So this seems to be the main problem.
Phil also hit the same wall - http://philwilson.org/blog/2007/12/downl...er-is-hard
If the problem is just setting up a server with Red5 on it, I can help there. But I don't know how the BBC will feel about me using a BBC server to convert or transcode content. I guess if you guys don't tell anyone, no one will know
I'm also talking to Adobe about setting up Flash Streaming Server, so people can play or experiment with it. Maybe one of the experiments could be to do with this.
Either way, unlocking rtmp will mean we can build iplayer on xbmc, mobile phones and other exotic devices. I was thinking about using a Nabatzag as a internet connected radio the other day.
By the way, come and join the backstage.bbc.co.uk mailing list if you want to talk about opening the bbc's content. I also think it would be cool to pool some knowledge on iplayer development. There is a real API being built but I can't give a estimate of when it will be public sorry, except to say it was demo'ed at BarCampLondon3 in November
