Re: [backstage] iPlayer in Wii

2008-04-10 Thread Andrew Shearer
Damned fine link Derek.

Although I don't have a Wii yet, I've hacked up iPlayerlist to have a
Wii only templates.  Its in the early stages, but you might want to
give it a try.

Thanks to Sean Lange, who suggested adding a pure black background for
those on TVs where the iPlayer flash video doesn't fill the entire
screen.  Apparently there is an issue with the Auto-zoom, but Ill work
on that when I get my hands on one of those blessed machines.

Just point the Wii at http://iplayerlist.mibly.com or switch you user
agent to a Wii one ;)

Regards,
Andy

   I gave it a try earlier and I think it works rather well :-)
  
   Zoom in once with the + button and press 1 to get rid of the menu
 bar
   means that it fits my TV screen perfectly!
  
 
  aha... that's the info I was lacking... thank you...
 

  The people at iPlayer thought users would ask that and prepared a help page
 for it, despite it being an Wii Opera thing:

  Not that it's easy to find their help pages...

[backstage] iPlayer mashup

2008-04-07 Thread Andrew Shearer
Hi,

  I'm a lurker on this list but thought I would de-lurk to show you
all what I've been up to with the stuff found around bbc.co.uk.  Over
a few days hacking with ruby I built a lighter version of the flash
based iPlayer with series grouping, some rss feeds and related content
from blogs and youtube.

http://iplayerlist.mibly.com

Its rough and ready but I'm happy with the results.  If you are
interested, a little more info about what is holding it altogether is
available over here.
