BritBox: BBC and ITV set out plans for new streaming service
BritBox: BBC and ITV set out plans for new streaming service Wonder if this will impact GiP? Huh - a cache a year old might be a tad large!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49037855 ITV and BBC programmes will move on to BritBox after they have been broadcast on TV and fallen off the broadcasters' own (free) catch-up services - BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub. The BBC is soon expected to get permission from regulator Ofcom to keep shows on iPlayer for a year as standard. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Apart from that, I wonder if it means that back-catalogue shows, which make up quite a lot of what terrestrial TV (& hence iPlayer) show now, will all migrate to the paid service? -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

The current caches, which IIRC are for a month's worth of programmes, are 2.3MB for TV and 5.2MB for radio. So around 90MB for a year's worth, which on anything vaguely recent is indistinguishable from zero. -- David Cantrell | Nth greatest programmer in the world You can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter" ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Not everyone has even decent speed broadband. Until recently mine was 1.5Mbps on a good day.

If that was a problem for me I'd schedule it to update automatically at oh dark thirty in the morning when I was asleep and didn't care how long it took. -- David Cantrell | even more awesome than a panda-fur coat You are so cynical.

That would require leaving the PC on overnight which may be an issue for some.

One of the reasons I use GIP is to fetch items before 9am. This lets me dodge them counting towards a 'cap', and avoids the tendency for our net connection to be slowed down in the evenings, causing problems with reliable streaming.

You can buy a Raspberry Pi for about £40 and it consumes about 10W, or about the same as a 1000 lumen LED lamp. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
