Bug Description
Hi,
I am currently having a problem with an installation of Mythbuntu on an existing Kubuntu 10.04 installation. I have the Mythbuntu-Updates and Mythtv-Updates repositories enabled, and am running Mythtv 0.24 with the stock Adobe flash player present in the repositories ( ).
The behaviour I am experiencing is that when I set up BBC iPlayer (yes, I am in the UK) in MythNetvision with the bbciplayergrabb
NB. If I navigate to the BBC iPlayer website using MythBrowser, however, then the content works fine, albeit in a small (too small) window.
So I wonder if this could be a problem with screen resolution (not worked out how to alter that yet), something missing from the bbciplayergrabb
Thanks,
Chris
An update:
Having played around a little, I can confirm the following:
1. Tabbing onto the Flash instance can cause system instability. It seems like the processor usage goes through the roof and the system halts.
2. When the media fails to play (at the "This content doesn't seem to be working" stage), the error message from Flash player (using right-click ->"Copy error message") is:
Title: GenericKind: FMSConnectionEr ror.FMS_ CONNECTION_ API
Description: CDN Failover, final connection failed
Code: 4
So, this looks more like a network issue. Do we have a problem in bbciplayergrabb er.py, I wonder?
