A couple of days ago I mentioned that BBC iPlayer was now available on certain Nokia S60 phones including the Nokia N95.
I did have a go and well let’s just say it wasn’t a great success.
So this morning, with what is being Sunday morning and all, decided to try the service again, wasn’t holding out much hope.
Interestingly when I started the BBC iPlayer application there was a message saying an updates was available. Usually when I see that and my application is working fine and there are no new features I ignore them, in this case though, obviously having problems, I did go ahead and download and install the update.
First major difference was that it was now possible to download programmes from BBC iPlayer, something which wasn’t possible before this update and before has only been an available service on the Windows platform.
So selecting something, I clicked download…
4%…
56%…
98%…
Error!
Hmmm.
Phone must be registered with BBC Content Provider. Register phone now?
I guess so…
Unable to download…
Okay
Tried again.
Unable to play content
Okay let’s try the streaming once more.
Oh that still doesn’t work.
Well that’s fifteen minutes of my life I am not going to get back!
