Is The New BBC iPlayer Desktop Not Playing Properly For You?

Posted by KevinD on Jun 2, 2009 in General |

This is a short sweet and simple post.

I just updated my iPlayer to the new desktop version and to my dismay, the video was choppy and did not play in time with the sound.  The previous iPlayer worked fine for me.  After reading forums and posts all over, nothing seemed to fix the problem.  Then I did something very simple that fixed the issue instantly.

I closed firefox and internet explorer.  Hey presto, no memory lag or any isues with the video.

Seems strange that BBC have launched something that sucks so much memory.

Ah well, thought i’d share this quick fix..
