This should make it easy to grab streams from iPlayer, or setup your own iPlayer service.

I came across hulu.com which also uses RTMP streams to stream their video. I googled and read bits from the rtmp threads at xbmc.org and of course this article you wrote. :) I just wanted let you know that RTMP support on xbmc is wanted for more applications than bbc player, and what's the xbmc status on adding this? I couldn't find any kind of definite answer on the forums.. Thanks.. I am working on an xbmc universal type plugin to incorporate many streaming video sources, but mostly from flash video sites.

In other words, gnash is probably going to be the only way to do it.

On the above xbmc thread I saw the entry by Strawp with the PHP script showing how to derive the RTMP stream URL and thought that it might be fun to create a Firefox bookmarklet that does the same thing. The resultant bookmarklet works on both the BBC iPlayer page variants (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/aaaaaaaa.shtml and http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/aaaaaaaa).
