I can play unmodified get_iplayer files (including HD) accessed from a web page using oplayer (free version) and also using Filer (using Webdav). Apparently oplayer uses software decode but it seems to work fine. oplayer also apparently supports Windows fileshare access, but I haven't used that. You may also be able to get oplayer to work by copying files into oplayer's data store (using iTunes) and synchronising For some reason I don't understand, I can also play the file directly from a web page using Safari, but my wife cannot on her iPad! I suspect it is because I have some work apps installed, one of which probably registers a Quicktime player which works for the get_iplayer format. I have not tried using iTunes video. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
