Thnks for the replies.
Turned out to be my fault - scons uses the MD5 checksum, not just the
timestamp. So if you just edit a comment and redo 'scons' (to test) it
recompiles
but doesn't rebuild the program, 'cos it knows that the .o content hasn't
changed.

It works on my Samsung Galaxy S2 !

But now it seems that one has to have BOTH the BBC iPlayer AND the BBC Media
Player..

I deleted the latter and found that the former insisted I installed it
again!

Recordings work if played on a PC without the DRM nonsense!

My laptop on XP is happy, the club Toshiba on 7 refuses to play...

Yes, the two apps work together. The Media Player app does the
low-level video playing, and the iPlayer app handles the higher-level
user interface stuff like searching the database for what you want to watch.

Oh, I see! Many thanks for that!

I'd thought one was duplicating the other, and so took one out to make a bit
more room in the phone....Oops!

I've noticed that, while the BBC put short time limits on how long things
are available, the Channel Five player keeps things for at least a year....

Dave.

Its OK for all you whizz kids with new phones, but my get_iplayer 2.80
does not work on both my laptop of PC.

Found a workaround for this problem but did not work.

Has anyone got 2.80 working if not should I try 2.79!?
