Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)

[TerryHawkins]

This is only for Radio and Touch and is installed on the device itself from the 3rd party apps menu under Apps Gallery on the device menu.

Many thanks, I have installed it on my Radio.

The image isn't changing from the Radio 1 logo though on the songs, is it supposed to?

Should do if you play the live radio 1 from the BBC Radio menu (must use the menu the applet adds) and you have "Slideshow" set in at the bottom of the BBC Radio top level menu.

Many thanks, I didn't see the slideshow setting.

Just a quick one...

Is it a SB feature that you need to press a button to remove the screen before you do something else? I now have to press power twice to turn off, first one clears the display then the second press actually turns it off?

Hum - thats possibly a feature/bug. Is this on a Radio or Touch?

This is on a Radio.

The same happens with the back button, first press clears the display and second press actually takes you back.

Touch has always done the same thing with 'replacement' Now Playing screens.
First off-button takes you back to the normal Now Playing, 2nd switches off the Touch.

Yes - there is nothing from the BBC for this at present. Also we need to lobby them so that the replacement live text service actually allows title and artist to be parsed from the stream as it does not at present.

Whats the best way to lobby about this? I used to read the BBC R&D blog, but haven't been able to find mention of this on the web. DAB radios' still have now playing information, and it's hardly a resource drain keeping a feed open like this.

Maybe if enough of us complain they could reinstate the service? We do own the BBC after all..

I had been using Triode's BBC Radio AAC app.

Fiddled with a few menu settings (clock etc.) and when SB went back to display the radio station name the back button (left) took me to the SB menu instead of the BBC Radio station list. I guess that is a quirk: it goes back to what you last looked at not (what is logical) the station list.

Problem is I could then no longer access BBC Radio - it's disappearred!

3rd Party Apps still says it is installed but it can't be found anywhere.

What gives?

Edit: It's now back in Internet Radio where it belongs. I did nothing!

I've gone to App Gallery and selected 3rd Party Apps but BBCRadio is not listed.

Any ideas?
