[mythtv-users] BBC iPlayer website request fetches mobile site

[Andy Summerskill]

Additional info...

I have created a webpage containing the php code -

<?php 
 echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
 ?> 

which returns 


Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0

using the standard Ubuntu version of firefox. However, the return when the website is accessed from Mythbrowser is


Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB) AppleWebKit/533.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Qt/4.7.2 Safari/533.3

which the BBC website is presumably interpreting as a mobile browser.
