Thanks,
Bit of a grind certifying the app for a noob like me but got there in the end. Absoloutly brilliant with the iPlayer on E75 and also let me fool 3UK into allowing me to download Skype on an “unsupported handset” using the user agent as n96.

I like my legendary N96. I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

BBC iPlayer is now directly available from the BBC iPlayer website, for Nokia E71 in the UK, without any of the workarounds or certificates etc listed above.

One other point – with my phone (i.e firmware 100.01.76) the only way to install iplayer16.wgz is using the phone file manager after copying the file to the phone memory card.

Double clicking iplayer16.wgz on the PC to install via Nokia PC suite did not work.

Working for me, both streaming and downloading on E71 with stock 3UK branded 100.07.76 firmware.

I didn’t need to sign UserAgentSelect_v1_0_3.sis though I did need go to App_Manager->Options->Settings and set “Software installation” to “All” to get it to install.

I’ve found I can stream and download over a 3G connection too, I have the unlimited data plan so this is OK for me, but could otherwise be very (very) expensive.

I’ve set the realplayer access point to a smartconnect group so it will use wifi when I’m at home and 3G elsewhere without me needing to switch manually.
