Why does the N900 not play BBC video streams, i'm sure everyone at nokia and maemo claimed this phone has the best flash on a mobile device, flash9.

I bought this phone a while ago hoping it would play bbc video content, iplayer ext.... but it DOESN'T

Just look at this video of the nexus one and desire,

http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/f...te-4-on-eclai/

Both play the same video,
One using flash 4 lite
and the other with flash 10.1 beta

Surely the flash 9 on the N900 should be able to better than the flash 4 lite, but N000 it doesnt.
I've tried many times to play bbc video content but it is too slow at about 0.2 frams per seconds.



Please if you know of a solution tell me!
Or if you want to agree with me that the N900's flash 9 got pwnd by flashlite4,
Please leave a comment

Is this via your cell data or wifi? I would not expect it to work (well) unless you're using wifi.

And technically, *is* playing even at .2 frames per second, it's just not playing well. That's .2 frames more per second then you can get on your iPhone or iPad

Probably cos you never paid your TV license ha ha ha (sorry i could'nt resist lol)

Yes i do it on wifi, i have the best connection running into my phone.
And what i was tryin to same by 0.2 frames is i get a fram like ever 3 seconds, audio is fine just video doesnt play.
And if you watch the video in the link, how is the android phone with shitty flash lite 4 playing the video decently

how is flash 9 meant to be better than flash lite 4?
flash lite 4 is 10.1 compatible
i use this ;ink to play iplayer on n900 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen/tv

Lmao,
But if you are in UK and you have payed your TV license, just try playing a bbc video stream and tell me the results please....?

Click on use lower bandwidth, then open in pop out console go full screen and there you go, bbc iplayer on your n900.

GRR... i see
Then when are the bloody nokia a-holes going to add flash 10.1 support

thats strange, my stock settings n900 plays it with no lag at all, in good quality. You must be on a bad connection

I tried using big screen link, i still get the same problem, barely a video stream but audio's fine
