Hi everyone time for another of news about 主播大秀 Online.

The biggest story of the last fortnight has been an update to the iPlayer app for iPhones, iPod touch鈥檚 and iPads. reported:

The 主播大秀 promises that this version (version 2.0.4) is 'more like a TV' with live 主播大秀 programs easier to find on the iPad thanks to a special 'On Now' section right next to 'Most Popular.' There's also the addition of Scottish Gaelic programs on 主播大秀 Alba and Airplay is more accessible. On top of these new features comes a whole range of bug fixes that should make the app more stable for those already using the app.鈥

While commented:

In addition, sending video via AirPlay has been made more simple, with a new button added to the playback video itself. Tap it and it sends the stream to your Apple TV just like that - or another AirPlay device, if it's the audio you want to play out loud.鈥

Last week reported on the聽delayed delivery of the 主播大秀s tapeless archive, or (DMI) causing glitches in the 主播大秀s central London news room location New Broadcasting House. Expected to be an entirely 鈥榯ape free鈥 environment, extra refrigerated room is now needed to store the necessary tapes for production:

A 主播大秀 spokeswoman admitted that there have been "some initial problems" but the 主播大秀 is "working with teams to make it better" and the project had not exceeded its total budget. She claimed the system being requested by 主播大秀 Sport would "link together" with DMI and said: "The 主播大秀 continually strives to be at the forefront of technology and innovation, from audience offerings like 主播大秀 iPlayer to digital production systems like DMI. 鈥

However the Guardian went on to quote several disgruntled unnamed 主播大秀 sources and to query why 主播大秀 Sport had 鈥decided to ask outside suppliers to tender to design its own digital video archive system at a cost of just 拢500,000 鈥 a fraction of the millions spent on DMI.鈥

this week explored the effectiveness of search on , the connected TV platform combining on-demand services from a variety of broadcasters such as the 主播大秀. It praised the service for providing an easy way of accessing 主播大秀 radio documentaries, and then observed:

There are no logos here for 主播大秀 Radio 2 or 主播大秀 Radio 4, which is a shame, and doesn't adequately convey what type of programme you might reasonably expect to find.鈥

, the 主播大秀's controller of Future Media and Technology Strategy in an article for , asks how the 主播大秀 can ensure everyone can access the 主播大秀's content in an increasingly complex digital world:

"We launched iPlayer on Christmas Day 2007 - at that time, 100% of its use was direct to audiences, over the open web... Here, in 2013, only 41% still is, and it's only going in one direction. We're now on 650 different devices. They are gate-kept by one platform operator or another device manufacturer. Rather than with the open internet, we need to beg, borrow or steal our prominence."

And finally blog comment of the fortnight goes to technical architect responding to the audience on his :

Hi Kai, "DNA" stands for "Douglas Noel Adams", i.e. the genius behind the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was Douglas's company The Digital Village that began the h2g2 web site that formed the foundation of the DNA code base.

Have a great weekend!
