I've since updated my version of AIR (these silly apps with no package management auto-update, how quaint) and had another go and it's working. I'm not sure it's doing anything that get_iplayer (http://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer/) hasn't been doing for months other than putting pointless DRM on my machine meaning I can only play it back on this from within the app. I expect it ticks some box somewhere about supporting platforms though so that's nice I guess. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

RE: [backstage] not quite in the Backstage spirit?
Interestingly, not even the official "Published with the permission of the BBC" logos (which are made available for commercial licenceses) includes a BBC logo http://www.bbc.co.uk/branding/assets/index.shtml From: owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk [mailto:owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk] On Behalf Of Sam Mbale Sent: 22 December 2008 18:45 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] not quite in the Backstage spirit? I'm a consumer of BBC content in it's various forms. It is an institution am proud to be related to since kindergarten. The BBC logo is embedded in my subconcious.. I almost had a BBC tattoo but I settled for a Blue Peter badge and a T-shirt (hinting on a free t-shirt). On a serious note, the BBC is like a nanny, you never forget the lessons learnt and you always wear the nanny's name with pride. My point is that there has to be a middle way where the BBC allows it's fanboys or girls to wear the logo and still protect it's integrity as a supernanny. We do not want extremists to use the logo as they did with the British flag. My suggestion is a "Powered by BBC" logo.

Being fair... use of the logo means "official". No use of the logo means "unofficial". That's what the Backstage licence basically says. Do a quick iTunes search for BBCReader - that app really concerns me, since it's rubbish and people think it's the BBC's. -- http://james.cridland.net/ | http://notatallbad.ltd.uk/legal_info/
