There is caching of feeds but on LMS. So if you get a HTTP error (e.g. 40x, 50x) - the error will be cached and refreshed if you try every few minutes. If the fetch works but there are missing or unplayable programs - the issue is the BBC and management of data feeds. The BBCiPlayer and BBCiPlayerExtra plugins do not look for podcast (MP3) but the broadcast programs (AAC) which for UK listeners have higher quality. Some program BBCionly make the podcast available. The BBCiPlayer plugin menu which has 7 days is a XML feed for 3rd parties and I think it is refreshed only 3-4 times during the day (and I think not at night) . So a program broadcast at 1.00pm may not appear until about 5 or 6pm. BBCiPlayer Extra plugin main menus (e.g. category, A-Z) gets their contents from another feed (which was supposed to be cut off by BBC last year ) and tends to be update a lot quicker and have 30 daysprograsm (and sometime a bit more) BBCiPlayerEXtra plugin also had a Podcast menu which parses and sorts BBC Podcast feeds so make it easier to find BBC podcast programs - some of which do not appear in othe plugin menus as they are web broadcast or podcast only. The BBC make it so simple ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
