We have developed the BBC Media Player app to improve video playback on Android devices. You will need to install this separately from the Google Play marketplace.
To make installation of the BBC Media Player as easy as possible, BBC iPlayer will prompt you to install it when you first play a programme.
The BBC iPlayer app uses standard Android app permissions that are defined by the Google Android platform. The 3 permissions the BBC iPlayer Android app asks to use are:
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - Allows the app to access details about network connectivity i.e. whether the device is on Wi-Fi or 3G.
INTERNET - Allows the app to access the internet.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE – allows the app to save images and metadata externally.
Permissions
- full network access
- modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
- view network connections
- test access to protected storage

- I can only go on my limited experience, but after downloading the iPlayer and media player, I picked a "Qi" episode and it streamed perfectly, no stops, buffering, audio lag etc, and the video quality was great. I just clicked on top gear and that appeared to be the same. I love it so far. Obviously, I expect things would be different on a 3g connection instead of my fast WiFi.
- So many whiny, spoilt b****es complaining. I'd rather it does what it does well, rather bork at all features of other devices. FACT: Fragmentation exists on android and IS a real problem. We made our choice when we picked the platform. We have to live with that, and it's nobody else's problem but our own. Great job beeb!
- Never had any problems on my galaxy s. It also works perfectly fine on my s3, my friend's galaxy tab & kindle fire. I believe that although some people may have some issues with the app, the majority of the people rating it 1* are just technologically impaired. Being able to stream in HD would make a pleasant addition.
- Very good application, never fails, does all i require. Cannot fault it. Only problem I have is my internet speed too slow at times. started with half meg broadband 10 years ago and only 2.5 meg now. Slow progress which is a pity, as unable to take advantage of the online streaming services. Wish we had cable.
- I was initially reluctant to download this app as most of the reviews were somewhat negative. Still i downloaded it to see for myself and I have to say it seems to work perfectly fine. All desktop features are available and it's pretty straight forward to navigate. Wholy recommended!
- Favourites are back now and no longer crashes when stopping and starting radio programmes. Much easier to skip back and fourth within a programme too without it crashing. This is just after a few minutes of playing with it though. Hope I haven't spoken too soon!
- Makes this app worse and worse. Can take several attempts to get videos to play. Used to be ok, now just a waste of time, and we pay license fee for this rubbish app.
- hey i got this app but everytime i click on any proggramme to watch it jsut a black screen i can hear the proggramme but cant see it can anyone help me thanks.
- Ooh finally back in 3g format,loved it before love it more now Perfect on htc one x,cant wait for the download feature ,thankyou
- I first installed the media app and then the BBC iplayer. It works perfectly for me without problems.
