Hi being new to all this raspberry stuff I am experimenting with certain programmes and am downloading BBC iplayer and it comes up ok but then asks me to install adobe flash player which has been done.
Then we get to an application box which gives me a choice to choose an application accessories,education,internet,other,programming,system tools ,preferences if you select one of these the ok button is still greyed out. So going ovr to custom command line and asks for command line to execute so what on earth do you put in there to make this work.

Re: Adobe flash player
Adobe don't do flash for the ARM processor used on the Pi. The closest you'll get to Flash is the open source Gnash, but that won't do BBC iPlayer. I doubt the Pi would have enough horsepower to play iPlayer anyway. It makes my dual core atom struggle.
Don't judge Linux by the Pi.......

Re: Adobe flash player
If you pass the video stream to the GPU, there is no problem with iPlayer (it's H264 I believe). I think there is a thread on here somewhere about how to get it working, IIRC.pluggy wrote:Adobe don't do flash for the ARM processor used on the Pi.

Re: Adobe flash player
It has been wildly quoted that Adobe want's to drop Flash as an option there are a lot of people who have invested time in learning Actionscript (a part of Flash) that would be disapointed to see it go if Adobe were to drop it it would be nice to see it as open source abandonware but methinks Adobe would rather throw it away.

Re: Adobe flash player
I'm using the iPlayer plugin on my raspbmc pi and it works fine. I assume you can use it in any XBMC distro.
You can only use the live stream option (that includes seven day catch up); It does not give you the option to download and save programmes.

It says there that it's now maintained by others and you'll have to go to http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer/ht ... layer.htmlredhawk wrote:To download iPlayer contents you need get_iplayer - http://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer
