iPlayer via the red button? (Freesat) (1 Viewer)

[bushbrother]

Today the BBC have announced that iPlayer is now available via Freesat on the red button. Watching the video on the link below it shows how you must have internet connectivity to your "freesat PVR" then navigate to BBC ONE, hit the red button and select "iPlayer" from the menu.

Has anyone tried this yet? I deleted the "Red button channel" and never tried interactive services via MediaPortal, do they work?

MHEG support would be required for iPlayer:

The simplest way to implement iPlayer would probably be a wrapper around get_iplayer (get_iplayer | Linuxcentre). Again - something on my huge to-do list!

I was afraid of that ... oh well ...
