This is just going to be a quick post, folks.
I’ve just had a very quick look at the revamping job the BBC has done on their much vaunted iPlayer.
Which seems to have a problem, or two …
Possibly …
It does seem to not be able to properly sync the sound and video track — based on the few minutes usage I’ve had of it — nor does it offer the option of the in-broswer pop-up window that earlier versions did.
Which is bloody handy, when you’re re-watching a show you’re posting about.
On a potential upside, though, Aunty Beeb has added the ability to sync an all new and shiny BBC iPlayer accounts: in this case I’ve added my Facebook and Twitter accounts.
It also seemed to have flagged up Terminator: The 1984 James Cameron movie.
Which I’m assuming means they’ve negotiated rights to some movies for their catch-up service.
This could be good.
Once they’ve ironed out the bugs …

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
