Sound

Are you sure that you have your audio settings correct? If you are using direct connection to your TV then all should be set to Downmix. If you are using a receiver make sure that if you have set Passthrough that your receiver can decode the audio codec. Try looking at AAC as thats usually the culprit.

Have a few issues.

First time I played a video, I had no sound, after that is was ok.

BBC logo is slightly off screen, can only see bc

When a file is playing, normally I can press pause then go to the back options. Earlier playing a file I was unable to pause a file. This was after the file had been playing for twenty minutes.

As of now no. Only people that pay for bbc get it. BBC was looking to launch a global iplayer later this year but who knows if that will happen.

Wonderful! Thanks so much Syabas!

Good news to all A-2xx owners, BBC iPlayer is now available for you in the apps market. Please make sure you are using the latest firmware!

All or all uk a2x0 users?

[Eric]

UK A-2xx users for now....

Please remember guys that the BBC is funded by the UK license payers. It doesnt have advertising revenue and its virtually mandatory for every household to have a license. So letting anyone from a country have access to it that doesnt pay a license fee is a very touchy subject. The BBC would get vilified if they did this by the UK license payers.

wow, and they have the budget to produce the best car show in the world (TOP GEAR) with no advertising revenue.

Thanks for a great app, Little question how you exit it. At present see only option to go source and then reload video menu.

For those of us who can't use this can we please see a youtube video of it in action please

From reading this thread I get the impression that the app is a work of art ha ha ha.

Do you mean the 'return' button? If so, that doesn't work for me.

Logo position is fine here, sounds like your TV is using overscan or some sort of zooming, make sure you're using Screen Fit or whatever term your telly manufacturer uses for 1:1 mapping.

You can press Eject but that exits the whole app, I find it best to just press a direction on the remote, then use the iPlayer's own "<- Back" button on the far right. It would be much better if the stop button worked here though.

Actually they doing that by selling top gear all over the world as well :-)

Don't think logo position is overscan as rest of popcorn hour content is ok.

Shall be installing it on a200 tonight, top bit of work guys :-)
