Im not sure how anyone missed this one, i was trying to find feeds for ITV Player and stumbled on
http://player.stv.tv - STV (Scottish TV) which is the Scottish version of ITV!!
ITV Player uses Silverlight but STV Player uses flash like iPlayer.
All the usual ITV programmed are there including X-Factor
Full list -
http://player.stv.tv/programmes/To view all latest feeds -
http://player.stv.tv/?rssThere are invidual feeds for catergories and programmes. At the time of writing it appears the catergory feeds are broken like
http://player.stv.tv/categories/comedy/?rssIve cheked out some individual programme feeds and they seem to work fine.
The X-Factor -
http://player.stv.tv/programmes/the-x-factor/?rssCoronation Street -
http://player.stv.tv/programmes/coronation-street/?rssThe Jonathan Ross Show -
http://player.stv.tv/programmes/jonathan-ross-show/?rssThese url need a plugin for the feeds to work

I looked at it, not trivial. They are making some RESTful calls to their service endpoint, one returns video id.

Any luck in building a plugin for this site zip?
The feeds are more friendly than iPlayer as there's individual feeds for each program

Is there any websites who have already collated the data of the feeds?
STV Player is a good alternative though

Anyone look at this one, was hoping a plugin would be ready before x factor ends

looked again. It looks like they have the stream separated to chunks, each having a different URL - so this won't work with the current plugin API. Also the playback would be a bit rubbish (pause between the chunks where ads normally are).

Doubt it. Might be done with a new plugin system but it'd still show 4 videos instead of one.
