Sneak peak at the new iPlayer website

Here’s a sneak peak of the new iPlayer website that will be launching soon - the big difference from the last site is that radio is featured alongside tv making it a one-stop shop to access all of BBC’s on-demand content. There’s a big change in the audio playback which will now mostly be high quality stereo in flash (with the aim of gradually getting rid of all the crappola windows and real playback) and the TV playback size has increased to 640px wide.

Other features have been added such as the ‘Last Played’ function which remembers what you’ve watched or listened to and allows you to resume playing from where you’ve left off. Also a full schedule and list view to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.

I’ll write more on this at the launch, in the meantime you can find out more on the BBC Internet Blog or view the promotional video on the Media Guardian website.
