![]() ![]() Personally speaking, one of the most annoying recent experiences was trying to watch a live World Cup match on the Player’s phone app while sitting in a parked car. The buffering and freezing and fuzzy picture, even when watching on a laptop with a high-speed Wi-Fi connection the random jumps back to the beginning of a programme, which of course meant having to endure the adverts all over again. The frustrations were manifold and maddening. ![]() To be brutally honest, the old RTE Player (see, I’ve started doing it already) could sometimes be, to put it as mildly as I possibly can, a pile of crap. Still, the news will be greeted with tentative optimism by anyone who’s ever used what I suppose we’ll soon be calling “the old RTE Player” - an experience, as most of us can testify, that wasn’t always pleasant. That’s a year more than it took to make Star Wars: The Force Awakens (which is on RTE1 on Christmas Day, by the way). And all it’s taken is three years of development. By now, it should be available on all the applicable devices. The beta version of the player’s latest iteration went online last week.
