To use iPlayer from the BBC, you not only need an updated version of Flash player, but you also need to be in Great Britain. Plash should be mention you, as soon as it is needed, when it is outdated and offer you to download a new version.
Check if you can view video from Youtube. That site too needs flash player for most video's.

Testimonial: "Thanks for trying to help, but I'm in the uk and can view BBC iplayer and Youtube just fine - iplayer seemed to update flash just fine, but Demand5 (uk channel 5 catchup service) says I need to install Flash! Odd, I know."

    Oops, new to this site, think my 'Testimonial' should have been a comment: "Thanks for trying to help, but I'm in the uk and can view BBC iplayer and Youtube just fine - iplayer seemed to update flash just fine, but Demand5 (uk channel 5 catchup service) says I need to install Flash! Odd, I know."

    I always get a strange feeling, when all sites are working fine with Flash and one seems to have a problem. You could try to reinstall flash, although it could be it says you already have the latest version and won't let you. Last thing then is to remove flash via configuration delete program, and than install again.

How to Crack/Wipe DRM from Downloaded BBC iPlayer Programs

Quoted from: iPlayer ripper

BBC iPlayer - A service that lets you catch up with radio and television programs from the past week of BBC. BBC iPlayer use Microsoft's "Play for Sure" DRM system as copyright protection, thus the programs are downloaded, they will self destruct after 30 days because it is 'DRM License protected'. And once played you have up to seven days to finish watching the program. BBC Content will be automatically deleted from your computer once its expiry date has been reached. If you are outside the UK and connected to the internet you can only listen live and listen again to most of our radio programs.
BBC iPlayer Ripper - Daniusoft DRM Converter makes it easy to remove DRM protection from downloaded BBC iPlayer programs, such as DRM protected WMV video files, to make these programs DRM free and non seven or thirty days time limited so that we can save BBC contents permanently, Or you can Rip BBC iPlayer programs to any portable devices like iPad, iPod, PSP, Zen, Walkman, etc? Or even can we burn the files downloaded from iPlayer to DVD disc.
In the following passage I am going to show you how to use Daniusoft DRM Converter to remove DRM protection from BBC iPlayer programs step by step.
Step 1: Free download Daniusoft DRM Converter. Install and launch it as what you usually do with other application software.

Step 2: Click the "Add" button to import downloaded BBC iPlayer programs files, or directly drag and drop them into the main window.

Step 3: Then click the low-right "Setting" button, on the setting board there are many options to costomize the output audio & video properties. Choose an ideal output file size and quality to meet your players' requirement.

Step 4: After finishing the settings, backward to main interface, click "Start" to begin the conversion process. When conversion done, you go with DRM-free BBC iPlayer programs in various formats, or enjoy BBC iPlayer video music on any portable devices like iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch 4, PSP, Zen, Walkman, etc?

Issues with iPlayer and any BBC programmes not loading on jvc smart tv (BBC has the tv on its list as should be working

Check if there is a software update for the TV. That might resolve the problem if JVC knew there was a problem between their TVs and the BBC iplayer. Otherwise contact JVC to see if their is an issue which has not been sorted out yet.

Why is BBC iPlayer not working via Expat Shield

I dont have a proper solution ,, sorry ,,i have the same problem since May 19th. From one day to the next ,, suddenly the bbc iplayer does not recognise my expat shield UK address ,, it keeps telling me "programmmes are not available in your area. But when i check on other sites where i am , my IP address is UK, and i can connect to itv player no problem. I have tried numerous times since then, and still no connection, i think Hotspotshield has done this deliberately,to force people to pay for the Elite service.I wrote to them (anchorfree) about this problem, but the answer is always about Hotspotshield ,,, they fail to recognise my question is about Expat shield,, useless support service.
Anyway my small solution at the moment is Hola unblocker(mozilla FF add on),, on some days it sticks a bit but most days it works fine

Bbc iplayer wont work afaiter adobie air update .lost my downloads plus wont play any programes just blank screen

Hi Mark, I understand it's something to do with Air version 3.5
I think the interim workaround was to roll back to version 3.4! (if you can find it)
However, can I suggest 2 workarounds?
1) Download your programs for playing on Windows Media Player selecting it from the 'other download options'
I use this method myself, and it doesn't seem to be as hungry for system resources as does iplayer.
2) If you have your computer set up with 'system restore' enabled, then you can roll your system back to a date prior to when you did the Air update. Then, DON'T allow the Air installer to update again :-)
Best wishes!

Why does expat shield no longer work in order to receive bbc iplayer.

Usually what has happened is that the Beeb blocks the ip#'s that anchor uses. Anchor then does a change and it shows up as ip#'s outside of that range and it works again. Until the next time.

I think the longest I have had anchor down was a bit over two weeks. Usually it is off for a day or so every few weeks. Just keep trying Anchor is are pretty good at getting it working again quickly.
