Problem with BBC i-player

Options
I used to be able to download programs to i-player desktop and also to series record programs. Then there was a problem with i-player.
Since then, I have been unable to do the above, I can only download to Windows media player and it won't series record at all.
I have tried deleting BBC i-player and re-installing it but that doesn't make any difference.

Any ideas please as to how I can get it to work again?

TIA

  • Hi,

    I had same problem, seems it's to do with Adobe Air 3.5.

    So, uninstalled it and went back to 3.4, so you could try that.

    I keep getting reminders to update to 3.5, but will wait for 3.6.

    Download.

    Thanks, I'll try that.
    Its annoying as I don't watch live tv - no tv licence - and to watch anything directly without downloading first is nigh on impossible as I get the message that there is not enough bandwidth.

    Thanks, I uninstalled Adobe Air, it was actually 3.3 that was installed, installed Adobe 3.4,but it still did not work so I uninstalled i-player then re-installed it.
    Seems to have fixed the problem now and is downloading series again.

    Thanks a lot for your help.
