Having launched embedded audio and video last year, we're now introducing a feature which will allow the content to be embedded on third-party sites.

The initial phase is starting with some Technology stories - you can see examples at , and the piece below, .

    Lovely idea; thanks for finally getting round to it. But the sooner it gets rolled out across the board the better!

    I was wondering why the 91Èȱ¬ chose to make their media player unable to buffer content when the pause button is pressed. On every other video site, you press pause and the video continues to load, not so the 91Èȱ¬'s version.

    I live in a very rural area where sometimes my connection is very slow. On other sites I can start a video, press pause and come back later to watch something that has loaded while I browse. Press pause on the 91Èȱ¬ player and everything stops.

    Is their a technical reason why this is designed like this, or just a poor design choice. Unfortunately we don't all have super fast speeds, and the player at the moment is a real pain to use.

    Danger of redundancy in the comments here.
    There's a lot more detail in John O'Donovan's post and its comments. Follow the link in the article above.

    Great feature Steve - thanks very much! We make frequent reference to 91Èȱ¬ news content on our and this will certainly a useful addition for our subscribers. Hope you will be rolling the feature out for your political and economic news stories soon too.

    Re football piracy... people like Sky and indeed the footballers themselves got greedy for money. It's good to starve these greedy people.

    CD's were over-priced for years compared to the US prices, so where there's a need there's a way! If people are too greedy they will eventually get it in the neck in regard to their financial success.

    This is because inviduals eventually just get fed up of paying above the odds. Once people start getting things for free, the industry can't get them back even once they start lowering prices, as by then it's too late. If that isn't karma I don't know what is. It serves the greedy companies and individual right! hah!
