Re: Can OpenBSD access BBC Iplayer?
BBC is propaganda, any way. Why should you watch this?!

I've tried live streaming with get_iplayer but it doesn't work at least for the BBC, either TV or radio, It did at some time but I think the BBC have changed things recently. 2.86 in -current ports works for streaming live radio for me (takes a little while to start up but gets there after a while). Streaming recorded tv also works fine. No tv license at my current address so I can't check streaming live tv, maybe I'll try it when I'm visiting someone. Our port is the latest release. But have a look at what has changed between v2.86 and git's master: https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/compare/v2.86...master In particular, commits like Updated SWF player URL and fix schedule URLs and channel names look suspicious... I'll pull them across but doubt they'll change anything. The latter is just name tweaks for consistency in most cases, some minor other changes but not in anything particularly important. SWF player URL is usually for swf verification and problems there usually exhibit themselves as starting off OK but then failing after downloading for a while.

Anthony Hi Anthony, In the past I have managed to get flash to work on OpenBSD - but flash has not worked reliablybut not having flash is a positive feature for me ;~) I have not managed to get iplayer to work in a browser. If you succeed could you let misc@ know it would be useful for the archives. Cheers Fred
