Attached is a companion Addon which enables user to use the iPlayer
search facility.
The new iPlayer URL organisation has broken some of the older Program
oriented URL which users have used to directly play favorite BBC
programs. The iPlayer Search addon may be useful as a predefined search
phrase (e.g. "Chris Moyle", "The Archers") will locate specific episodes
quickly.
With the Addon you can use predefined searches as menu entries or
interactive with user input through WebUI, SB remote and SBC.
The Search looks through program titles and descriptions so sometimes
odd results will happen (e.g. Archers search will also find other drama
program with an actor whose surname is Archer). If the search Phrase
corresponds to a standard BBC category (e.g. News, comedy) or a single
letter, then the search results will be the same as the standard
category menu item.
To create your own predefined search edit the URL in the menuy entry.
The search words are added at the end after "?q=". For multiple words
use a "+" between the words.
Examples - searches for "Book" and "Book Bedtime"
Code:
--------------------
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search/radio/?q=Bedtime
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search/radio/?q=Book+Bedtime
--------------------
To install just unzip and drop the two files into the Alien/Addons
directory and restart SC. A new menu item will be added "Search iPlayer
Radio" which has the basic search and some example entries which can be
modified and moved.
Please report any problems or issues or any other feedback/ideas.
