The BBC still do which I find infuriating...
- kozukumi 11y agoIndeed. Frustrates the HELL out of me even more because all their videos are available in web-friendly MP4 for the mobile services and you can get to them if you spoof the user agent. I wish they would just let me toggle a "beta" feature or something.
- k-mcgrady 11y agoI'm 99% sure they introduced a non-flash service in beta recently. Edit: Yeah, you can opt-in with a button on the right column here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/html5 http://www.bbc.co.uk/html5
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoOnly for iPlayer, not for example on BBC News video clips, and not even 100% of iPlayer content yet. Still progress I suppose.
- k-mcgrady 11y agoTrue. Hopefully this is a test and once they get it working they'll roll it out across the BBC sites.
- kozukumi 11y agoYes I was aware of the iPlayer HTML5 opt-in which is what I was hoping to see for the rest of the site. Given that they have all the content in HTML5-friendly video anyway it shouldn't be all that painful.
- chrisseaton 11y agoI think it you tell your browser to claim its an iPad there is magically much more HTML 5 video content on the BBC.
