    Just watched an episode of Bon Voyage from the 90s - it seemed a lifetime ago.

    A skiiing holiday in Austria, I can't remember the female presenter with the red curly hair.

    Cathal O'Shannon on the Dingle Peninsula

    Finally a camping trip to Brittany, France. I don't recognise the male presenter. He seemed to have 5 or 6 kids in tow.

    No ads on that programme.
    I can see the archives being a real gem.

    I'd love to see Murphy's Australia again.

    Whatever about RTÉ Food, it’s a pity they don’t put RTÉ Archive on Saorview(at least) as a proper channel. I could see it been popular and they could put adverts in between and during the programs like a normal channel. But unfortunately there’s no chance of that happening.

    Remember putting on RTE2 on Christmas morning with Bosco on in the background while you opened and played with your presents? My feeling was like "I love Bosco, but I love opening my presents even more but I'm so happy that I have both at the same time right now!". RTE Player…work your magic for me this year LOL

    Just checked the new app and it looks great. Also, when you cast from phone to Chromecast it doesn’t show the ads beforehand which is noce. This is the way all4 works to iirc. Happy to see the old show Trivia there too, missed S2 at the time.

    It's not working well with Chromecast at all. It'll play fine but there's no slider to go back or forward. Just seems to be a Play option, that's all.

    Some great stuff there in the archive.
    I see they have a documentary on Christy Ring.

    Rte must have a fabulous collection of old documentaries.

    A few I see on there...
    Christy Ring
    When Cathal Shannon met Muhammad Ali
    Festival Folk - Christy Moore
    This is Christy - singer Christy Dignam
    David Bowie - the last 5 years
    Joe Dolan
    The Late Late Show's 'For one night only'

    Speaking of Cathal Shannon - hopefully Thou Shalt Not Kill is in the archive - must have a look later.

    I was never one of RTE's biggest fans, but the new app is excellent and from testing it yesterday. The streams load fast and in high quality. Hopefully, they will continue to improve on the app and soon roll out an app for Android TV.

    I keep getting a notification to send a screenshot for feedback for a hockey app which is coming from the RTE player. I'm on Android.

    HockeyApp is a service for distributing beta test apps before you push them to production on the store. It allows developers to collect crash reports and beta testers to submit screenshots.

    Bit weird getting notifications for HockeyApp on a production build. :P

    Was wondering what that was. Thought I might have pressed something unknowingly.

    Anyone having trouble with Airplay to Apple TV? It'll play one add and then nothing.

    At least you're getting an ad. I get absolutely nothing. Screen flickers and that's all.

    I think people are being too harsh on them. All start-ups hit a few bumps along the road. Give them time. I'm sure it'll all come good…

    As I said, It's way better now on the desktop/laptop and android phone. Credit where it's due. However, the chromecast end of things needs to be sorted. It's very glitchy.

    Doesn't cast for me from android (note8) to nvidia shield. The background rte player image appears on nvidia alright but that's it. Pity that

    It was working fine the last few nights but no joy with chrome cast last night, no big deal really as I just cast the screen to the tv instead.

    Is it an android box you're using ? Keeps playing the first ten seconds on a loop of everything for me on an android box. Other times it just decides to play round without a picture :-(

    Working fine again last night on chromecast. Hopefully app will update soon for LG. So far very impressed with the functionality and love the archive box sets.
