Yup ...spotted this too. Thankfully I dot use iPlayer often on the tablet. I dont get this with other streaming media sites .. i reckon its an iPlayer thing,

I had this after installing the latest flash player. It didn't happen before and removing the update did correct the problem.

Alternatively instead of using the icon on iplayer to expand to full screen hold and press the screen and an additional flash icon appears in the top right of the screen which you can use to expand to full screen. It might take a couple of goes but the triangle doesn't appear then.

Cheers

Not just BBC iPlayer I have noticed this on. Watching movies with the same embedded data or whatever it would be on other sites, the same is noticeable. A friends clip which he had hosted on Megavideo did the same.

It's a known problem that Adobe have fixed in a future release.

There's a few posts out about this. This one has some workarounds

Hi is sony involved with trying to fix this problem? not a very good user experience, and if i was reading this maybe you would not bother buying a tablet knowing there are shapes popping up on the screen when watching a video.

it would probably push some more sales towards apple.
