Just found out the new bbci player allows linux users to download content. Things are looking good for ubuntu users just now.Only problem is I dont rhink 9.04 is supported yet I cant seem to install adobe air which is required. Could it be because i am running 64 bit version of 9.04.

Based on the error message I got, it's UK only.

Why won't it work on Jaunty? Air has been available for ages, it worked an treat on Hardy and Intrepid.

Just installed fine here.

Download it from Adobe and then copy it to your home folder, then...

chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

then...

sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
