Stutters and freezes can either be due to excessive workload on the N900 (have you got lots going on at same time) or insufficient streaming speed. The later can be due to local reasons such as a bad Cell/WiFi signal or congestion between your unit and the BBC servers.

Suggestion would be to see if you are loading your N900 too much and check the network signal level too. Unfortunatel you haven't posted enough information to do more detailed analysis.

As far as I am aware nobody has iPlayer working properly on the N900 as it tries to stream PC quality which the N900 cannot handle. Unless the BBC detect the N900 correctly or we use a dedicated application, its unfixable.

By doing the instructions, you can make the iplayer watchable
(reasonably watchable, not perfect)

You need a special decoder to watch files on the desktop.
