Hi, I am new to this forum, I did a search for the same issue and did not find it so here goes. My apologies if there is an obvious answer I have missed !
On the BBC iPlayer app, using the A3 airmouse, I cannot scroll and the control options such as pause/play are off the screen, so there seems no way to access them. This also prevents me from properly scrolling through to find the content I want to watch. I have tried looking to see if there are any display definitions I can change, but not found any. As I say, probably something very simple I am missing, but patience in answers would be much appreciated. I can provide further info/screenshot if needed ?

Thank you
 
Welcome! :)

You have to use the airmouse/fly-mode of the A3 remote to navigate.
That means you activate the fly-mode then press, hold and swipe the screen up, down, left and right.

For play and pause operation you need to go in to the Settings and turn on New Video Controls.
The Play/Pause button of the remote will now function as expected. :)
The FF/RW will not! :(

For FF/RW you need to press the fly-mode button of the remote then click on the screen. You will see FF/RW 10 secs icons that you can click.

Thanks Villa, appreciate the screenshots in particular. Will give this a lash and let you know how I get on !

BTW - IF you are a Villa supporter (I am West Ham), I hope both teams manage to be in the Premiership next season :)

Not the first time this has been mistaken!

Sorry to say I detest football. :eek:
Never have been a football supporter and never will be! ;)

This is more like what my username represents.
Disclaimer before anyone asks. No it's not where I live! :confused:

I have not had the chance to try out the controls you have suggested, but I will be doing a trawl of excellent iPlayer programmes near future and let you knwo.

Thank you for the advise and assistance
 
Perfect, except now they force the upgrade I cannot actually get iplayer to work !!
