Ps3 update 3.70 where is iplayer

No matter what I did, I couldn't get the 'my channels' icon to appear. I was running v3. However, I used my initiative and downloaded the 'Mubi' thingamajigy from the PS Store and now the icon is there.

Loving the new iPlayer, being able to stream HD content flawlessly is a real bonus. Excellent work. I had the same problem as Andrew Mubi didn't work for me, but installing and starting up Playstation Home did never used it before. The TV shape with the little aerial top right is not in the list of icons at all? This is making the finding of the I Player Icon rather difficult!!

I downloaded iPlayer for PS3 the day it came out, together with the Sony enabler. It has always looked fine and it takes me to the programme selection page.

Then, however, the response to every programme selection has been and is: "Sorry, there has been a problem with this programme. I can get iPlayer easily thru the browser and it works perfectly, but what is wrong with my app? I think I've knackered my iPlayer until the next update is available.

I was annoyed at having the two different logos and also having to update the new one each day I went to use it , so I did a factory default reset on my PS3, unfortunately it has kept my software version at 3.

I have tried all the solutions online on how to get the player back all post new redisign but nothing works. If anyone has a solution then please let me know! I've found the new app version of iplayer totally rubbish, what was wrong with the old version? Nothing it was excellent. There are many people also complaining on other forums about the new version all over the net so I feel you've been very selective with the comments you've posted here.

It's clunky, unresponsive, buffering is bad. Bring back the old version or at least let us use the old version on the web. The new PS3 interface is a fantastic improvement. It certainly shows how shoddy Flash is as a distribution medium and what can be achieved with native video playback.

There are still a few tweaks that could be made though. One thing I do miss is the sub-categories which is most evident when you select the "Factual" category. However all in all a fantastic improvement to the PS3 experience. Will the scaling problems be solved soon? All HD programmes seem to be missing part of the image the BBC logo seems to be cut and I am pretty sure the whole image is , this is on p TV, other than that I love the new look.

Also had this problem before on the old iplayer which was solved by changing the standard size and seeing as this appears to be still running on the browser maybe you just need to tweak that setting a bit? How were we meant to know about this change? The average user doesn't follow every little thing the BBC does. Even if this was a major change. Who geek speak? I can guess what it is but PLEASE try and recognise that your average user does not have a clue what you are talking about.

So finally, I have checked that I have the latest version of the PS3 software. I have! This so called smiley faced instruction is as much use a chocolate teapot To say that "some of you have struggled" is because you have not tested it properly. What a poor show! The old PS3 iplayer was indespensible in our house.

Although the new interface looks much nicer and works much better with the PS3 remote, it is much harder to find a program unless it is a popular one. More significantly however, we have a 2Mb broadband connection. This is apparently not sufficient for the new standard SD mode, so I have had to set the quality to the lowest level. This is clearly inferior to the old iPlayer SD video quality, and even manages to pause to cache every few miniutes where the old iPlayer did not.

We had got to the point where we watched nearly half our content using iplayer, but this will now drop to 'only when we have no choice'. I develop software for a living, including work for some significant internet retailers and media companies - this would not have been allowed out of our house. Very poor. This new iPlayer is useless. Please give me the option to return to the old player!

Progress for the sake of progress is not good customer service. The best thing about the old iPlayer was that I was able to watch Formula1 free practice sessions on my big screen tv via ps3. Now i'm stuck using the tiny screen of my laptop and out of sync sound due to bluetooth delay.

I don't seem to even have a 'TV and Video' section, just 'Video' and it even has a different icon to the one in the picture in the article My icon looks like a piece of film reel so what is going on?

I finally managed to add iplayer after an incredibly long winded process only to find that I can't watch formula 1 apparently. It just says your preferred quality is not available and that stupid circle just keeps spiralling on ad infinitum. Having to resort to my Macbook Pro 17" screen with tinny sound Not happy one bit. The new version of iPlayer on the PS3 is totally useless to me due to constant pausing and buffering.

Does it get all your game saves and pull them to the cloud or is it only ones after the update? Loaded up the Iplayer quickly. It has been totally rehased, seems to be "more" compatible with the remote, no cursor needed - but I do miss the cursor, as its a bit clunky. The HD option was impressive, good PQ. I was going to check if it output sound in 5. Dony Distinguished Member. I've been getting an error code when trying to do the update. Anyone else? Thats awesome. An option to actually save the game save onto the Cloud.

On Xbox I only get the option to save the achievements, I can't restore game saves only achievements, I can only restore game saves offline on an Xbox Memory Unit or a USB and from USB I can only save up to 16GB of data, then again you can back it up onto another hard drive but thats costly, and the most annoying thing is that you have to manually do it weekly and thats long and I'm too lazy I'd rather let my Xbox loose all its data then go to those lengths.

I only ever do a full backup to an external hdd once every months. Obviously, this will mainly be useful for PSN games, as you'd have to stick each disc in the drive for full retail games. Suppose it's still quicker than actually starting every single game just to be asked the question. I updated the vid zone app by going into it and now I have BBC back!

Just restart the PS3, reinstall different apps, refresh it in different ways like logging in and logging out, playing games for a while then checking back. Eventually, you should get it back. Soundburst In Memoriam. What do you mean install different "apps"? Should I open VidZone and then all the icons will appear? Soundburst said:. The auto sync hasn't automatically synced any trophies since I updated the firmware.

The auto cloud save feature isn't auto saving anything. Last edited: Aug 18, RevanClaw Active Member. Automatic updates is a very cool addition, although it is only available for those with a PlayStation Plus subscription. If you have discovered any other problems with 3.
