The BBC iPlayer service was launched there just six years, and more than 10 million applications are received daily via application streaming BBC service. As one of the 10 million daily users, I am particularly pleased to hear that the BBC has finally updated its catch-and-demand service on the web and smart TVs.
So what did they do? Well, for starters the BBC online news will include only shows including comedy from the likes of Frankie Boyle, Meera Syal and Stewart Lee as programs and around particular themes, events and moments that are going to fall in "The collection "under. Good news!
Dan Taylor, head of BBC iPlayer has recently said that "a major focus of this release is what makes it easier to find something to watch, you help quickly and easily find the programs you know you are looking and, above all, you discover something new. The current iPlayer is good enough if you know what you want to watch, but we know that 42% of visitors now come without a specific program in mind. "Again, sounds good ...
in addition, the BBC said the new features include "an optimized, consistent responsive design" that provides a user interface (UI) single which will soon run across all platforms, mobile and tablet applications, sometimes in the coming months . They improved the list of categories that should make it easier to navigate and find the shows you want to watch, and if you're not sure what you feel like watching, there is an AZ list and program recently watched a filter to inspire you. you can also add programs to favorites directly from the iPlayer.
I watch regularly BBC iPlayer on my PC or Mac to make up my favorite shows, news and documentaries and overall I found the iPlayer revamped somewhat disappointing.
on BBC iPlayer typing in the URL bar, I immediately encountered a homepage rather busy. Much effort and design entered in the original version, but the new update seems to try to please everyone. I would say that BBC have a look at their original version and updated version, and try to meet in the middle to produce a clearer, more user-friendly and eye pleasing home page.
However, saying that, the home screen is easier to navigate because of the new navigation bar, but that is probably due to the "new clothes the emperor" page Home style.
one feature I am pleased to see the Beeb has done away, is "play this program again" because surely most people do not want to re-watch a show that they have just seen?
Unfortunately, it is not easy to find the last episode that I now have to wade through my list of favorites and try to determine if there is a new episode to watch, while with the old version, I just had to click my mouse once or twice and all new episodes would display. Hopefully the BBC will listen to their audience, and improve the display and functionality of the favorites in the near future.
The BBC will offer exclusive content to the iPlayer, such as short films, and later this year they have plans to "extend the standard availability window from 7 days to 30 days" , I for one look forward to, the more they will only introduce new IP channels, such as a video channel Radio 1.
