Anybody tried running BBC iplayer on their Nokia N95 8GB..?
Hi all, i know this isnt strictly computer related but i thought id ask my SN friends for some help and advice...
Iv recently installed bbc iplayer mobile (v 1.5) and it works a treat. Well nearly anyway, as it will stream content straight to my phone either by wifi or 3G..However when i come to downloading video content(IE episode 5 of top gear) i then try to play the file but i get an error message, so im wondering if anybody else has had the same issue and if so how to get around it.?
hope you can help..cheers..

The download stuff is painful is general. I think the iPlayer is great, but just for streaming.
I would suggest downloading from uknova.com or similiar if you want to play on your mobile phone.

Have you tried this >> Skyfire: Product
I've got it on my non 8gb N95 and have just this minute checked out Iplayer and watched Angela Rippon on 'Cash in the Attic' (as a test !!)
