[access-uk] Re: New version of BBC Iplayer

I'm travelling at present. When I tried to play radio programs using my iPad I got a message saying that I wasn't authorised to play that content. I was automatically taken to the beta iPlayer site cause I was on a mobile device I guess. However, using my laptop, radio contents are still playing fine as they always have even through the new beta iPlayer. So, does anyone know if this is a glitch in the new beta iPlayer or this is some new restriction BBC radio is introducing? I sincerely do hope it's the forma as it's bad enough we already can't use the catch-up service with TV programs while travelling.


Cheers,
Amro

No Peter I meant that the episode I wished to listen to was not there even though I tried several hours apart. Never had this problem before the Beta version. Will try it again today. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Holdstock" <peterholdstock@xxxxxxx>

I've just tried bringing up the beta iplayer and it came up. Not sure if you just mean the archers page won't come up or all of the beta. If you just mean the archers then go to the home page and at the bottom there is a link to go back to the current version. If you mean the whole of the iplayer I would suggest deleting your internet cookies and that should hopefully get it back to using the old version as I'm guessing it will use a cookie to store whether you want the beta or not.

Well it may be fine Peter but as an Archers fan I am trying to listen to the latest episode. Normally I have no problem but now all I am getting is this beta iPlayer and it saying page not found. Well that is disappointing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Holdstock" <peterholdstock@xxxxxxx>

Hi, in case people aren't aware there is now a beta version of the new BBC Iplayer and so far I love it. A few of the new features include;
* Login to save your settings
* Viewing suggestions based on previous viewing and selected categories.
* Choose the categories you want to appear i.e. audio described
* favourites feature which will tell you when new episodes of your favourite series are available or previous ones are about to be removed.

Other features as well and well worth using as all extremely accessible. It also works well on the iphone and I think is already the default player when going to the iplayer site on your iphone although you can't seem to login to save your settings yet.

Just go to the iplayer home page and search for beta and you'll find the link.
Peter
