Playback needs to be Flash-based (either a SWF or an HTML page already containing an embedded Flash player, with no surrounding HTML content) or in a video format DivX Connected can play directly (DivX, Xvid, etc); DivX Connected does not support video playback using other browser plug-ins or the HTML5 video tag.

Could it be an idea to contact channel 4 and itv directly and ask them? If you let me know exactly what is needed to start creating the divx plugin I would be more than happy to contact both itv and channel 4. Let me know asap.

If you can find anything, let us know and we'll see what we can do! Same goes for 4OD, Demand Five, etc. We’ve been looking into it, but haven’t been able to find any RSS feeds or an API for ITV Player content, which is the minimum we’d need to start creating a DivX Connected plug-in.
