DTS currently doesn't work (someone please correct and enlighten me if I'm wrong), which is a pain in the yaris, but is apparently "in the works", the ouya team seem like a bunch of active awesome people though, so I have full confidence they will work with the XBMC dudes fully to get that sorted! I was previously using a sumvision cyclone nano slim plus mk3 (1GB RAM version) with an adapted XBMC 12.0 version for the Pivos Xios (same beast essentially) which was flawless! I am yet to venture down the route of plugins though, so my response may be useless!)

I successfully use 1Channel / SportsDevil / TVcatchup / Twitch.tv on my two Ouyas. I've recently set up a Google Music addon that works great too.
This is both using the original sideloaded XBMC and the one available in the Discover menus.
I stream a lot of MP4s across my home network, thogh it seems to struggle a bit with XVids for some reason.
I use it to watch movies and shows from mashup, 1channel, sportsdevil, icefilms and few others. Everything works really well and I only have buffering when everyone in the house is using the WiFi. Even then its not bad. May happen once or twice a show if that.
