I reflashed my n900, as I was having trouble getting some things to install (KMplayer, Extra Codecs) - reporting gstreamer version unavailabe (yet it showed as installed in the repo). Just got round to trying this out again. News still not working. iPlayer only seems to work using the original iPlayer (not Beta) using the bundled browser, not the Firefox download. To get it to work well, I had to open the program in a new window, and close the original iPlayer window. It seems to work better (smoother) now. I originally downloaded update to 1.2 over the phone, but reflashing with 1.2 direct from the Nokia site seems to clear up a couple of problems - and it looks to me like there is more stuff shows under the Applications manager (the spirit level wasn't there before, which is more useful than Attitude).

Mish.

They have started working for me now, interestingly I did email the BBC about this around three days ago so it could well be they have put a Flash version 9 stream back on for us. Which is nice.

Is anyone else getting this on the iPlayer?
I've had the same probem with Iplayer since the day I started using the phone. Really frustrating.

What I am noticing is that gradually there are fewer and fewer sites we n900 users can watch video streaming on.

I started a link regards this a few days ago, seems like flash technology is moving on at a pace but its unlikely in the extreme that we'll see any flash updates for the Maemo platform.

How long will it be before we're unable to view flash video at all?

I think 95% of the complaints with N900 are due to lack of two features:

1. Lack of flash player 10.1
2. No turn by turn navigation in Ovi Maps

If only Nokia could break its silence on these two issues, that would do wonders for a thing called customer satisfaction, that Nokia seems to have forgotten the meaning of.
I totally agree, and have written to Nokia, but from past experiences, I don't expect much - my message was:

Hi,

I have an N900, with two issues:

1. I cannot use the BBC iPlayer (currently on Vodafone UK and firmware version 10.2010.19-1.203.1), it seems to be a flash issue as I understand it, when I go to the iPlayer, I get conversation, music etc., but NO picture, what can I do.

2. There is no voice guided navigation available for this “top of the range” phone, which I had on my N97 (by the way was excellent), but this phone was returned and exchanged for an N900, due to all the software problems of the N97. It is unrealistic to expect N900 owners to pay for the Sygic software, when lower specified phones get it free – so far I am very disappointed with Nokia’s response.

I look forward to your response.
