Hello, I am running version 1.9.7.1 on Firefox version 3.0.12 but the BBC iplayer will not play.
Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... ue/?from=r
The page loads so far but fails to show the video screen and the pay button.
Can you help me please?
I have my whitelist set to include the following

you need to allow bbcimg.co.uk.

Re: BBC iplayer not working
Thanks Giorgio for the fast reply. I did as you asked and added bbcimg.co.uk to my whitelist. However after restarting firefox I found the same thing happened and the ipayer would not work unless I disable noscript.Giorgio Maone wrote:you need to allow bbcimg.co.uk.
Any further advice would be appreciated.
Best regards,

Re: BBC iplayer not working
but is bbcimg.co.uk still whitelisted?
Could you send me a screenshot of the page with NoScript's menu open?

Re: BBC iplayer not working
Thank you Giorgio for your help. You responded privately to my screenshots and suggested they say that something is trying to perform a request to your local machine 127.0.0.1 (maybe some special player or plugin or add-on by BBC?)Giorgio Maone wrote:but is bbcimg.co.uk still whitelisted?

You also said "Requests from an internet site to your local network are blocked by default by ABE: can you see any line starting withg [ABE] in your Tools|Error Console window?"
So I had a look and found an error. In a moment of inspiration I opened my SYSTEM.abe file and added the following line before the existing text.
Site http://127.0.0.1:1025
Accept
I saved the file and restarted Firefox. I am now pleased to report the BBc iplayer is now working.
Thanks very much for all your help.

Re: BBC iplayer not working
Well it seems you got your answer from Giorgio and got it working but after the second post I was actually going to say maybe there is a local component being regulated by ABE. Anyway, glad you figured it out.
