Hi
I'm looking to write some scripts that will enable me to run BBC iPlayer with the Logitech Harmony remote. As part of this I need to distill the command to open the BBC iPlayer in "watch now" mode for a given channel. I've worked out (it wasn't hard - its in the URL bar) that the URL for a given channel (BB1 in this case) is simply:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv/bbc_one_london/watchlive
This should work fine and I should be able to fire up iPlayer in BBC1 live mode on a single commend (which equates to a single button push on the remote). What I'd like to do is fire up BB1 in full screen mode though & I can't work out what the URL would be - for obvious reasons as the full screen doesn't show the URL bar.
Any ideas?
