i havent checked yet because i came home late

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I think it was noobmonkey that checked this earlier.
iPlayer works but is very jittery.
Itv player just gives a black screen.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

yup... Iplayer very jittery -- was on 3g - unwatchable really.

ITV loads up the webpage, but not the actual movie part - not sure what player on the page they are using, but don't think it is flash?

Just installed mplayer + KMplayer and will be testing MV4 (Mpeg4) movies on it very soon (Each 1.2gb - so should be good quality if they play lol!)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Test out iplayer on wifi connection please?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

not using my wifi at the moment as my bro is downloading loads of things, will be an unfair test - and got 3.5g here, so probably quicker lol

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

So when did you get your n900?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Itv Player uses flash 10 where as the n900 uses flash 9.4 im sure an update will sort this though :D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

tried the iplayer on wifi still jittery picture lags behind sound very poor to be honest

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

If iplayer support is not added i will be very disappointed, as i bought this phone hoping that it will match the iplayer playback of the iphone, which is amazing

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Lol - check my signature :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Heres one :p

Did you get an email and tracking number when dispatched?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

ive got to agree with you the whole point of this phone is its ability to be a computer and if it cant even play bbc iplayer thats no good especially when you can get the likes of sky sports on the iphone which is flawless

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

nothing, no emails, no phone calls, no money taken, no dispatch note, nada :)

as it's special next day delivery a tracking number would be useless, Royal mail doesn't work the same way as courier companies :( - they don't update systems till a day later, by which time you should have it :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

As said earlier, flash 10 should work :) - Maybe fire of an email to BBC to ask if they can help develop a downloader for the iplayer :) - you never know they might :)
As playing it locally will be fine hehe :)

The sky sports player partially downloads and plays it differently doesn't it?

Youtube works, so we know it's possible :) - just need other things to catch up with the n900 :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I guess you weren't expecting it to arrive, and you were generally surprised, because i sure would be :o

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

not sure exactly how the skysports worked i do know he (my mate) watches it live tho and the quality is unreal wish i could get on n900 but sky sports say ipod touch and iphone only for the live tv

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

i was the same was here on thursday lying in sorting office for me and i didnt know till saturday, no phone call no email no money taken MPD account still says ready for dispatch

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

well, on thursday i wasn't sure - but i did order pretty early, so was hoping mine was posted out - would have settled for saturday tho ;)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Well it's supply and demand i suppose - we need to kick up support to get the bugger companies to listen :)

If the tv suppliers have api's then it would be really easy (You-tube'ish).... BBC is one step closer as they already have a downloader - the iphone wouldnt cope with the files sizes, but the n900 would - so should be alot easier :)
Sky... who knows if they would :) - i have a sky account, but have never tried their online service.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

yeah i have sky account also but they want you to pay extra to use there online service unless you have multiroom in which case it is free do you have multi room?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Just checked, skyplayer on the pc uses Microsoft Silverlight.... so wouldnt work on the N900 i don't think :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

yup, got sky+ and multi room, sitting here watching Sky movies whilst n900'ing :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

About a month ago, i tried every possible way to contact bbc iplayer peepz, and let them know that they should really consider an iplayer app for the n900.

Had no reply or anything.

Stuck for idea's.

Anyone know where the iplayer head office is, maybe one of use who live nearby should pop in to have a chat.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I know 3 people who work for the BBC, doesn't mean much - but 2 are producers, and like new ideas :) - will see if they can worm our opinions in :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

yeah ive sky plus but no multi room so atleast you could try the sky player for free,

Yeah i think sky would have to produce a downloadable app like iphone

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

i suppose what we are forgetting is the phones just out and iphone is streets ahead on the app front so in time im sure all will be fine

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'll give it a go tomorrow :)

Copying mpeg4 file across now and crossing fingers the dvd's work :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Ive heard so much ******** about how the n900 won't be capable of bbc iplayer its sick.

Was wondering the iphone doesnt actually have an n900 application, its like a mobile version of the webpage, is it not possible to just give n900 acess to that webpage.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

thats weird im actualy downloading movie to, how you copying to phone? pcsuite?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Ha i cant really see MS wanting to help support something thats
a) open source
and b) not windows based.

Although having said that they do release products for osx so
i guess it could be a maybe. hmmmmmm

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that bit?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Just used explorer, drag n drop :) - lol - don't tell me it will fail before i try to play it, 1 min left lol!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

well i think i will try your way first alot quicker

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I meant, the iphone access's a mobile version of the iplayer on the web, through the web browser. Whilst other phones such as n97 have applications which operate that function.

Since the iphones support is through a webpage, is it not possible to enable the n900 to access that specific webpage, so we can stream the iplayer?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yes possibly :) - if it doesnt use any software that needs to be installed :) - pretty sure it's an app not a webpage tho?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Well, scuppered by the DRM - which the help pages said it didn;t have.

Just sorting out that issue and will try again :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

im sure its probably encrypted in some way to recognise the iphone what we need then is an app that masks the n900 to be recognised as an iphone but that is when it gets complicated

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

ive had iphone, and im 99.9% sure that its through the browser as you never need to install anything. all through safari.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Take a moment to watch this if you already haven't.
