We’re back up and running and with the bonus of using iPlayer 2.0 too! As suspected the PS3 doesn’t like the BBC’s latest embedded flash media player, so until this can be resolved, I’ve created very simple temporary alternative. There’s no volume or playback controls at the moment, but I’ll probably add those soon.

A quick update on what’s happening regarding the current playback problems. The BBC are in the process of rolling out the beta of iPlayer 2.0 which should be available at some point today. Once it’s publicly available, and if required, I’ll attempt to update this site to get the new version running on the PS3.
My apologies for the current unavailability of all programmes. It looks like the current version (2.3.3460) of the BBC embedded player is not compatable with the PS3, either that or the server now checks the User-Agent name of the Flash environment. I’ll keep digging to see what’s going on, so please check back soon.
Unfortunately, I’m not going to make it to Mashed (Hackday 2008) – so instead, here’s a video of a fun iPlayer-related project I’ve been working on. Excuse the stuttering at the start of the videos, it’s due to me turning down the amount of pre-buffering so I could cut down the time for the streams to begin playing for the purpose of this video.

A small application for mobile devices which support the JSR-75 extension to allow access to the filesystem of the phone or memory cards.
It allows you to protect the files on your phone with DES encryption.
Point your phone at http://www.ixalon.net/FileProtect.jad then set the MIDlet’s permissions so that file read/write access is allowed.
A full Google Maps and Google Local client for Java equiped mobile devices. This one also needs the JSR-75 extension to allow it to cache map tiles on your phone, and if you want to use the GPS features and route-instructions (a la TomTom) you’ll need support for the JSR-82 extension for bluetooth.

A linux based PVR/DVR running VDR (what a mouthfull!) Allows remote viewing of the live streams and recordings. and control over timers etc. via a touch-screen interface.
Another linux based PC, this time with a NI PCI-6025E DAQ card to control and monitor my reef aquarium.
I’ve many more bits and pieces I’ve developed in the past, which I could probably bring back from the annuls of dusty HDDs: Java POSIX Signals, Java Raw Sockets, Java 3DFX, Synchronised Network Broadcasting, TCZ Client, The Tempest (Online Game), WebICQ, WebScrabble, Web IRC Interface, Parabox (Game), Atoms (PocketPC Game), etc. etc.
