It seems those short clips are used for testing purposes.
I think it's kind of fun, ones never knows what to expect.

I'll go with having a look at Primaeval's method, and maybe hacking about with the add-on myself.

A kids mode for all the subsections would get everywhere in the code and be a lot of work.

It might be easy to do a limited kids mode that has just one menu with the 2 kids live channels and categories. ie 4 items only. No searching, bbcid or radio. Would that be enough?

Here is a version with the basic kids mode if you want to see what I was talking about: https://github.com/primaeval/plugin.video.iplayerwww/tree/kidsmode

@primaeval - just realised I never got back to you on this. I tested the fork with childrens mode, and it works just fine for me.

Would this be something simple and worthwhile to merge into the master version? The only thing it's lacking is CBeebies radio, but I'm not sure if that's available on iPlayer directly anyway or if it's just via the website.

But it would certainly be something I'd appreciate the inclusion of in the main add-on, so I can leave the kids to play and explore in there safely.

Oh and thanks again for taking the time to do the test version for me.
