A Wii warning (BBC i-Player)

penrhyn

If you have lashed out on the Opera browser for the Wii then you have been able to enjoy watching the BBC i-player on your TV.
Nintendo have updated the Internet browser and its now a free download, previous down-loaders can upgrade and get some sort of credit (have not looked at this)

Do not upgrade, as the i-Player will no longer run.

The BBC has acknowledged the problem and hopefully will fix it soon.

BBC Statement:
Why am I unable to view BBC iPlayer on my Nintendo Wii?


The latest Nintendo Wii software upgrade has caused BBC iPlayer to stop working. Users that have not upgraded can continue to use the BBC iPlayer website.
We are currently investigating and hope to resolve the issues with the BBC iPlayer website. Later this year we will be launching all-new BBC iPlayer designed specifically for the Wii.
When further information is available, we'll update this FAQ. You can either return to this page later to check for an update, or you can request an update by clicking the ‘FAQ Updates' option below if you currently use RSS (Really Simple Syndication - a way of getting the latest content from a website as soon as it is published, without you having to visit the site repeatedly to check for updates).

Probably because the version of Flash has been upgraded in the Opera browser (and the BBC made a down-graded version specifically for it)
