I’ve created a new demo project available here.

This one uses the RSS feeds from the iPLayer site to find the URLs and then uses the webview to play the actual movie.

Once again, you'll need the iPhone SDK and tool chain to build the project. The code is a bit hacked together so there's probably many bugs and memory leaks - use at your own risk...

Getting BBC iPlayer working on the iPad - Just got an iPad from the US, thinking it'd be perfect for BBC iPlayer. To my dismay, the website needed flash to play anything! Weirdly, iPhones can run it, so I'm trying to trick the iPad iPlayer website into thinking my iPad is an iPhone. It involves setting a User-Agent and using some simple code to change 'embed' tags to HTML5 video tags. Works pretty fine so far, even with full screen video and device rotation. Just needs some tidying up. Although I believe BBC will eventually update their code for the iPad, we're allowed some hacks in the meantime.

Augmented Reality on the iPhone - how to - Hey there tech enthusiasts! So, you used to rely on my old methods for employing augmented reality on an iPhone? Well, those days are past. With the release of iOS4, accessing the camera has become a breeze. Check out my latest blog post where I share the specially updated code that works seamlessly with iOS4.

Sorry for the long silence... - Haven't been around for a while, folks! Been keeping busy with a startup and working on a server-side project for www.vollow.me. Time to dust off those old Java and database abilities! Soon, I'll be getting my hands on building the app to go with the website. Keep your eyes peeled for some insightful iPhone-related posts coming your way!

A couple of reviews - Our app has finally been reviewed by a couple of sites, namely 148apps and iPhone App Reviews. Unfortunately, our daily downloads in the US are still low, hovering around 10-20, and the app has moved off the front page of the app store in the UK, causing a significant drop in sales. Stay tuned for a detailed update in a couple of weeks. Appreciate all the support and readership.

Augmented reality on the iPhone with iOS4.0 - Hey guys! Just updated my earlier blog post on creating Augmented Reality (AR) on iPhones using the new iOS4.0 features. I’ve also moved away from the 'UIGetScreenImage' function as it’s no longer supported. Now, we access the camera using the AV Foundation framework with the help of AVCaptureSession. As always, you're free to download and fiddle with my code available in this blog. Happy Programming!

Streaming Video and Audio over WiFi with the ESP32 - In this video, we dive into a hardware hack combining several components to create my version of the TinyTV, complete with a remote control, and video streaming over Wi-Fi. We challenge the speed of image display, using different libraries and tweaking performance for optimal results. We explore Motion JPEG or MJPEG to decode and draw images quickly, and even reach about 28 frames per second. We also catered audio using 8-bit PCM data at 16kHz, and deal with syncing both video and audio streams. Finally, we add some interactive elements allowing us to change channels and control volumes, with a classic static animation thrown in for good measure. There's a few hiccups along the way, but that's part of the fun, right?
