BBC iplayer working with GPRS on the N95 And other super Models

[Drugzer]

For some strange reason, BBC decided to stop 3G/GPRS for viewing tv channels in iplayer. Also only the newest phones can now be used N96, 5800 etc. The new version 1.6 not only does not support the N95, but now even with version 1.5 you are forced to only use wifi, and if you try with 3G, you get the annoying message ‘Switch to wifi to play this programme.

If you’re like me and don’t have a wifi connection but do have an unlimited GPRS access and prefer to use that on yourN95, there is a way: You have to use a modified version 1 of the player:
Rename the .wgz to .zip, and open it.
In app_min.js which is in the js\ directory of the .wgz you have to replace the string
{_state=”STATE_NON_WIFI”;_self.setState(_state);re turn }
with
{_state=”STATE_IS_MEDIA_AVAILABLE”;return mediaSelector.mtis(_versionPid)}
and repack/rename the .wgz, then install iplayer.
