Now that the BBC iPlayer has launched in beta, could some of you who're already using the iPlayer say what the file sizes are of the TV programmes you've downloaded so far please, and also say what the duration of the programme is in minutes so that I can calculate what bit rate they're using for the programmes? Also, are the files all using WMV for the video and WMA for the audio? -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info Does it have [B[b][C] DOG **** on the picture and ****-voices? No idea, cos the BBC is limiting the number of people that can use it - so much for their much vaunted "launch" on 27th July... -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info Any answer to my question please? [B[b][C] DOG **** on the picture and ****-voices or are the programmes un-damaged? |

Has the Kontiki ActiveX been loaded. It appears in IE in a not very noticeable tool bar. -- David Pitt. Computing with RISC OS. KHost.exe is running - where would this toolbar be? |

Ah, its a sign up site. Yes of course, as Dom mentioned in the post you replied to. The best torrent sites are often like that. No ta. Cut your nose off to spite your face if you must! But, I will believe that the torrent is there. It is indeed there in excellent quality with 127 seeders as I type this. UK Nova is lightning fast. He really is cutting off his nose..... He's totally Danniella Westbrook! :) -- Dom Robinson Gamertag: DVDfever email: dom at dvdfever dot co dot uk /* http://DVDfever.co.uk (editor) /* 1134 DVDs, 350 games, 338 CDs, 110 cinema films, 42 concerts, videos & news /* alfie, flatout 3, last king of scotland, life & lyrics, activision psp New music charts - http://dvdfever.co.uk/music.shtml Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=DVDfeverDom |

I missed it the first few times around and got the "download iPlayer again" run around. I found a note about Kontiki on the iPlayer message board. -- David Pitt. Computing with RISC OS. |

Why does anyone download these things from TV companies? If they all used the same software..... then I still wouldn't, but anyway. |

Er, they do use the same software - BBC iplayer, 4oD and SkyAnytime all basically use Kontiki. However, it's packaging where the flaws are... You land up with an unstable Windows machine with repeated instances of the same software if you want all services :-( At the moment it takes technical workarounds, ISP co operation, messing about and the realization that this is all still buggy "in beta" - and won't be ready for the general public until someone defines some industry standards or virtualisation OS technology becomes commonplace in consumer PC hardware. That's not going to happen anytime soon, and with the piracy problems I sadly don't think UK broadcasters are going to be there for the distance without burning a lot of money to protect their copyrights. Doomed ;-( (but me enjoying the Iplayer trial anyway :-) -- Adrian C |
