As posted on the BBC Internet blog - from Jon Billings:
'In particular, the BBC does not sanction XBMC, get_iplayer or similar
clients, and the iPlayer RSS feeds were never designed or intended to
support them. Nitro will almost certainly not support their ways of
working. We realise this comes as unwelcome news to users of these clients.
The iPlayer team continues to work hard to maximise access to iPlayer
across a wide range of platforms and devices.'
Sad news.
Yes, that reads like "we won't give out API keys for those clients" to
me. There's no technical reason why developers couldn't make their
software work with a new API.
That's a different tone from the upbeat "we do hope to be able to make
our programme information available to *any* developer via Nitro in the
next few months." (Quote from
