Open Post 2009-24-04 1:16pm on 27 Apr 2009 #58:
Five Live used to be available to Live-stream via Windows Media Player or Real player. The link then changed to iPlayer. But 5Live isn't available for Live stream on iPlayer (certainly not on the Windows Mobile variant). So we've lost the ability to live stream 5Live. Which frustratingly, is the only station I actually listen to.

Any chance of fixing this? Either make it available via iPlayer, or switch back to WMP\Real?

I might have misunderstood what you're asking, but Radio Five Live is available on iPlayer here:

Buyer's Guide on The Archers Website 2:05pm on 22 Apr 2009 Very nice to see you use the same ID strings as /programmes and iPlayer. Good stuff!
Interesting Stuff 2009-04-20 6:11pm on 20 Apr 2009 Dave - your link to the Wired article seems to be broken. Try this one instead. :)
New mobile homepage launched 10:40pm on 03 Apr 2009
The customised homepage will work on [...] handsets running the Opera browser

Are you sure?
Opera Mini's traffic is routed through proxy servers (pages are compressed to make them load faster). Whenever I try to access BBC Mobile with Opera Mini on my SonyEricsson K800, I get shown the international version - complete with advertisments, and no customisation - presumably because these servers are outside of the UK.

Perhaps something to look into? :)
Open Post 2009-04-03 10:34pm on 03 Apr 2009 Those of you asking about Identity - have you seen the BBC iPlayer Message Board recently? It looks as though it's being slowly rolled out.
Not long to wait now!
Introducing the new mobile homepage beta 11:00pm on 14 Mar 2009 I've had similar problems to #6; after setting my location to Norwich, the weather module instead displays the weather for Norwich International - the airport north of the city, rather than the city itself.
Arguably less of a mixup than Swindon and Salisbury, but it'd be nice if you could take a look. :)
Technical problems 10:46pm on 19 Feb 2009 Nammy50 - I think iPlayer uses the same streams as the old Radio Player (for now), so it's strange that you should be having new problems.

BBC iPlayer has a very useful help site at www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help - it would be well worth checking here.

Alternatively, have you tried raising the issue on, say, the iPlayer message board or with the BBC iPlayer team? They, rather unlike the people at BBC News Online, are in a position to help you.
There's a link to email them at the bottom of every iPlayer help article, or you can call 03709 000 223 from 0800 to 2030 every day.
Welcome to the RAD Labs blog 12:35pm on 17 Feb 2009 Certainly looks promising! Best of luck for the future. :)

Have you noticed that neither Journalism Labs nor RAD Labs are linked to from the BBC Blog Network homepage?

We're no longer updating this page! 7:40pm on 03 Feb 2009 Hmmm... Do you think it would be worth having another look at /whatson?
It now has two "We're no longer updating this page" messages, and looks rather messy.
We're no longer updating this page! 3:20pm on 30 Jan 2009 Seetha - you might want to take a look at the Magazine Monitor:

It looks like the mothball header is appearing underneath the usual header. I hope MM isn't getting the chop... :(
