Hi Gary,
I can't comment on the issues you mention however there is another that annoys
/ perplexes me:
If you go to the audio description category on the IOS app and choose a series
let's say Battlestar Galatctica for example (?!) then you can start watching
episode 1 fine but when you go to the "more episodes" option it lists following
episodes but doesn't automatically play the AD version or at least I've not
found a way to do this anyway.
It's great we have access to more and more AD content but I do wish there was
consistency over what you can / can't get on the different platforms.
With thanks,
Sarah

Subject: [access-uk] Interesting observations with BBC iPlayer on iOS. Anyone
else duplicate?
Good morning everyone!
I've noticed a few strange things in BBC iPlayer using iOS with VoiceOver.
1. If you navigate to a category like audio described or documentary, when in
the view A to Z part, I can only navigate to the letter A with the rotor set to
headings. After this, VoiceOver is just saying heading not found.
2. Both me and my friend Hannah are watching something on BBC2 at the moment,
Inside the zoo.
Now it is audio described using our digiboxes, the TVonics.
But earlier on today I went into the iPlayer to see out of pure interest if it
was audio described on there.
Nope, there is absolutely nothing!
But yet, it's listed under that category!
3. But here's what I don't understand, I went into East Enders out of pure
interest. I don't watch that of course. But when I started watching it, bang!
The audio description came through perfect!
Has anyone else on here noticed these observations?
If yes, is there any way of getting in touch with the BBC to let them know?
But now I come to think about it, they probabely won't even do anything!
Anyway I'm only curious that's all.
Look forward to any responses!
