Jonathan Tweed has been up to something over the last few weeks and has decided to share it with the rest of the community just recently.
Unfortunately the plugin had to be removed at the request of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. Jonathan .This is an Apple TV plugin that allows you to watch and listen to all Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer content - TV, network, national and local radio - all from the comfort of your sofa. Just like on iPlayer, you can quickly access the highlights and most popular programmes for tv, radio or particular service, as well dig deeper using the schedules, categories, A-Z listings and search.
I know many of you will be upset that its been taken down but copyright owners are very sensitive to this type of thing. Our aim is to always work with both sides.The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ raised concerns around deep linking to iPlayer content and the use of the iPlayer trademark. The plugin was also playing content rights cleared for PC, but not set top box, usage. By making that content available on set top boxes, the plugin potentially exposed the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ to issues with rights holders.
I understand the reasons I've been given and so have complied with this request.
