Title: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 19:50:45 Hello.
I tried listening to the England match through the BBC website, and it tells me to enable javascript. I've just downloaded the latest version and its still not working. I also can't watch stuff on the iplayer. Can someone with too much time on their hands explain to me what is wrong and how i can fix it please. Thanks xx Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 19:52:16 Firefox? Tools > Options > Content > Enable JavaScript.
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 19:54:04 Java script is enabled. Thats what puzzles me
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 19:54:25 Rebooted since you installed Java?
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 19:55:38 i rebooted firefox. I'll try rebooting the whole shebang
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 19:56:13 Yeah, you need to reboot the PC/laptop to complete the Java install.

Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: jonny72 on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:09:12 Rebooted since you installed Java? Java and JavaScript are two totally different things and have absolutely nothing at all to do with each other, except for a slightly similar syntax.

Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:11:03 i downloadd this
http://www.java.com/en/ is this not right? And i've deleted me cookies Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Arnold.J.Rimmer on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:26:30 i had the same problem a while ago. deleted cookies, downloaded java, enabled java etc etc nothing worked, nobody can help. the only way around it is to do a system restore back to a point when you were able to use iplayer etc.
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:28:38 That sounds far too difficult for me to carry out
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Arnold.J.Rimmer on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:34:35 no, it's easy.
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:35:42 What do you have to do?
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: jonny72 on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:38:14 i downloadd this http://www.java.com/en/ is this not right? And i've deleted me cookies No, its not right. You've downloaded and installed Java which isn't what the message was about. JavaScript is built in to all modern browsers. If you're having a problem you've either got an old browser that isn't supported or the settings within your browser are wrong. Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: jonny72 on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:39:55 i had the same problem a while ago. deleted cookies, downloaded java, enabled java etc etc nothing worked, nobody can help. the only way around it is to do a system restore back to a point when you were able to use iplayer etc. I'll say it again, Java and JavaScript are two totally different things. If you're having problems with JavaScript, sticking your finger up your arse will be as much use in resolving them as installing Java will. Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:40:04 AFAIK i'm using the most up to date firefox
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:41:28 pardon my ignorance but what didint you just watch it on the ITV website
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:43:30 Kept buffering
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Arnold.J.Rimmer on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:47:21 What do you have to do? 1. Click Start. 2. All Programs. 3. Accessories. 4. System Tools. 5. System Restore. 6. Follow the instructions on the wizard. Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: jonny72 on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:50:09 Have you tried it in another browser, Internet Explorer for example?
Title: Re: BBC Media problem Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:59:32 Huzzah! System restore worked. Cheers Rimms
