The Vizii player is loaded into the canvas and seems to make an access to a blob database to retrieve the contents for a particular submission. Seeing as it might be difficult to fully emulate this infrastructure it's worth opting to just record the canvas content as a video (which requires a screen recorder as there isn't an option for downloading).

BBC Mixital was a site allowing users to create their own games, cartoons, music videos and stories. Often, but not always, these creations would be themed around a BBC television property (for example, the section for Dr Who fan-fiction).

In April 2019 the BBC announced that Mixital was to be closed, citing "We’ve learned a number of valuable lessons that we’ll share internally and with partners, but we feel the time is right to take these lessons and explore how we might apply them in other ways online."[1]

From April 2019 the ability to publish new creations on the website has been removed. New users were also unable to create an account. The content remained online until April 2020 when it "will no longer be publicly available".[1] It disappeared sometime between April 1 AM and April 2 AM (UTC+1 time).[2]

Discovery and API

In the shutdown announcement, the BBC stated that Mixital contains "more than one million ... creations".[3]

Please Note: digitalmake's seem to only be indexed by upload order, there is no guarantee that a specific upload will be for a particular app the Channels bellow provides a list of possible content you might come across.

Range of Content

The type of content on Mixital varies wildly. Some items, such as fanfiction will likely be fairly simple to archive. Other content, such as the dancing robots will likely require effort to reverse engineer the JavaScript and requests used to make the creation "work".

It should also be noted that most of these communities also contain blog-style articles, usually providing writing advice such as can be seen here.

Channels

Mixital is split into 26 "channels" (of which 20 were online at the time of shutdown) each with their own content-creation interface.
