Andy, I'm awfully confused. Flash plays on a Wii (albeit not the iPlayer video content, since the codec used isn't in that version), on mobile phones (from Nokia to Windoze phones but not the iPhone yet), I think it's also on the PSP as well. (Oh, and naturally it's available on the Mac and Linux). Apart form the BBCs "we hate people knowing how this works" attitude I > see no reason why it can't be done. > Although others have also said this: this list (and this thread in particular) is precisely because we -do- want people knowing how as much of this works as possible: the Backstage team battle through some quite difficult beaurocracy to enable this to happen. I admire your negativity towards everything posted here, but do cut us some slack: we're trying to help as much as we can. If you want to bash the BBC, please do just drop me an email and let's keep that stuff off-list. j
