Extension summary

This extension was born out of the need to watch BBC iPlayer shows in sequence, rather than having to manually change which show to watch next.

At the moment it's pretty basic: you can visit any show on the BBC iPlayer website and add it to a playlist; you can have multiple playlists, though only one playlist can be played at a time; adding and deleting of items in a playlist; and forwards and backwards control buttons.

Future additions may include: universal playlist functionality, which would include being able to add media from YouTube, ITV, Channel 4, etc; placing of the "Add to Playlist" button in other pages of the BBC iPlayer website; restyling of the theme (it's pretty basic right now); more controls buttons; and more.

Good, does what it says. Would be nice to be able to add any video, like from the cat->docs menu for example.
