I am at the exact same point as Gohan. I am a total newbie with this so have no idea how to get round it but would love to watch iplayer.
I made sure there was nothing else open but still no joy.

I just uninstalled 7 applets but no luck, I cannot get this to work. Even typing the first command in x terminal shows an odd response:
Root Shell won't enable. Can anyone help? All i've done so far is added the repository information into the app manager under new catalogue. I then saved this, my n900 says looking for updates, then shows me the app manager menu. I close this, enter xterminal and type in the 3 commands, all responses are odd. Why am I the only one having this problem? We all have the same device...Code:BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. ~ $ sudo gainroot Enable RD mode if you want to break your device ~ $
Once you have downloaded it the sudo gainroot command will work.

Thats correct the first post does need to be edited to include downloading Rootsh BUT with a BIG warning.As enabling root on the device gives you full control and with that you can seriously brick your device if not carefull.

Getting further now but experiencing the problem a few are getting on page 6 and 7. When I type in iplayer URL (the actual URL) I get iplayer-dl: not found. I also tried other commands mentioned on previous pages, here is my xterminal screen:
Code:
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. ~ $ echo "alias iplayer='iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos'" >> /home/user/.profile -sh: cannot create /home/user/.profile: Permission denied ~ $ cat /home/user/.profile alias iplayer='iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos' ~ $ iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00qb093/Friday_Night_with_Jonathan_Ross_Series_18_Episode_2/ -sh: iplayer-dl: not found ~ $ which iplayer-dl ~ $ cat /home/user/.profile alias iplayer='iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos' ~ $ apt-get install iplayer-dl E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? ~ $ ls -l /usr/bin | grep iplayer ~ $ which iplayer-dl ~ $ #note output... ~ $ ~ $ sudo gainroot Root shell enabled BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /home/user # chown root. /usr/bin/iplayer-dl chown: /usr/bin/iplayer-dl: No such file or directory /home/user # which iplayer-dl /home/user # #note output again

Reading your most recent post it looks like you've got yourself in a bit of a pickle. Perhaps someone else can be bothered to help you sort it out - I don't want to give you any more "rubbish".

Can someone tell me how i can fix this.
If you name the files you've tried to get I'll download one of them, we can compare file sizes and see whether it's a download issue or a playback issue.

I am not calling you rubbish or your knowledge but you got to admit, those instructions really cause a headache and don't allow me to download iplayer videos in their current state.
