BBC iPlayer App Video controls

[Ferrocene]

Anyone in the UK who uses the BBC iPlayer app and finds moving from the U9-H to the U22-XJ has made using the app even more of a challenge, might wish to go to 'Settings' > 'Video Player' > and try selecting 'New Video Controls - Try our experimental video controls. Some things might not work perfectly just yet', as I found it has made my Neo A3 air mouse play/pause button work for the first time ever in iPlayer on this my third Minix box, the video time indicator can now be dragged to any point in a video, and 10 second reverse/forward buttons have been provided.

Yep, those controls have been available for some time now!

Now we just need Downloads to work!!!
I'm not sure if it's an app issue or the device?
Downloads for me fail on the U9-H and the U22-XJ.
On the T5 they appear to work!

Oh right ? , I have probably only looked at the settings every 6 months, for me the new controls are like belatedly getting the Christmas present I most wished for.

I seem to remember downloading a couple iPlayer programmes in the early days of having my U9-H but it didn't seem to work that well, and I think the download access may have timed out after a few months and have not bothered since, will try again, but given I have paid the BBC licence fee in full every year for nearly 40 years, I would like them to make everything they still have a copy of available online so I don't have to download it, its not as if I am going to be watching that much of it, just a few hours of things I missed or wish to watch again from time to time.
