BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }I can't imagine it would be THAT difficult to put together a way of finding the embed code - the question is whether it is allowed or not. I knocked together a quick thing for myself with Top Gear video clips when bbc.co.uk/topgear moved to flash video. It's a very simple thing and you can see it here - just click Get Embed Code and it will take you to the list of clips. http://www.upyourego.com/topgear/a/expire.asp You could create a simple form where you put the programme code click get code and it fills out a textarea box with the right code. In fact here is a quick and nasty one I've built for iPlayer http://www.upyourego.com/test/pip.asp But I don't know the exact ins and outs of iPlayer and I'm guessing it could change at a moments notice and that doing that is probably against the T&Cs of using iPlayer. On Fri 16/01/09 12:58 PM , "Steve Bowbrick" steve.bowbr...@bbc.co.uk sent: Watchification.com uses the hacky way of embedding - when we first started to embed (early 2008) various BBC folk told us it was just a matter of time before it was officially allowed but it looks like politics/rights issues etc. have held this up. What I think would be really exciting would be a site/service that wraps the hacky method in a super-easy front-end allowing anyone to do it just by selecting a programme from a list (or whatever)...
