    RTÉ have just released video interviews with the director-general of RTÉ, Dee Forbes on their 5-year strategy.

    When asked about advertising and RTÉ's future online, she mentions version 3 of their new player which will have an "enhanced user experience" and will be "a great environment for advertisers".

    She says it will be coming in the first quarter, presumably in 2018. We can only hope that this will improve upon some of the major issues that the player already has such as low-quality video and its terrible interface.

    The strategy also states new content coming to the player:
    To develop new forms, RTÉ will invest in a Digital Lab, a short-form production unit. The core
    focus will be to create compelling and relevant public service content for online audiences, in
    particular for younger audiences. From long-form digital series and bite-size video shorts to
    podcasts and VR experiences, the Digital Lab will create fresh new online content for a newly
    designed RTÉ Player and other online and social media services.

    Hopefully it includes Chromecast support on Android.
