How do we get BBC iPlayer mobile working for this phone?

---

Anyone know a way to get iPlayer working in Opera on this phone?

Would be great if it worked, also for Non-Brits,

iPlayer can't exist within any browser on WinMo at the moment due to lack of support but you do have 2 options.

Either you can download myPlayer (my personal preference and works fantastically well, especially when paired with Coreplayer) or the Opera hack that's well known.

The second option will only allow Opera to display the iPlayer website, however, and streams are opened in Steaming Player which seems to be rather hit and miss. It also doesn't work over WiFi, only 3G so make sure you have an unlimited data plan before you use it!

Does it make any difference at all?

...like I said the hack will allow you to view the iPlayer site in Opera but the streaming videos are opened separately in Streaming Player (or whatever you specified in the Opera.ini file as an alternative.)

Streaming Player is not brilliant at viewing streams and it only seems to work over 3G, certainly on my TP2 anyway.

Would still recommend myPlayer paired with CorePlayer. I use it extensively on my phone and it works brilliantly over both 3G and WiFi.

I agree with h0wz3r.

Till BBC releases the iPlayer for the TP2 myplayer + coreplayer is the next best thing.
