Re: [backstage] flash streaming version of iplayer is live
Nice to see the BBC have made sure that it doesn't run on Linux, or at least it doesn't run on this version. I get a nice blank grey screen. And a mouse hand with no indication of what it does. Clicking it informs me I have to enter into a legally binding contract[1]. A contract that states if I want to use a tablet I have to also buy Windows XP. (it lists a specific version I must have). How is it in the least bit cross platform if I have to enter into a contract that says I have to use WindowsXP? It also states the software can only be used on a PC, so what are Mac users meant to do? (aside from breach contract). This is a complete sham. With the contract for the software needed to access the content it works on very few platforms. And oddly it won't work on other implementations of Flash. How about using a non-Windows streaming solution? Or is the plan to try and trick the Trust into believing that software that states PC only, and Tablet PCs must run WinXP is cross platform?

Re: [backstage] flash streaming version of iplayer is live
Does anyone know, is the Flash-encapsulated video On2-VP6, or H.264? I suspect it's the latter but support for that is very recent and compatible players are certainly not widespread yet. I'm waiting for the day the BBC arranges Dirac encapsulation with Adobe. There was a precedent with the special Real Player version a few years ago. The advantages for the Beeb would be fantastic particularly for simplified internal transcoding. Dirac is an unencumbered format, H.264 patent licensing issues would be sidelined so the open development community (in particular Gnash) would likely embrace it. Of course, if DRM is used, it's back to square one for platform neutrality I suppose. Sean - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Just to confirm that jonathan tweed has already done most of the work to make json and yaml representations of /programmes Once it's reviewed and checked in it'll go live.

His reply was that 'coming soon' we'll see a bunch of feeds coming out of /programmes and from there an API at a later date.

If you're using Opera Mini on the Lobster, it will route your traffic through a proxy, to cut down image sizes - this server is outside of the UK, is there a version of Opera you can get that won't cache the content off-shore? I think in the full fledged version (you have to pay but there's a free trial) you can turn caching off - this might be worth a go? I will try it when I get some time on my N95, just got it so want to see what I can do with it.

Re: [backstage] flash streaming version of iplayer is live
Ogg is a container format, like QuickTime MOV and Microsoft AVI and ASF (WMV/WMA). I agree it would be great if browsers recognized the Ogg container and Theora/Vorbis cidecs natively, the way they recognize JPG and GIF c. Theora is great and there are powerful FOSS tools to transcode to it, for example I created the Theora and Vorbis files on this page: http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/europe-gplv3-conference.en.html quite easily from consumer MiniDV with ffmpeg2theora. Technically speaking, I don't see why Dirac couldn't be offered in an Ogg container either. Although both Theora and Dirac are scalable to HD, the great advantage to the BBC with Dirac is that internal video storage and indexing could be seamless with a Dirac-based frontend. There's little doubt now that MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 has won against Microsoft WM9 / VC-1 in the industry broadcast wars. But on the Windows desktop, anything other than WM9 has a steep uphill climb. Free codecs will have better chances as Microsoft's stranglehold on personal computers diminishes.

The problem with most other formats is that they are patent restricted. The software idea patent system need to be abolished, and until it is, anyone who supports open innovation needs to support patent unemcumbered media formats such as those written by the Xiph Foundation.

Therefore it is important that Backstage publish ogg theora audio officially. It's just the first podcast had so few downloads of the ogg format that I decided the best thing to do was put it out in the most popular format Is popularity more important than principle? supported by a licence that allowed people to take it and re-encode it and then make that version public again...
