So it looks as though the BBC won't serve iPlayer stuff to Iceweasel - can<br>
anyone confirm/deny this before I email them to ask what's going on?<br>
<br>
(I actually usually use get_iplayer rather than viewing stuff direct, as more<br>
often than not someone else in the house wants to watch it at a different<br>
time and I like to preserve bandwith! However it'd nice to have the option<br>
without having to fiddle with user agents!</blockquote></div><br>Yes, BBC iplayer go off the user agent. I believe they use this for the iPhone/iPod as they get sent MP4 data instead of Flash Video.<br><br>As quite a few websites read user agents (online banking is one) it would be useful to set your useragent as being firefox.<br>
