I've only looked at what the Android BBC iPlayer app uses to find these HLS urls. Other much earlier posts in the BBiPlayer Plugin mentioned the apple-ipad-hls mediaset, and I assumed that was captured from the same BBC app on iOS devices. I didn't think that browsers were using HLS - but I suppose it makes sense that iPlayer on Safari is. Has anyone looked for any evidence of HDS being used in the wild? - that might actually be nicer to use than HLS... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
