thamks for the feedback #41. I applied the changes and it helped a bit - but to put it in perspective, when I'd previously run the iPlayer radio clip in FF4 (public release, not an RC) it ground the whole device to a halt (I had to ssh in as root and kill FF as I couldn't get to task switcher or power key menu). After your tweaks, I did eventually get the radio to stream, but only after an eternity of unresponsiveness and lag during which the device was maxed out. I also realised that part of the slowness was because I was starting on google home page and it had predictive text thingy turned on. However ff still takes an eternity to load and even tweaked mine still runs slower than it did on ff1.1. try opera 11 for comparison ... it does everything faster, and is only missing ff sync - otherwise, it wipes the floor with ff4 IMO, and it IS a realistic alternative to microB (I now use them about 50:50 for general use).

regardless, glad ff is working for you & appreciate the effort you went to in sharing Mozilla's feedback (WTF are they up to when they balls up param's so badly on the public release when - apparently - the RC's were OK??)

The only way I get UK TV on the laptop is setting up Tor on firefox and using anonymous proxy to access iPlayer. I tried it out on YouTube, and that seems to work too - Gary Moore singing 'Still got the Blues' on my n900 right now. Thanks a million. Dunno what version of flash it is using, but as long as it works - and doesn't keep telling me I need to install flash - I'm happy. Very impressive.
ah - you might have told us you were outwith UK! Tor will likely cope with radio stream bandwidth OK (and the radio content may also be OK for international broadcast anyway?) but for video Tor won't normally cope. I posted about this esewhere, if you have access to a UK server & broadband, you can ssh or vpn to it and watch UK TV without tor. ssh is fine for iPlayer, 4OD needs vpn. With vpn you can also use the tvcplayer app - start with vpn active so tv catchup are happy with your location, theb once mplayer is playing live TV you can ditch the vpn and watch using the 'local' net connection (i.e. higher bandwidth). hope that helps - though it won't unless you have access to a UK server and broadband line, of course. I am abroad a lot but just use the above on my travels if I need to see live or catchup TV.

No UK server access. I might see if I can stick an old linux PC I left there on somebody's broadband when I visit in June, and set that up to serve me when I get back. But iPlayer is OK for radio for now - they don't block that. I get stuff via podcasts as well - but podcasts with music content don't transmit beyond the UK either. So, R4 is OK, but R2 not. I can usually get TV stuff via torrents eventually, but that is a bit dodgy. (Having paid the license fee for 30 years, and then them not refunding my remaining 6 months license fee when I left the UK, I'm OK with that). Apparently they plan to sell iPlayer BBC TV services abroad for appx £50 p.a. - so when that happens I'll be up for that. I do miss BBC TV here, especially stuff like Horizon. NZ TV is pretty awful.

If ~ £50 pa for access doesn't phase you, while you wait (and don't hold your breath!) there are several companies offering vpn with UK endpoints and high bandwidth specifically for getting UK TV from abroad. Google for "UK vpn", when I looked into it a while back they started at £5.99/month with only one month contract so easy to try with minimal risk.

I did try one for a couple of months when I first arrived, but it wasn't very good, and I had to shift from ADSL to mobile broadband - but now I have broadband again, I may try another. Tks.

Lightspark looks pretty incomplete but promising--anyone wanna try to build it? Won't make for me for some odd reason.
