BBC beta iplayer available for Linux

[cheeki]

I for one am very pleased that the BBC are recognizing and supporting the FOSS community with the release of the iplayer beta which works with Linux.

Check out this article: http://polishlinux.org/apps/multimedia/bbc-iplayer-linux-screenshots/

Free woots for the beeb!!! :)

Only works with UK ip addresses.

It's not quite a native Linux version of the software which is already available for Windows, though, is it? It's just a flash player for streaming the content.

Better than nothing.

It's free but it's not open source. But atleast many UK linux users here would be able to watch BBC online.
