Cheers bpa. The Listen by Genre is exactly what I have created in my
favourites!
The search is very useful too. But the best thing is it's made me aware
of what I can create in the BBC menus. Thanks.
If I come across the right person or can get access to a right person
in the BBC I might

Thanks for this. Have you seen the Reciva BBC menus? It'd be
interesting to see how they were arranged.

I haven't seen the Reciva menu but from the Reciva posting I've read
they are created centrally and seem to be updated about once a day.
They are using a similar process of web walking and I guess looking for
text heading to start their menus. However every so often bits of the
menu fall off as

before they pressure the BBC to produce an XML feed of their programmes

had the search I created an Addon for the Listen by Genre menu on BBC
Radio front. I couldn't find these by navigating the Listen Again
menus. IMO They still have too many entries to browse easily on SB -
hence the search.
I'm afraid this still doesn't work for me (with latest nightly).
It might be best if I describe exactly what I am doing.
I am creating a folder in my favourites called BBC Radio (by
category). I then go and add each of the categories I want from Home

This would bee confirming but I think what is happening is Favorites is
saving a menu item as an URL but not all BBC URLs are playable or OPML
- they need a special parser and this parameter is being lost or
perhaps it doesn't work when URL is played outside of AlienBBC menu.
I don't think all
But the Listen Again categories *do* work correctly if I add them to
favourites. It's just that they appear to stop working if I then move
them into a favourites folder of my own making. Try this:
Navigate to Home AlienBBC BBC Listen Again. Add the category
Comedy to your favourites using the
So you should be able to do the following (just worked for me), all from
the web interface
1) navigate to an alien menu you like and press heart to add to
favorites
2) go to favorites and select edit to move into editor mode
(notice the alien menu you added should be at the root level)
3)
Basically the AlienBBC menus are a copy of the BBC web page menus
because they are built on the fly.
In each BBC radio web pages there are many href URLs - a number of

can't remember the exact mechanism but there is some text

the BBC menus/navigation within AlienBBC?

This should work exactly as you described.. The main reason for the new
favorites is so I can have Comedy and Quizzes as a favorite!
You should be able to add any menu level from alien to your favorites.
When you do this and then navigate to your favorites you see the submenu
and anything below
Looks like I need to update Alien to allow this again - bear with us.

I hope this will be fixed in the next server nightly. This should allow
you to add alien menu levels from the web interface to favorites.
