Ok, so some of you have noticed iPlayer for the iPhone is a bit different- this 'I think' is via an Off Air system (or was at one point). Radio has a system called Coyopa that takes original content from the networks between the studios and final terestrial and digital playout, but is part ofthe same chain. Most iPlayer stuff I think comes from the same chain as playout, but not the very end. Basically very very little is ingested seperately from the normal playout, but the point of 'branching' varies from network to network, and between the versions of iPlayer.
Complicated, but we do our best. And importantly it's ALWAYS evolving. Sometims I wish it did so a bit more publicly. a On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 6:04 PM, Phil Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, 2009-09-10 at 17:48 +0100, Frankie Roberto wrote: > snip... >> you could even do things like cut down the amount of "trailing ahead" >> - which surely is less required on iPlayer where people have chosen to >> watch something specific and are in less danger of changing channel... >> (You could probably shave a good few minutes off from Dragons Den in >> this way, which trails ahead constantly in a really annoying way). > > Surely a bad idea, that would just make the 'BBC News at Six' just 10 > minutes long ;-) > > > > - > Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
