There are already libraries for JSON to Perl and I use them for other data such as the realtime metadata - so no need for any extra work. The base A-Z and schedules and genre feeds have all been junked - it doesn't matter whether you aslk for XML or JSON. For example both of these fail http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/programmes/a-z/by/a/player.xml http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/programmes/a-z/by/a/player.json and these as well http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/genres/factual/artscultureandthemedia/player/episodes.xml http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/genres/factual/artscultureandthemedia/player/episodes.json ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72709 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
