media Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hi, Just a bit of information concerning Latics World. Perform Group (our service providers) will be making a number of changes to the service at some point this summer (I can't confirm exactly when as yet). Basically the whole World site will be revamped to give users a more modern experience. This will include a number of upgrades: - All interviews and highlights videos posted going forward will be 16:9 widescreen; - Video quality (streaming and download) will be improved and upgraded; - Sound quality also upgraded; - Audio streams improved and moved away from Windows Media Player, meaning a more reliable service and near-DAB quality; - (A big one) The video player will now be based on a Flash platform, meaning Apple Mac users will be able to access Latics World; - A number of other improvements which I don't have to hand at the moment. Hopefully this will represent a massive step forward for the club's multimedia services. Cheers, Stu OAFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie_Dugger Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 What about Linux users with Firefox browsers ?. It's time to stop this Internet Explorer monopoly. Better download links would be appreciated for browsers other than IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
media Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 What about Linux users with Firefox browsers ?. It's time to stop this Internet Explorer monopoly. Better download links would be appreciated for browsers other than IE. As we are moving away from Microsoft DRM (anti-piracy), World (as far as I am aware) will be fully accessible in all browsers as long as Flash is installed.

dave_ragg1984 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Admittedly on Vista I could use LW on Firefox anyway. It's been working on Firefox on XP for a few months. It also works on Google Chrome, you just can only stream and not download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outoftheblue Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 So the LW UI will be available in any OS (XP, Linux Mac etc) and all browsers (IE, FF, Opera etc) as long as it has flash. What about my phone in wm6.1 with java enabled? I've got headache now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martjs Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 - (A big one) The video player will now be based on a Flash platform, meaning Apple Mac users will be able to access Latics World; Stu, Does that mean I can get LW on my iphone? I'm interested in the (legendary) commentary mostly. Video highlights would be a bonus. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
