N97 - Changing BBC iPlayer download destination from memory stick, back to Mass memory!!!

Hi,

 

I've had my N97 for about 3 months now, and when I first started downloading TV programmes from BBC iPlayer, they would automatically save to my 32GB E: Mass memory.

 

I dont know if i've accidentally changed this myself, or whether the recent BBC iPlayer update has, but the programmes are now saving to my 4GB memory stick (fortunately not to my C: Phone memory)!!!

 

Is anyone able to help me change this back to Mass Memory???

 

Thanks.

Hi, I use iPlayer all the time and saving to memory card is no real problem as the file needs deleting after a week anyway(because oflicence) However what I do when downloaded is select options/organise/move to folder/select/E:Mass memory/ok/scroll down to video clips/open/move. Then back,back,back untill you get to downloaded BBC video and select delete, get warning 'file not found'. The video file is now on E: Mass memory, and when you go into videos on phone will be listed with the rest of your videos, when the licence expires delete !

Hope this helps.

Good Luck

The solution above does work but you have to do it with every download which isn't ideal. Is there a more permenant solution ? This is not academic because iPlayer downloads stutter on my N97 when played back from the memory card but are fine from mass memor.

Not that I know of mate, unfortunately, except maybe remove memory card, I only really use mine to store apps and themes handy in case I need to hard reset ( easier to re-install) plus I only ever have 3/4 iPlayer downloads at a time and don't mind the odd time I have to move them. One other thing. I had to re-install iPlayer on my computer other night ( installed Windows 7) and noticed you can download files in phone / mobile media player format, save and transfer to device to watch ! Maybe if you tried that and just drag and drop to E. They also get a 30 day licence (instead of a week) so may be worth the effort, and obviously download much quicker on laptop/PC.

Good Luck
