Getting Ready for BBC iPlayer....

Anyone know how to setup proxy settings? They seem to be picked up from Internet Explorer, I don't want to use these settings in iPlayer.

For Firefox users I'd recommend getting the 'IE Tabs' addon. Once installed you can configure it so that whenever you visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer it'll automatically use IE to render instead of Firefox, thus you can download programmes etc.

Really working slow today....

Have started three downloads
2 Battlefield Britain eps and
Last man Standing

at around 2.15 now at 5pm I have one complete programme (BB), another(LMS) 98% there but the third is only at 21%(BB).

Improvements are really necessary.

How long on average are we waiting for sign in details?

For me I registered on Thursday evening (I think) and got my account processed Friday evening.

Thanks so much for that, I've had problems with having to use IE for a couple of sites (the Uni portal in particular which was annoying) but it never occured to me that there could be a plugin for Firefox!

I've been on the Beta for a while now and I sincerely hope that the system isn't collapsing under the weight of the newcomers.

It's nothing short of a slowcoach today. A big shame for those coming to the product new following the fanfare yesterday.

I feel that there's still a hell of a lot of work to be done before this can possibly be considered as a 'full release' product.

Is it just mine that's playing up completely saying theres Technical Difficulties and to try again in a few minutes. I haven't been able to download anything because of this.

I've had a reasonable session today despite it taking ages to download this is the result of almost seven hours online access ...

You poor soul! Quiet Saturday for you then?

I would agree with the posters who have said they've prefered the iMP interface to this - as I use Firefox as my default browser, it's a pain having to open up IE to browse the list of programmes. The iPlayer has been alright for me recently though, although the earlier betas were a bit troublesome. I was getting pretty decent download speeds of around 800KB/s today (which is about as much as my connection will give me), programmes downloaded fairly quickly.

I was wondering....

Will iPlayer work on mac if I was running under Windows XP via Bootcamp beta?

and if possible, in the future, will BBC make contents on iPlayer compatible with iPod and iPhone? (because then it would REALLY help spread contents throughout UK)
