The bigscreen interface does work (even with custom instructions about using the right stick to zoom) but it looks like they forgot to redirect bbc.co.uk/iplayer to bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen when you visit using a PS3. Oops! I took a little look at it this evening.

That's a new development, it was still listed as "in development" a few days ago. I'll check it out later. Good spot, thanks!

It doesn't work, however - the javascript error remains.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a few other tweaks have been included, as a firmware release just for full-screen flash support seems a little surprising (unless Sony has plans to use it for an unannounced project/partnership). I'm not sure if H264 will be fixed as I still think it's a compatability problem specific to the BBC's streams (probably why the Beeb hasn't announced that their BigScreen interface is officially supported on the PS3 yet.) It will be interesting to see what controls are available to developers using full-screen mode. Keyboard input is disabled in full-screen mode on the PC (to prevent people displaying fake login prompts) - but disabling controller input (the D-pad mimics keypress events) would severely limit what could be done on the PS3. I see no reason for blocking it on the PS3 as hitting R3 to zoom gives the same effect. Hi Mark,
