[edit] Name?
The recent news stories about this programme ([1], [2]) refer to it as the "Integrated Media Player". I just created Integrated Media Player as a redirect, but should the page content be moved there? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Do we instead need to move the page? As the BBC on the IMP homepage call it the Intergrated Media Player - Jt_spratt
- Yeah, that's what I meant: move the page from Interactive Media Player to Integrated Media Player. Sorry if I wasn't clear. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Got time to change the name - This has been renamed iplayer... can someone move it and sort backlinks? Sorry, not got the time myself :) 132.185.240.121 13:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Right, I've made the move to iPlayer, as this seems to be the most recent of its many names; confusingly, one reference I found implied that "MyBBCPlayer" and "iMP" were actually concurrent names, and that the live content came under one name and the 7-day catch-up under another. I don't really understand why they would bother seperating these, and am not sure if "iPlayer" has indeed supplanted both names, but I guess we'll find out next spring if they think they're ready by then... - IMSoP 21:54, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] new trial
is there anybody out there who is on this new, exlusive 100 people trial? could they tell us what the new iPlayer looks like? many thanks
[edit] Irony?
Is it of mention that the software is called iPlayer (obviously capitalizing on Apple-styled brand names) and yet uses Windows Media DRM and therefore incompatible with Mac? Rather ironic if you ask me. --ZeromaruTC 02:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
