So, to the point: any plans to allow embedding of iPlayer content? Is the
service providing access to content, or driving traffic to bbc.co.uk?
Well someone's already doing it - http://watchification.com/ - I'd
always assumed it was legal! Or is this a special case?
Oh, while I'm on a roll,
Allowing embedding of user-specified clips (ie marking an in- and
out-point) could be a nice way of allowing 'water cooler' moments to be
easily shared,
Even without embedding I would love to see this. Other video services
allow you to jump to a specific start point and it would save all

Great link, thanks.
As you say though, not official, or available to the layman.

Sincere apologies. Just checked it on FireFox with user-agent switcher
and, sure enough, there's the Wii interface... That'll teach me to
check before complaining. Good job!

Apologies for revisiting an old thread, and for the stream-of-
consciousness rant.
After the suggestion of comparing Hulu to iPlayer, I found a proxy
that lets me stream fast enough to watch Hulu. It's a great service,
and I particularly love the (actually rather obvious) ability to embed

personally, still haven't managed to get hulu working - please feel
free to recommend a proxy/other method. reckon i'd use it a lot though.
Joost lost my interest (and IMHO damaged their brand) with poor
content and standalone player - haven't bothered with the in-browser
version yet.

Hulu notwithstanding, I think iPlayer's easily the best experience for
professionally-produced content, and the ease and speed of use makes me
choose it over the illegal method mentioned above every time.

I agree, the iPlayer is just perfect, a true BBC triumph.
