We can't make it work???? </me ducks> You clearly didn't read the "iPlayer caching" thread - such an obvious title too ;) I made an attempt at a subject change about 3 days ago. My experience: I went to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ Then I went to the Labs. It says "You are signed up for BBC iPlayer Labs. Start using iPlayer labs features." I did find http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/where_to_get_iplayer/ (the linux clicky doesn't take me anywhere useful) After about 200 clicks I gave up on finding a download of any kind. Then it just plays online and has nothing helpful to say about working offline. I didn't find anything on the BBC to tell me what to do. Now I guess I need to go elsewhere for AIR and then it will magically work - but where? A quick post to the BBC Linux support system (aka Backstage) and I went here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/install/bbc_iplayer_desktop (Thanks Alan!) But despite having flash 10.0.12 it doesn't offer AIR and this page: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR_for_Linux:Release_Notes tells me that my version of Linux (Debian, you may have heard of it) isn't supported. Ah well. Back to MythTV... and at least I can watch Strictly again with that.
