I recall reading somwhere on a BBC blog the AOD feed was developed and is maintained by 3rd parties and that it used data from a database which is spearate from the one used for Web and App. As this application is now "old" and I thin part of the original infrastructire has changed, BBC are probably doing their best to keep ti going as I believe is used by some other vendors so BBC can't shut it down but also may explain the 7 day restriction. So problem may not be intentional but also it may never be fixable. > It would be possible to fix it at the plugin end (if it is desirable to > do so).

Very messy and will have additional complications - what is wrong with user playing the program with BBCiPlayerExtra or Podcast especially as the same program seems to be affected - user won't bother with broken programs on Player menu.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
