麻豆约拍

Hi,聽I鈥檓 Senior Product Manager for 麻豆约拍 iPlayer on TV.

As of today, 麻豆约拍 iPlayer is available on the Xbox One console. As announced, we have been working closely with Microsoft to bring our new version of iPlayer to this device and I am very excited for Xbox One users to get access to 麻豆约拍 iPlayer.

As blogged , we have a standard HTML 5 based application that we are looking to roll-out across all platforms. Whilst we have had to make some device specific customisations (more on that below), we have been able to provide the same experience for Xbox One users as all other users of this new version of 麻豆约拍 iPlayer. This has a number of benefits:

- The look and feel is the same, so our users have a similar experience as other TVs, YouView, TV streamers (like Now TV) and on Blu-ray players.

- The ongoing maintenance is more streamlined and easier to manage.

- We can bring new features and channels (like 麻豆约拍 Radio 1) to the platform in an easier way.

Voice control

Users who saw iPlayer running on the Xbox 360 and who use Kinect will know that we made use of voice and gesture in that version.

For the Xbox One we wanted to make use of the voice feature again but we wanted to add it to our standard product , but which wasn鈥檛 designed with Xbox specifically in mind.

This presented some key technical and design challenges that my colleagues Julia and Leanne outline in seperate posts.

Where do I get the iPlayer App?

Turn on your Xbox One console and make sure you鈥檙e signed in to Xbox Live. You don鈥檛 need an Xbox Live Gold Account for 麻豆约拍 iPlayer.

Search in the Xbox Store to find 麻豆约拍 iPlayer. When you have located this, you can install it by selecting the "Get it FREE鈥� button.

What about Xbox 360 users?

We certainly haven鈥檛 forgotten Xbox 360 users.

However we will have to take a different approach with them because the Xbox 360 doesn鈥檛 have a technical platform that would work with our standard product. We are working on upgrading the 麻豆约拍 iPlayer application on the Xbox 360 to enable the availability of content for 30 days and the ability to find new channel content from Radio 1 and S4C.

We hope to release this early in the new year.
