i player update

Postby Trashcooky » February 29th, 2012, 1:02 pm

Installed the BBC iplayer update today took my version from V 1.0.4 to V 1.3 apparently this adds 3G connectivity.
Unfortunately it appears to do nothing for the lip sync issue on the Excel (build No 97F1-D1-H1-H01-1291-20111128)
If it isn't broken then don't try to fix it!

Hi Mitre,

Yes I have the latest Flash - same as Fone Fixer I believe: V 11.1.111.6, I have tried Flash 10.2 and 10.3 but I agree with FF that 11 seems to have a perceivable edge (on my build). I have a sustainable 9 Gig broadband and my WIFI is good through-out the home but I find that when streaming BBC News 24 that the lip sync problems can vary at different times, (for no apparent reason) sometimes being very noticeable and at other times hardly detectable.

I sometimes wonder about errant apps starting up in the background and if they have a deleterious affect on processing.
I am a long-standing Windows user and have much experience in keeping that under control, but I must say that I have never encountered an OS (like android) that makes it so hard for you to take effective charge of what is going on with it without having to get under the bonnet.

As the lip sync issue occurs also with BBC iplayer but not with any H264 movies I play from the sd card, I assume it must be a Flash coding problem. (ironically - and I have no idea why it should be different, but ITV player is nigh on perfect all the time.)

I believe Adobe are not continuing Flash support for android in future, so perhaps the only resolve for newbie techy types like me is to wait for the major sites to switch to HTML5. :)
