The BBCiPlayer applet and plugin implements Flash/AAC and this enables all the iPlayer programs (current & archived) to be played. IIRC Many programs are not available in WMA format but I haven't checked recently. As I see it the main issue is what will become unplayable if Flash/AAC is not supported. In the early days of Extras - rather than create a plugin, I had a scheduled task which created an OPML list of URLS for WMA version of iPlayer program on a website (see Beebotron for non OPML list of Listen Again http://beebotron.org/index3lite.php?reload ). This meant iPlayer program could be selected & played by old players (e.g SB3) using mysb.com using as Favorite. This technique is still valid (as long as opml is supported) just that BBC doesn't like automated programs crawling over their pages. Downside if using WMA is no FFW/REW which is a loss when playing long programs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
