hi adam pips (the database behind both iplayer and /programmes) allows an episode to have multiple 'versions'. each of these versions can have associated on demand availability. and each version has a 'derivation reason' which may be: lengthened, shortened, signed, with burnt in sub-titles etc
at the moment iplayer is only exposing a single version of each episode (which may or may not have signing). In time (I believe) multiple versions will be made available. when that happens we'll be able to provide a choice of version where available and (for /programmes at least) navigation faceted by the availability of sign language erm, does that answer your question? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Adam Leach Sent: Fri 12/28/2007 7:02 PM To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] iPlayer search problem Michael Smethurst wrote: > in the meantime you could try /programmes > > top gear is at: > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mj59 > > Excellent, i didn't know that had the streaming programs, plus you get the longer description with the programmes page. Is there any chance you could give some indication if the program has got signing as there doesn't appear to be any clear indications in either iPlayer or the programmes pages.
