Olympic Games Live UK Only · **Released**: 08-07-2008

With the Olympic Games officially opening on 08/08/08 I decided to throw together this product which a embedded stream to watch the Olympics live.

The stream is supplied from the BBC website and i've used an iframe to pull it to embed in my forum, see the demo for more informtion. The Official Ceremony is at 1pm GMT 08/08/08.

My intentions of making this for me and my members was for work times and most of my members are from the uk.

Installation is very simple and no template edits are needed unless you want to add a link to your navbar. It automatically adds a link to "quick links" Full instructions are included.

Demo: http://www.whatsyourview.net/olympic_games.php

This was thrown together in minutes and is very first product so go easy on me!

If the response for this is good then I will update and expand it with schedules and break the links down into languages etc.

UPDATED:
Embedded the stream so its viewable on your forum as you can see with the demo.

UPDATED 1.2:
embedded the stream from bbc website so commentary is in english and stream is stable.

To upgrade simply overwrite the old files and overwrite the product in admincp, no need to uninstall.

Is it possible to modify this hack? I run a website linked to BBC Radio 1 and so I wouldn't mind being able to post the BBC videos into forum threads. For example:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/2...o/video3.shtml

Is that at all possible?

my hack is designed using iframes and css and it wouldn't really work with posting videos in threads
