Kinect to blame for BBC iPlayer on Xbox One delay, says developer
The Xbox Kinect is to blame for the delay in the release of BBC iPlayer on the Xbox One, claims an unnamed BBC programmer.
The claim describes the integration of Microsoft’s enhanced Kinect motion sensor as the major issue holding back the release of the iPlayer app on Microsoft’s new console.
“We can’t seem to get it working; it [the Kinect sensor] is causing a major development headache for the team,” said the unnamed member of the BBC’s iPlayer development team who did not divulge the exact cause of the issue.
The BBC iPlayer was initially expected to be available on the launch of the Xbox One on 22 November in the UK, but was delayed by the BBC without giving a specific reason for the set back.
