Configuring Windows for use with BBC Listen Again in Guide
Applies to:
- iplayer bbc listen again radio
- Dolphin Guide
- Guide HandsFree
Description:
Setting up your PC to use the Listen Again feature in Guide
Solution/workaround:
For the Listen Again feature to work correctly in Guide the following programs are required to be installed on the PC:
- Internet Explorer 8/9
- Adobe Flash Player 11
If these programs have been installed and the Radio Shows still aren't playing in Guide you can follow these steps in Windows to resolve the issue:
- Open Internet Explorer in Windows and visit the BBC iPlayer website and try to play a video: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/
If the video plays correctly skip to step 3. - If the video did not play then it is likely your Flash player version is too old. To update the Flash player on your PC visit get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and follow the instructions there to download and install the latest version of Flash.
- Now check your Internet Explorer add-ons (including toolbars). Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools > Internet Options, this will open a new window with several tabs across the top. If you open the 'Programs' tab an option within this tab will be "Manage Add-ons" - click this.
Once the "Manage add-ons" window is open it will display a list of all the add-ons you have for Internet Explorer. You can disable all the add-ons except Adobe products or anything else referencing 'Flash'. To do this click on the add-on name and click the 'disable' button on the bottom right.
When this is complete, the Listen Again feature should work in Guide.
