Thanks Brian, do you know if these are actual 'static' links? That is, if I click on b006qpgr next week (or even tomorrow) will it display the current Archers episodes available? (Of course, I will check tomorrow to see the links are still valid).
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qpgr/episodes/player seems more comprehensive but still does not include the Omnibus. PS If it is a static link (which would be great) would http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/Archers have been a more descriptive URL? _____ From: owner-backstage-develo...@lists.bbc.co.uk [mailto:owner-backstage-develo...@lists.bbc.co.uk] On Behalf Of Brian Butterworth Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 2:00 PM To: backstage-developer@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage-developer] Stuck in Web 1.0... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qrzz ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qpgr ? 2009/7/15 Mick <mick2...@hotmail.com> Hi, I got to this list from a Radio 4 message board question, I'm not sure if this is the right place for my question but I appreciate any help you can give, though I must admit I definitely feel old school. I was using a web page that has short-cuts to various BBC radio programmes. (It runs mainly on a very old laptop, running Win98, but works marvelously as an internet radio). I had created a bunch of static links but recent changes on the BBC website have made these invalid. For example for the Afternoon Play I had created the following HTML Afternoon Play - <a href="rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_mon.ra">Monday</a> <a href="rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_tue.ra">Tuesday</a> <a href="rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_wed.ra">Wednesday</a> <a href="rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_thu.ra">Thursday</a> <a href="rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_fri.ra">Friday</a> <br> Note: The laptop 'prefers' to play the Realplayer link rather than iPlayer, which it can cope with but does struggle. Is there a way I can setup a webpage that would allow one-click access to available Afternoon Plays, Archers etc.? (from my research it seems that each Archer episode is now a different URL, and I have been unable to decipher if there is a predictable pattern to the format). Apologies if this is not the right place for this question.
