Hi,
Just downloaded 3.7 and it doesn’t allow download of the new series of BBC 4’s Charlie Brookers Newswipe which is age restricted. Just tries then stops with an error message stating the program cannot be downloaded. Tried a few others and it works fine on the regular non-age restricted stuff.
Any chance of a fix?
Cheers.
How do you set up the iPlayer Downloader to work through a proxy?
Under preferences there is one field in which to enter proxy information. In what format should I enter the proxy information below:
IP address ***.***.***.***
Port number ****
User name *****
Password *****
Thanks
Gareth
Hey,
Since the last upload – the program seems to hang at the point you request the download. The “drop down” pops down, but nothing happens.
Anyone else reported this?
If it helps I can do a screen capture of the problem.
Cheers
Dougie
Al – I have the same problem with Charlie Brooker, looks like a BBC problem.
Gareth – there is no support for usernames/passwords. Use a VPN connection!
Douglas – this isn’t something we’ve heard of before, unless you’re running Tiger, in which case update!
Just upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now I seem to be getting the same thing as Douglas: the drop-down asks if I want to download the programme, but neither “Download” nor “Cancel” have any effect.
Has the BBC crippled iPlayer Downloader again I am unable to download any TV program
iPlayer Downloader still not working on my 13″ White MacBook Core Duo with OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I get the dialog asking “Do you wish to download this program?” but the Cancel and Download buttons don’t do anything.
(Still works on my Mac Mini (PowerPC), but I’d like to be able use iPlayer Downloader when I’m out and about (as I did when my MacBook was still on Leopard).
