    bbc iplayer on 360

    Not sure if you peeps are aware that it is possible to watch IPlayer content using the 360's media capabilities.

    It's quite simple:

    - Hidden Content

    - Select the programme and download

    - Go to the settings in the download manager and copy the location that the downloads are stored, something like: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Videos\My Deliveries\iplayer_live

    - Go to WMP and Add to Library > Add

    - Paste above location which should be added

    - Go to videos on 360 and the iplayer_live should show and will contain your downloaded videos, all in WMV format Hidden Content


    You may already know this but I didn't so just sharing

    i don't know mate.
    i think it will because you are using your p.c connection for the bbc iplayer and your network router for the feed to the xbox

    There is no reason why it shouldnt work as you are not using the LIVE server when you get banned it just bans the console connecting to the live server it doesnt stop it connecting to the internet.

    If you connect to a media based pc you can stream anything across to a banned console and use all the features from media centre and im pretty sure you can get youtube and other videos to work that way off the net although i have never tried it as i hardly ever use media centre.

    Re: bbc iplayer on 360

    Hi

    I've recently done a comparison of XBox vs Wii vs iPlayer on the laptop and the Wii Channel gave the best jitter free viewing over my very poor broadband connection.

    ???

    Frazzle07 you have made several posts, all just saying thank you.
    Please just use the button provided at the bottom of the post you wish to thank as there is no need for a post to do this!
    You will notice in your posts, left hand side under your name that these do not count as posts, so your wasting your time.
    Be more inventive to get the codes and try actually typing a full sentence!

    I think you have had quite enough very poor attempts to make just one decent post squelchy18!
    We really don't need "members" like you, ............but what do I care anymore!

    Re: bbc iplayer on 360

    after reading your comment D i feel it has become a very sad day as one of the top forum members are giving up on ourselves.
    i hope this isn't the case as it's people like you that have kept this forum going and appealing to all of us.

    Re: bbc iplayer on 360

    Thank you for those kind words of support billy.
    You know I tend to speak my mind and although I am not a mod, when I keep coming across the same user name, making the same two or three word stupid comments to get the codes it really annoys me.
    After being told so many times that he has made invalid posts, then having them deleted by mods, it seems he is still too stupid to make even one post which shows slightly more intelligence than a lumpy fart!
    Hidden Content

    As you noticed things have changed while you have been away and we placed more emphasis on getting new members, largely attracted by the free porn codes.
    Well that part succeeded, we got lots of new "members" ............of the quality mentioned.
    Not all, we have had some good members join, but the majority have never heard the word sentence, unless it was in court, so they obviously don't know how to construct one.
    Well all these people joining needed to make 1 good post, that's all to gain access, so we got thousands of hello posts, too many to keep up with everyday so I believe we lost good posting members because they couldn't be bothered to wade through them all everyday.
    So I gave up answering them to be more selective of the real posts, while others just stopped posting regularly altogether and the mods seemed to have their hands too full greeting people to make any posts themselves?
    Yes I'm having a moan because I used to spend hours of enjoyment here everyday, now I look to see if there is anything worth reading or answering so that I can go do something productive!
    The shoutbox is now terminally ill and even berley rarely appears on there. I didn't look in for 24 hours and when I did there was 15 new posts in that time, not counting the hello's which I now block out.
    Its a bad time for all forums and I shouldn't and don't take forum participation as seriously as I once did, it seems I am not alone in that as you have surely noticed yourself since you have been back?

    Well that little rant came out of the blue, once I started I couldn't stop.
    It seems the only reason I have for making one of my old style long posts these days is to moan about everything,............how sad is that!

    Re: bbc iplayer on 360

    i wouldnt say sad at all mate,
    at the end of the day if they could go on facebook and get free porn codes we wouldnt have the idiots in here,
    but yet again we get abused in our own little way as we can provide something that facebook can't.
    also in all my time here i have never once been under that section searching for ways to do it.
    not that it doesn't interest me (i'm a red blooded male Hidden Content ) but can find better things on this forum to look at and also in bed for 9.30 at night so no use
    to me anyway Hidden Content .

    edit:

    i came along nearly 4 years ago to learn how to get free internet using the old sb5001 and look 4 years later still here.
    yes maybe not the most active of users or have the biggest knowledge but i try my best with what i know and what i don't i expect to learn from people on here.
