What's changed recently in BBC iPlayer?
We've made at lot of changes to BBC iPlayer to make it even better to use. We've listened to a lot of your feedback and we aim that once you've got used to the change you'll like BBC iPlayer even more than before.
Key improvements include:
- BBC television and radio programmes all in one place.
- Radio is now in high-quality stereo and available in Click to Play (streaming) but you can still pop-out the player - you can listen live or listen again.
- Video playback is bigger.
- Programmes now pick up where you left off, you can find them easier in the carousel, and BBC iPlayer will remember the last ten programmes you played.
- Schedules and details on what's coming up to help you plan what you want to play on BBC iPlayer.
- Better programme descriptions when you roll over a programme image.
- Improvements to search.
- Improvements to the help site to help you better find what you're after.
- RSS programme feeds to keep you up to date.
- Live television (simulcasting).
- Sideloading to let you download programmes for your portable media player.
- Downloads for Mac and Linux.
Of course we haven't stopped working on other improvements, including downloads for non-Windows computers and aim to bring in further improvements in the near future.
