Grand

Heroes, lots of heroes, dressed in red. This was a day to compare with any in the proud history of a rugby country so tiny in terms of its productive sporting areas that you could almost jog around it. Any doubts that Wales are the best team in Europe, any doubts that they are anything other than an outstanding team in the making, were blown away. In rugby’s greatest stadium, we had one of the grandest Slams.

I'm celebrating Wales' Grand Slam by rolling my sleeves up and hacking embedding IPlayer streaming content from the BBC.

You can view source to see the code. The key is a meta data file http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/metafiles/episode/b009hq38.xml.

The filename for the xml is the same as the shtml filename on the programme's main web page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/b009hq38.shtml.

Streaming content will only be available for a week, but what a week it will be.
