I find plenty of content on the iplayer site - this is at the moment an experiment born from my own frustration of having to use my pcs to download the iphone content (non drm'd mp4), import to itunes and sync, just to have stuff to watch whilst travelling.
Also I travel abroad frequently - and saw the need to download on the fly, without pulling out a laptop.
With the changes in 2.0, solutions like avplayer have stopped and MxTube is at the moment the only solution that uses the inbuilt video player.
This will probably never be an app only a script as it relies on the work of paul battley to grab the content. I may write a wrapper to the script to only ask for the identifier and whether a proxy should be used making it nearly idiot proof. But as there are so many new iphone users who never experienced the "old-days" - I dont want the hassle of responding to the " I demand a gui brigade".
I have received some interest already - so when i have time i'll tidy things up and release the script. (should really ask MxTubes permission also)
Thanks for the support so far.
Also I fully support the way the BBC is funded and would happily pay 2x the fee for the QUALITY of their content, just not happy with the restrictions of the iplayer for the license payer.
