Update:- I’ve just noticed that the iPlayer Beta is now available here and its looking amazing and the stuff below still applies, but to be honest I don’t want to update it all.
I’ve just heard through the grapevine of rss that the iPlayer will be getting a version 2.0 in beta form very soon which will run alongside the normal version for a while and then replace it eventually. The new version attends to one main feature - radio. The BBC Radio ‘Listen Again’ or iPlayer radio will be fused with the iPlayer potentially doubling iPlayer visitor numbers apparently. Other changes include:
- Radio fused with iPlayer
- ‘Last Played’ - shows your most recently played items for you to go back to and continue watching if you haven’t finished it.
- Full Schedule showing all of the schedule for the BBC (presumably) which then indicates what is available on iPlayer
- ‘Yesterday on TV’ - pretty self explanatory, basically for those people wanting to see what they missed last night and catch up.
- Rss Feeds - not sure why you’d want these, perhaps so you cant watch something as soon as its available or to keep in touch with a particular program
- Bigger playback window for watching in normal mode
- Better radio quality - presumably higher bit rates
