When is the actual platform neutral iPlayer coming out?
Apparently this is the platform neutral version
The cross-platform nature of Adobe AIR means the iPlayer will work
with Open Source
and Apple Mac computers "out of the box" on 18 December, said Mr Rose.
It fulfilled the Trust's demand that the iPlayer be "platform
neutral", he said.
Can someone here by me a better dictionary for Christmas, that doesn't
match with what I thought neutral ment?
The most appropriate definition for neutra I found is "not supporting
or favoring either side in a war, dispute, or contest"[1]. Whats the
BBC's definition of neutral?
Can someone please explain how this is "not favouring" certain
platforms?
I run Debian. It's a fairly popular distro, some of you may have heard
of it.
But iPlayer doesn't appear to work on my system :(
I went to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/
Then I went to the Labs.
It says "You are signed up for BBC iPlayer Labs. Start using iPlayer
labs features."
I did find http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/where_to_get_iplayer/
After about 200 clicks I gave up on finding a download of any kind.
Then it just plays online and has nothing helpful to say about working
offline.
I didn't find anything on the BBC to tell me what to do.
Now I guess I need to go elsewhere for AIR and then it will magically
work - but
where?
I did get "Our servers are too busy. Please try again later." a lot
though.
