The Nokia N96 will receive its very own iPlayer app next month. We don't yet know whether or not this application is exclusively for the N96. So, while you're waiting to find out, maybe you should check out some of the latest shows from the BBC... Using your current phone.
What you'll need:
A wifi enabled mobile phone.
A good wireless connection.
1) Open up your phone's browser and go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/index.html
2) Find the show you want to watch by navigating through the different categories. Click on the show.
3) When you're at the show's summary, click on where it says 'click to play'. RealPlayer will open and the show will start playing
The videos are encoded in 3gp at a 320x176 resolution and 192kbit/s bitrate. Although the quality isn't as good as the iPhone's version of iPlayer, it's still O.K. for a bit of mobile entertainment before you go to sleep. I hope the N96's iPlayer looks better than this though, otherwise that's one of the main selling points of the N96(atleast for me) gone.
doesnt work, do you have to install iphones_que?
Nope.
I've already tested this on my N95 8GB with no browser modifications.
Thanks, working on my N82.
Seems iplayer is now out of beta and this no longer works...
Anyone have any ideas?
Hi!
Thanks for the tutorial, it's been useful :)
it doesnt work it says this phone does not support bbc iplayer n i got a n95 8gb
It does work on standard n95 after you get the latest nokia update. Iv'e had it working for ages. Streams through Real Player. Thing is now, went on to it, told me to update so i did and now there are no available programs!!
