And now for something completely different - an iPlayer problem
I'm having a BBC iPlayer problem. If I try to access content, using Iceweasel, I get a message "This content doesn't seem to be working" but my wife can access the same content from her computer connected to the same router. We are running the same versions of Debian and Iceweasel. I do have Flash enabled and I can access the ITV and Channel Four equivalents with problems. Any ideas? -- Barry Samuels http://www.beenthere-donethat.org.uk The Unofficial Guide to Great Britain

The only things I can think of are flash versions (or 64 vs 32bit but both work for me) or some browser security setting...is there another user on your box you could try running as (in case it is a mozilla profile thing) or temporarily create another profile ?

So ITV have switched to Flash? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/15/itv_flash/ Apparently so. I wonder what this will mean for Moonlight development? What is the intersection of FOSS developers and ITV watchers? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis ISMS, Computing Goldsmiths, University of London Tel: +44 (0)20 7078 5134 Skype: richardjlewis JID: ironchicken@jabber.earth.li http://www.richard-lewis.me.uk/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- +-------------------------------------------------------+ |Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.| |http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html | +-------------------------------------------------------+

Hope that helps,
But when ITV was using silverlight I tried it with moonlight and it didn't work. Also in my opinion Moonlight development has already stagnated due to lack of interesting content it enables. The Project page is full of deal links, The stable release is compatible with version one of the silverlight engine, there is a beta of Moonlight 2 But the silverlight engine is at version 3 now, which last time I checked wasn't even on their roadmap. In fact the roadmap itself seems to have vanished http://mono-project.com/MoonlightRoadmap 404's for me. It used to say that Moonlight 2 (silverlight 2.0) would be final by November but not mention anything further.
