BBC iPlayer not playing
Since the last release and also in the new 10710 BBC iPlayer is broken as playing doesn't start and you just get a black screen. Retrying (stoping and starting again) many times sometimes works, once you manage to start then playing continues without problem.
Running on Ubuntu Karmic 32 bits

TV shows are playing OK in iPlayer, but radio is not working for me. It displays the web page with a small player in the middle and it doesn't start playing (and only the Stop button is available in the controls).

I can't always reproduce this one but a couple of times I got some kind of Microsoft Visual C++ error (in a separate pop-up window). I thought I caught a screenshot of the error dialog that came up but I must have lost it somewhere...
It would typically pop-up right after the "channel / network intro".
I'm LOVING the HD, thanks for that!!

iplayer
same problem here with iplayer in ubuntu with the blank screen - tried uninstalling and reinstalling boxee and flash, managed to get it working again, but was having problems with other apps working, so messed around a bit and it broke again. All seems fine in the windows version since yesterday, except the boxxxee vids are really choppy! (but that's not a major concern - honest)

iplayer
BBC Live and BBC iplayer both stopped working for me a couple of days ago. Same issue - nothing but blank screen. Was fine up until Tues or wed night.

anything happening with the iplayer issue?
can anyone actually get iplayer to work on boxee with ubuntu? if so please help it is very frustrating! - if it is a bug is there any news as to when there will be a fix? - it seems problems with windows versions get solved quicker than linux which is a shame because when things are working in linux, they are smoother than in windows
team boxee (Admin)
which linux build? boxee build?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit on a Acer Revo 3600 with yesterdays build of boxee (downloaded at around 1200 GMT). With both iPlayer and BBC Live, I get sound but no video. I do get video from YouTube. It works fine in xbmc plugin - even HD.
