    Mods, this app it so good that I feel it warrants a thread of it's own for now just till word gets around.

    Telly Eireann is a new free app for the iPhone that puts all the programmes available on RTE's iPlayer into a single app.

    Nothing official about it. Otherwise, it'd carry the broadcaster's logo and would likely be called the RTÉ Player app. Still... great little app :) RTÉ should take note!

    Don't think that's possible. 4od runs off Flash.

    Does it actually allow you to watch content on the RTE Player? How are they managing that if the Player is based around Flash?

    You can watch it. And I was wondering that too. Something converting it on the fly?

    I wonder if RTÉ will get it taken down. Or follow O2 and get it on board and develop it as an official app.

    The actual player is Flash, but I'm guessing the stream is H.264 so this app just provides the controls via the Apple Movie Player.

    edit: Yup, Had a look and the content streams are MP4, flash is just used for the interface.

    I don't see this lasting very long in the AppStore, RTÉ have had apps pulled before for using their RSS feeds. :eek:

    Apple don't allow video streaming over 3G unless you detect and provide a lower bandwidth version.
    Since the author of this has no control over the source it will probably remain wifi only.

    Looks like you need 4.0.1. Pity, it sounds great.
    Oh well, I'll wait for the jailbreak, but RTE will have pulled it by then:(

    Download it now, just don't sync it to your phone (or sync it but don't use it) until you're ready to update your OS.
