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.

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.
Any further advice would be appreciated.
Best regards,

but is bbcimg.co.uk still whitelisted?
Could you send me a screenshot of the page with NoScript's menu open?

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?)
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.

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.
