"updated" !! there is no open API to be updated. "Not for external consumption" is par for the course with BBC - the feed BBCiPlayer plugin uses is a rare example and it is just one way. That said, it is not realistic for BBC to provide and support APIs for non-commercial users as much of the content is covered by various rights agreements and a public API would probably means those rights could not be policed effectively (e.g. copies made and then shared whole or in part without acknowledgements) . This may change in the future as BBC now allow download of some content. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109806 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
