Watching Flash streams on the Streamer

Channels on the streamer can be set to Flash or HTML5 by the owner. Flash has the advantage of minimal delay but will need specifically enabling in Chrome, Firefox and Edge browsers before you can watch the channel. HTML5 works with all modern browsers, including iphones and ipads but is subject to a 10 - 20 second delay.

Chrome browser

If you get a image of white noise when you try to browse a stream, you need to tell the Chrome browser that the new BATC site is safe for the use of Flash. To do this:

1. Right click on the word “Secure” in green at the left handside of the address bar.
2. Select Site Settings - this will open in a new tab.
3. Go down to Flash (6 on the list), click on the arrow on the right handside, and select allow.
4. Close the tab which settings has opened in and refresh the original page.

Your browser will remember this setting and you should not have to do it again for the BATC Site.

Firefox browser

If you just get a blank screen on a channel in Firefox you will need to enable flash:

1. Click on the video window
2. Right click.....
3. To be completed...
