Re: [ubuntu-uk] BBC iPlayer Desktop and 10.04
It needs sudo to install since the default install location is "/opt" It's best to download the ".air" manually then install it get it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/dm/version2/revisions/bbc_iplayer_desktop_v307.air It should be the latest version not sure! go to your ~/Downloads directory and install using: u...@laptop:~$ Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer ~/Downloads/bbc_iplayer_desktop_v307.air That should work. (Note the adobe air installer needs the absolute path in order to install.)

When I ask it to download programmes, though, it just doesn't do anything. Both fresh installs of 10.04. iplayer streaming works perfectly (after doing some fiddle with the flash properties file) Glen -- Glen Mehn e: glen.m...@oba.co.uk | t: @gmehn m: +44 7942 675 755 | w: http://glen.mehn.net b: http://glen.mehn.net/mba -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I have found watching iplayer from the web is much quicker not sure what is causing the bottleneck.
