Thanks for your reply bpa. I'm a bit uncertain why a well designed and thought out XML feed/facility should be less functional than the current screen scrape but will take your word that it would be.
I'm aware that SlimCenter support for RealAudio will not stop drop outs. I'm also aware of the BBC logo issues. I'd also be dead surprised if the developers were not *much* more frustrated than I am with what I perceive as the BBC's long-term ineptitude when it come to streaming their programs via the Internet and their relationship with players and third parties like the Logitech/Sonos/Roku/Reciva et al. But this does not stop me tearing my hair out! When I can summon the strength I'll update my various SlimCenter menus to use the AlienBBC/BBCRadio Microsoft WMA protocol feeds instead of the current Real Audio ones. When the BBC finally offer something stable, reliable, SENSIBLE and USEFUL for hardware players and I can just do a vanilla AlienBBC install knowing that it will all work perfectly for at least a year without me having to screw with it I'll do that too. But actually, I am beginning to lose faith in the BBC and am starting to believe that they'll never get it right and that to some degree they've lost their clear headedness/confidence of old. Did I mention that even the links under the BBC iPlayer menus don't work on my AlienBBC installation? I hope that the BBCs James Cridland (?) takes some notice of this thread.
