can you get hold of subtitle data from broadcasts? That would be
amazing! So many possibilities.
Someone I know who's been working on video tagging software was telling
me that broadcasters (like the beeb) use a similar system, and sometimes
broadcast some of the meta data. Apparently they use it for tagging
events in sports matches and use that for pulling together highlights
quickly. I'm sure production staff at the bbc are adding all kinds of
meta richness to their video content, it would be great to be able to
open some of that up.

Hi All,
I was hoping to get a brainstorm of ideas for APIs and Feeds you would love to
play with in the near future, while focusing on Vision/TV
I got most of the obvious stuff like,
- A 31 day schedule in XML
- TV schedules as a API with past and future ability
- Direct links to iplayer programmes
- XML/RSS/ATOM/JSON of upcoming iplayer programmes
- XML/RSS/ATOM/JSON of programmes about to drop off iplayer
- Links between programmes and their programme catalogue entry
- The Programme Catalogue! :)
- A reference page or service for all programmes (/programmes in XML)
- XMPP pub/sub messages for upcoming programmes
- keywords
Anything more?
