Is it working for other people? It worked for me okay yesterday with only a
little bit of buffering going on, but today it seems to be buffering for 30
seconds, plays for 3 or 4 seconds and goes back to buffering again. It then
stops altogether saying "Something went wrong ... please try again."

Seems OK to me.

If you mean the flash player bit (rather than the peer-peer bit), then its
fine here.


Also noticed that the volume control goes to 11, obviously a Spinal Tap fan
in the development team :-)

I think my problem might be Firefox-related, because I've just tried
watching it in IE and although there was a period when it was constantly
buffering, it has started playing smoothly now, whereas trying to watch the
same programme via Firefox it's just constantly buffering.

Yep. I wish there was a way to turn the bit rates up...

It's working okay in Firefox as well now. There was nothing wrong with my
broadband connection, because I tried to download iTunes (which has a fast
server) and my download manager was saying it was downloading at about 8
Mbps. Bizarre.

Have you set your proxy server in IE and not FF?

The flash player is working fine for me in FF, but then I am on the end
of a JANET connection squirting 6+ proper megabytes per second. (I only
tested iPlayer for academic reasons of course)

I haven't changed any settings. I have upgraded the versio of Flash via IE
this afternoon so that I could view in full-screen - could that have any
effect?

48 Mbps+? Not bad! As you're on JANET, can you receive the multicast
streams:

http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/streams.html or
http://www.bbc.co.uk/multicast/radio/channels.shtml

Works here on that Flash version, with full screen, in IE. Just watched a
whole hour of programme. Not tried Firefox.

However, pixelly output at full screen caused me to flick back to small
screen for some of it.

Perhaps the new version is set to use more ram for caching, I don't
know. You are using Virgin Media? They have consolidated all their local
proxy servers into one (or at least one address), so it might be worth
checking your settings in both FF and IE. I found that out the other day
on this site; http://ben.cheetham.me.uk/resources/net/ntl-proxy-list he
has some useful stuff on there.

No, they've never worked for me. I don't think it would be right to ask
our IT dept to sort it out either.

Is it in HD? Did it make you cum?
