BBCi player beta

[custard]

anyone using this.got it all set up after installing bloody M$ media player
now it keeps teloing me i have no space on the HD.
ive changed the default location but it seems to disregard this and stay with the default.
so i moved files around and have a minimum of 50gb free on all drives!
yet it still tells me i have no space gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I would try it but it states no Vista and can't be bothered if there are problems. Why are you going legal Custard, surely easier to get your "torrents"?

 

[custard]

it is but its free
ive found it,was a stupid little 'glitch' where you physically have to drag the bar that shows space to let it know to use the space :bang:
TBH im just curious about it plus handy for bbc progs that may not be uploaded as much.

I am told it is less than perfect, but will wait for my judgement.

Glitch? You mean your lack of thought?

 

[custard]

not at all.ive never had a prog that tells oyu that you have no space even when theres tons.i had relocated the dafault storage. think the problem is they tried to keep it very simple but thats a design fault for sure.
its still beta so glitces are acceptable.
ive got a DL running ot see what the score is. was hoping for a faster DL speed though

Watch it steal your bandwidth, it works using KService like 4oD I think. Apparently it works fine on Vista but as the BBC has yet to properly test it, they are preventing Vista uses from downloading it.

 

[custard]

you should register anyway paul.takes a few days ot get your access codes anyway.

Thanks for suggesting, I had anyway, 'just in case'. I can always download on my Media Centre I guess. I wish they have produced a plug in for MCE.

 

[custard]

quite interesting reading on the message boards.as ive said im just playing with it.
torrents will still me my mainstay

Got it working on Vista here, but its slighty buggy on Vista by the looks of it, reckons my download of eastenders is on 0% constantly :|

File size is 115mb for a 30min ep, so not expecting the quality to be anything spectacular.... Should be perfectly watchable tho....

 

[custard]

ive got a copuple of non starting downloads as well.ive got an episode of jekyll to try so i shall report on quality
