BBC iPlayer Plugin?

[moamoa]

Hi,

The BBC have a rather nice pool on online content these days, accessible via it's iPlayer service.

Does anyone know if it would be feasible to have a sagetv plugin to easily integrate access to this content?

Would be totally cool for people in the UK at least!

Heh. Only beeb license holders can access the content so as I'm sure it's possible, you might have to wave the flag some to gather devs.

Bah. You'd think former colonies with EIIR as head of state would get access

How would that be possible, surely if it's web based it's accesible from all over with the correct client.

I would certainly like to see this is Sage.

Almost all web based content uses IP filtering to block those from other markets. Only Americans can access online content at web sites like ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. and iTunes sales of TV shows are restricted, generally by Credit Card billing address.
