IPlay

Created at Mashed 08 in the 24 hour hacking session. This lets you monitor programmes you like for when they are available on BBC iplayer.

Usage

See examples/check_doctor_who.rb for an example.

You need the brand pid for the show you want. This can be found by visiting: http://bbc.co.uk/programmes

or alternatively, you can search for a pid in ruby: Snowblink::Iplay::Programme.id_for('Doctor Who')

You can provide a different strategy to execute, by default it will tweet to the twitter account of your choice.

Future

  • Allow multiple strategies
