Excellent news and excellent work mate, I've been posting on the iPlayer forums for them to make an MCE version, it seemed so obvious to me. Great to see that someone has taken the initiative.

Good for you

This is excellent - your work is appreciated!

I only wish I could help you find out how to use the remote to initiate playback.

Thanks again

Fantastic that you have got so far so quickly!!!  Well done.....it looks GREAT so far.
Just a thought......the guys who developed Yougle might be able to help you out with this or perhaps you could write a script for Yougle to be able to play BBC content that way - Just a thought - keep up the good work!!!!  I'm looking forward to this plugin being perfected!!!

Due to popular demand, I have found a way of getting the iPlayer to auto play, and to go in to full screen. Uninstall the old version then install the latest version from http://www.milliesoft.co.uk/ (version 1.1).

When you navigate to a program, it will auto play. To go in to full screen, press OK twice.

NOTE - a big issue still is that you can't go back using the remote once you are in full screen, because you can't leave full screen except by pressing escape, clicking the mouse, or hitting backspace on the keyboard. I think this is a fundamental flash issue. You therefore need to use the backspace or ESC key on the keyboard, or click with the mouse to be able to leave the page mid-program if you have gone to full screen.

Great improvement!!!!  THANKS!
One thing which I think you need to change to have this working perfect is; the 'Click to Play' icon does not disapper once the stream begins.  Is there a way you can get rid of this icon(I'm using a 32" Monitor for a display)?  Thanks and keep up the GREAT work!

This is great - though unfortuantely it does not play nice with extenders - no sound and rather blocky.

However, it IS possible to go back!!

Depending on what remote you have - if you have a CLEAR button...it does the same as BACKSPACE - and thus you can escape!!

Great plug in! very nice!

Shame about the extenders. It's just a regular flash movie on an html page, so I'm not sure why it's so bad. Fantastic tip about the clear button though. Thanks very much for that.

I don't see that 'Click to Play' icon after it auto starts. Does it stay when you go to full screen? Are you using version 1.1, and have you got the latest version of Flash?

Is anyone else seeing that behaviour?

Hi

Works a treat for me - I dont get the icon after it auto starts.  Also, FYI, I press the green button on my media center remote and its like pressing the Esc key.

Thanks for a great app!

Well I don't know what happened beacause when I tried it again this morning, the 'Click to Play' icon instantly disappears once the stream begins.  Not sure what happened but I am Very pleased!!!!


I'm using version 1.1 with the latest flash installed on a 32" Widescreen Monitor

Thanks StumpyBloke and jamesmcginnis for testing that. Glad the Click to Play icon is disapearing.

Would it be possible to change the 'Search' feature so we can use the remote control?
Thanks!
