Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.
just installed those files, working well. thanks.
Nice one cheers

I have installed BBC iPlayer and flash player and cleared the data like you said but when I open BBC iplayer chrome opens up and says I ned to update flash. What should I do thank you
Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Works great,but couldn't get dolphin to work with flash and Firefox isn't compatible,so I'm really grateful for this until we get an official app.

Fantastic all working.

Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.
Nice one, works a treat!

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.
I was using firefox beta + sideloaded flash, but will give this a go. Thanks OP.

Hi guys, just thought I'd share my findings. Not sure if many here use veetle but here goes.
So it was the FA Cup final (soccer?) over in england and I can't get a decent steam over here in asia. Thus I turned to veetle. Veetle plays on my g tablet with flash 10.3. But video is a bit choppy. I'm on tnt 4.4.
To overcome this, I searched the net and found a "fix".
Heres what you need to do:
1) Get dolphin hd browser (not sure if setting user agent is available on stock browser)
2) Get vplayer from market (if not available, search online for apk)
3) Go to settings in dolphin browser and set user agent to Iphone (not ipad).
4) Visit veetle.com and stream away. The video should open the vplayer and stream the .m3u8 format from there.
Note: vplayer is a paid app. Free version is a trial for seven days. I bought the app on my desire hd and ported over. It did not appear on my g tablet market. (using olympus build prop). And watching on copy righted content on veetle is not strictly legal but I'm a poor student and theres no decent feed here.

Plug in then unplug headphones.
So I'm curious what others have found to be the best office type app out there that works on the N7 here?
I bought Docs 2 Go back when it first came out and I was lucky enough to catch the Amazon FAOTD when they gave away pretty much every big office app; Docs2Go, QuickOffice Pro, QuickOffice Pro HD for Honeycomb (not sure this would even load), and OfficeSuite Professional 6.
They all seem to have good and bad, but I'm wondering if others out there have more experience, different opinions, etc.

I have been VERY happy with Kingsoft Office.
It is in the Play Store for free. It integrates with Dropbox, box.net, and Google Drive. Nice, smooth UI. I've used it on several devices and like it more than the other options out there.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I went with Quickoffice Pro HD. Seems pretty good so far!
Actual QuickOffice Pro HD? I purchased it previously for another tab but it tells me now it is incompatible with the Nexus 7. What am I missing? Good Play Store shows regular QuickOffice Pro available but that is all.

I got it as a FAOTD from Amazon and it actually says "QuickOffice Pro HD (for Honeycomb tablets)" and seems to work fine.
Best is onlive. Pay to get the free virtual machine setup with win7 and office. Use your tab just like it was running office 2010 native.

I haven't really found any cool things to do with the tablet. Other than watching movies on a bigger screen than a phone, I haven't really used it for anything different that I can't do on my phone (albiet a bit slower)

If you have a Linux machine, install ConnectBot on your Nexus 7 and SSH into your home computer.
Another thing that seems to impress folks is when I use BubbleUPnP to connect to my home PC over the Internet to watch movies.
Speaking of movies and SSH, login to a Linux machine with mplayer installed and watch a movie in ASCII (works best with cartoons):
Code:
$ mplayer -vo caca Aladdin.mp4

Well it already has adb. Just open a terminal and type adb! You also can get fastboot on it (search xda for fastbootarm). And you would need a usb otg cable. Not sure if it works too well (my cable hasn't arrived yet), but you could also install Ubuntu and do it from there.

Chrome doesn't use flash plugins so any videos viewed would be HTML5.
Boat Browser is another that still supports Flash Player.

Right, but according to YouTube, everything has, or almost has been converted to HTML5, yet Dolphin doesn't play any video.... I can't imagine I've only tried the ones that are still only in flash format....

Thank you kind Sir. I was looking for a way to do this for quite a while now.
This trick only works with the version that is currently in the Play Store, not the current modified (screen off and 1080p playback) one that is floating around XDA.
Still, once switched to the homescreen, screen-off playback works too.
Just download viral from the play store it allows you to play YouTube in a small window or run in the background

Yeah but you need root + custom rom to use Halo (I know there are some app that emulate it). Viral can use on any device and its very fast, probably use less resources than the Youtube app itself. I can even use it as an offline video player if you set links to open in pop up mode (which then can be fullscreened), I don't even need MXPlayer anymore. Also with Viral you can select YouTube videos to play in any existing resolution available.
Do you guys have any rom review suggestion for me? I want to do review of some rom
