BBC I-Player now (nearly) linux compatible!

[Blutack]

Well, they seem to have kept it quiet but I visited the BBC I-Player site today for a friend and was very surprised indeed to get the item he was looking for in a nice flash player, complete with full-screen button. Have I totally missed this development?

Bloody annoying that Gnash doesn't work with it.

works great for me, no probs.

cheers for the update, didn't realise they'd released the flash version.

Did you get full-screen mode working? It tells me I need the latest Flash player, but I have the most up-to-date version from synaptic (Flash 9.0 r48 ).

[PetePete]

full screen didn't to start with, but all you need to do is goto the website it links to (flash's) and download the latest version, then just run the installer file and it works fine after that.

if you need any help let me know.
