BBC iPlayer adds Mac streaming
The BBC has taken its iPlayer live, introducing streaming for Mac and Linux users to the seven-day catch-up service, and a partial integration of the BBC Radio Player. However, for the time being downloads are restricted to the Windows platform.
Announcing the development at the Future Media conference in London, Eric Huggers also unveiled a revamp of the bbc.co.uk, which will relaunch later this week. The 10-year old website will include more social networking tools and user customisation.
As previously reported in Broadband TV News, the iPlayer will officially go live on Christmas Day, when a marketing campaign will get underway.
The Radio Player will now also take the iPlayer name, although for the time being the BBC’s on-demand Radio and Television services will remain separate. Already the BBC has added now and next schedule information to the radio service and has increased the maximum bit rate of the Live and Listen Again streams on its national stations to 64kbps.
