As reported, Iplayer doesnt seem to work well in the browser on the n900. However, get_iplayer (http://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer) allows you to download iplayer content in a number of formats and runs fine in a debian chroot on the n900 (apt-get install get-iplayer).

I've grabbed a number of shows (in the default mov iphone format) and they play great in the maemo 5 media player.

The PVR (http://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer/ge...er-pvr-manager) is also working from the chroot and can be accessed from the maemo browser, giving an easy way to search and record programmes in a GUI.



Hopefully with some effort get_iplayer can be ported to maemo (its a perl script), i'm going to try with scratchbox2 but it has a lot of dependencies so it might not be so simple. Also with a bit of work it may be possible to stream the bbc streams using the media player or mplayer (hopefully soon to be optified for maemo5) via get_iplayer and the pvr.

Anyways, thought someone else may find this information useful...
