Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

[Jono]

The BBC will soon combine its radio and television content within one iPlayer interface.

"In a few weeks time, we are going live with an all new iPlayer that has radio and TV all in the same interface," said Anthony Rose, head of digital media technology.

Presently TV shows can be streamed or downloaded using one website while catch-up radio programmes are available through a separate system, though this also carries iPlayer branding.

Looks like it could be the end for those that download the listen again files now that this is happening...

iPlayer kills my computer. It hates kontiki.

[Mike]

Kontiki are the same people behind 4oD too aren't they?

[bolinbenny]

It will only be the interface I'd have thought, I'm sure that the files will stay the same

I thought they were already the same

[E*F*4L]

will they still have the 5 days available like they have now on listen again ?

4od is rubbish, i don't use it anymore because when i went to watch something it always needed a update even when i went to watch something the day after i had updated & my virus software didn't like it much either, they should just let you stream it like the iplayer not some crummy mish-mash of software you have to install !

[Chops]

this is good news for me, as it means I can listen on my iPod as well as watch. I can catch up on Scott at 3am before greg now.

They've started doing that pretty recently!

Hmm does that mean I'll be able to listen again to shows on my iPhone? That would be nice.

[DC]

damn. unless you could grab it as an swf file and convert it to mp3 using switch. the problem is i did try to grab some things from the euro 2008 archive but i couldn't find the original place where the swf file was. all i could get up was the player without anything loading on it.

I'm not at all keen on using either, because of kontiki - for reasons I've already talked about on this thread...

[Andy B]

Does that mean the end of clips then?

[Jono]

Does that mean the end of clips then?

Not at all. We do everything through recordings off of the wireless.

[Andy B]

What with like tapes and stuff? weirdo's That means you'd have to be there recording the whole show.....rather than just go back and grab it later...that involves effort!

[Jono]

I've done that for the last two years, it's not going to change a thing. And no, it's on the computer.

[Andy B]

You can record stuff onto your computer? How? No no really, how?

[simonf]

From listening to Moyles this morning it sounds like you won't be able to fast forward through it anymore :confused:

I heard that as well. But didnt quite catch what they fully meant

[Jono]

I would have assumed it'd be a step forward like with the current iPlayer but I guess for music rights reasons this would be difficult. Maybe the clips and podcasts will be the way forward now It'll be interesting to see where international listeners stand.

[Jessica Lares]

I don't care if they puts ads everywhere, they cannot take away the radio. Radio 1 has kept me going since I was in middle school.

[midnight]

Can international listeners watch anything on iplayer?

[simonf]

iPlayer doesn't even work here in Ireland. But I just put it through my uni proxy and it works fine

[Behelzebub]

Hmmm, that's not very convenient, I'm going abroad in a few months.

[Jessica Lares]

The iPlayer kinda lost the point in being portable. And yeah, I would just feel extremely pathetic and upset if they decided to limit it to the UK only.

[simonf]

I dont imagine they will...the reason iPlayer is UK only at the moment is down to airing rights and whatnot. Which is why I'm a bit confused the iPlayer doesn't work in Ireland....'cos we get the BBC on TV so surely we're covered under airing?!

[Jessica Lares]

That's odd. The chart podcast is UK only. And that's because of music restrictions.
