Anyway, now to test if TVersity will stream it Any plans to allow for HD versions to be downloaded in Windows Media format for sharing across home networks to be watched on TV?
Sorry - another comment - could you also make the HQ stream available for is it Big Screen? I'm trying it directly on a PS3 and it seems to be the same LQ stream as before.
Downloaded mb and back again to 9. Can I ask what frame rate these HD streams are? I set my htpc to 50hz so I can enjoy most UK tv from my tuner card, but the first couple of iplayer HD streams I have played with so far seem to be smoother at 60hz? Any help on the best refresh rate for iplayer HD much appreciated Thanks to you and your colleagues for putting this altogether.
The HD content far surpasses what I thought would be offered. One small point is that perhaps the saturation is a little dialed up on some or all of the shows, in particular I tried the Kirsty Wark quiz show Question of Genius?
Secondly, one thing I've always noticed with the iPlayer in general is that if you have loaded up the player page on one display, then switched to another ie a TV at another resolution, the played content will 'stick' to the original resolution ie, it will be pillared and letterboxed , unless you refresh the page. I guess this is because the page grabs your resolution when you load it, but it would be nice if the player itself could check the resolution when you click Play.
For the first time I am watching HD television on my PC which has come down my phone line and over the power lines inside my house It is an older house which blocks wireless signals, so I have to use Devolo HomePlug adapters to get it around. How weird is that! Thanks to the BBC for now providing the finest viewing experience anywhere on the Internet.
Quality at 3. I suppose we shouldn't be too surprised at the direction in which TV is heading, especially as broadband speeds and reliability increase. As always the BBC is there at the forefront of these new technologies.
What I will probably end up doing is download the HD programme onto the computer, then "side load" it on the PS3 hard-drive and play it locally. I haven't tried it yet, but hopefully the downloads will be a format that is compatible, and free of any DRM restrictions. Hi, Great work guys.
Are the new higher quality stream also available via the bigscreen interface? I think the HD content would look great on my TV but my laptop isn't up to the job and so my PS3 will have to do the work. Is there a way to force choose bitrate?
Even just as a hidden option for advanced users. I've never had a problem with the kbps streams when in Labs, but with the auto-selecting, now when I've been watching stuff it works its way down to the kbps stream, despite the diagnostic tool showing that I have the capability of HD. Ironically, I go back to the video I stopped after doing the speed test, and it's running kbps. Is the selection of service provider used when watching a video random?
I used to like watching iPlayer, now it doesn't work at all, I just get sound and the occasional picture refresh. I suspect this has been tested by a panel of self-selected experts who have the fastest computers around. Try selecting some people with older computers next time you test things :. Could a scheduler be incorporated into the iPlayer, so that we could download programmes outside of STM periods!!
For VirginMedia, this is after midnight. This is all very well but what about those of us who prefer radio and pay our licence fee? BBC Radio online quality is still not up to scratch and BBC local radio at 44kbits via real player is absoloutely shocking!!!
I dont want real player on my PC either!!!! Firstly, it wasn't broken in the first place. It was simple, the user could manually select between a normal quality stream and a high quality stream. Now I am interrupted each time I play a new video as the stream gradually downgrades itself for "my benefit". Can't this be introduced somehow? Sometimes I have enough bandwidth to use the kbps, other times there is only enough for the kbps stream due to other users on my bandwidth.
If you are able to place a button for lower quality streams at the bottom of the screen then I'm sure it can't be asking for much to add buttons for medium kbps and high kbps streams.
The search function in iPlayer still seems a bit flaky. I went to iPlayer homepage and typed "front row" into the search box. The only hit was the Bahrain Grand Prix. But if I navigated to Radio 4 then clicked through the schedules, there it is at pm There are numerous other similar examples.
Pity it doesn't work. When I click on the link I just disappear to the never land. Especially frustrating as I had managed to download a couple of programs but now I can't access them!
Impressed with the resolution of the HD stuff - however the frame rate is nowhere near as good as the original HD broadcasts. Is stuff being de-interlaced to 25 frames progressive prior to encoding, rather than 50 frames? It's a pity - as the iPlayer does this to all interlaced content SD as well - reducing the picture quality as a result. It's the biggest obvious quality limitation of the iPlayer as it stands.
In my experience the frame-rate is silky smooth. I don't want legacy 25fps, anyone with a computer or HDTV capable of displaying HD will be wanting to watch it at 24fps or 30i. I have my PC set-up properly for 50Hz progressive output at x and run full-screen. It does look as if iPlayer is running at 25Hz not 50Hz. Whilst motion pictures are shot 24Hz, all UK drama will be shot 25Hz either 25fps film or 25p HD video - so if you had it delivered via iPlayer at 24Hz it would probably have been slowed down Dear nogin72 You are correct in saying the frame rate is 25fps progressive only.
I have asked no interlace programmes are made available on iPlayer HD until we can get the motion sorted. Dear cinephiliac - here we have the dilemma! I've tried tuning to it using the details given on a BBC Forum -. BBC Four is listed on channel , but again there's no signal on that channel, though there is another channel called BBC Four on channel it was on the last time I had to retune completely and that does have both programme details AND a signal.
Why is the Media Centre EPG so out of line with the usual channel numbering, and why are these channels not there, not in the right place, or not even producing a signal? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
