I’m well versed with get_iplayer (though I actually get the FLV, then transcode, because it’s the best-quality version there…) :) 90% of the TV we watch is from the BBC; about 1% of that is watched via linear broadcast; another 1% or so is watched via the iPlayer site itself. The rest goes through a maze of twisty-turny passages before it ends up on my Apple TV encoded as H.264 baseline+AAC-LC at ~3.2Mbps. Backstage folks may be interested in http://nevali.net/post/336574970/my-iplayer-statistics-dump - and the actual data, http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AiL4KfT07LDldEE1OU5KendLZ3ZZWEQ3bTZrZ3dCemc&hl=en (note the “fetched” date is often completely screwy, ’cos that data got reset a few times). - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
