Flash-based online BBC catch-up launches

Submitted by Falken on

I mentioned before ([node:1490]) this was coming but it's online now over at www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/. And it all seems, as expected, to work very well.
If our V+ PVR ever fails to record something, at least we have a backup.

Oh, you have to (appear to be) in the UK for it to work, on the assumption everyone in the UK has paid the licence fee and no one in the rest of the world has.

Bizarre Gallery plugin update error

Submitted by Falken on

If during the upgrade of the Gallery2 module for Drupal you see an error like this:

all_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: 
First argument is expected to be a valid callback,
'gallery_admin_settings' was given in /home/drupal/includes/form.inc

 

(and probably an empty or broken Gallery2 module admin. area) then all you need to is go to the theme admin. area and change a setting.
Any setting (I used the 'logo' toggle).
Save it, then change it back and save again.

Odd.

Adobe saves the BBC's iPlayer

Submitted by Falken on

The only reasonable way for the BBC to do it's job and offer it's iPlayer catch-up TV service (last 7 days TV on demand) across more than just one brand of Windows was using Flash.

People said that when the thing first came out.

And look... it has come to pass :-)

Projects like Adobe's Media Player and adding H.264 (high quality with low bandwidth use) support in Player are starting to make real sense now...
