Īs part of TV50, RTÉ intends to launch as many as 20 archive programmes each month of 2012 via the RTÉ Player. Despite all programs being available on Android via Adobe Flash, only a small selection of programs are available on the iPhone and iPad app. Īn app for iPhone and iPad was launched on 22 December 2011.

On 14 December 2010, RTÉ Player became available on Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) and PSP console. Other US shows soon followed such as Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Lost, Desperate Housewives, and Blue Bloods. They then launched some American programmes with exclusive online showings of Seasons 1 and 2 of AMC's Mad Men. When initially launched RTÉ had already secured rights for online streaming for many British and Australian shows such as EastEnders and Home and Away. In late 2009, RTÉ began putting more and more international programming on RTÉ Player. All RTÉ News and Current Affairs output and RTÉ Sport shows including The Sunday Game, Monday Night Soccer and OB Sport are available. Popular soap operas are available on a 7-day catch-up basis, while home produced entertainment and children's programming is available for 21 days.
