Re: Playing BBC World Service Content on My Mac

2016-08-05 Thread Craig Werner 
David and everyone, as I wrote a few days ago, the help file that
speaks of incompatibility with OS X VoiceOver is confusing.  The
notation actually relates to the BBC Media Player, not, strictly
speaking, to the BBC iPlayer.  I am confused because I am under the
impression that the Media Player is an Android app, so associations
with VoiceOver make no sense to me.  At any rate, as I said a few days
ago, an update of the Adobe Flash Player allows me to listen to the
iPlayer Radio stream on my Mac running OS X 10.10.5.  The link to the
BBC help file is

Hello, David, and thank you for responding.

I updated my Adobe Flash Player, and the iPlayer is now working well.
Oddly enough, when I looked at the Accessibility section of iPlayer
Help, I learned, if I read the help file correctly, that Safari wasn't
supported in OS X, but it is in iOS 9.x.  The wording of the file's
text is a bit ambiguous, so I may be misreading its intent (if files
can be said to have intentions).

I have not looked specifically for World Service but in the past I have 
beend able to play a lot of BBC Radio content  like BBBC Radio 4 simply 
through ITunes using its internet radio capacity.



I have not done this for at least a year so I would have to go back and 
check whether iTunes can still do this but it would be worth a look.
