[backstage] Press Association API?

2008-11-02 Thread Tom Scott

Hi all,

I'm trying to track down the Press Association API, which was announced 
as imminent months ago (http://snurl.com/4xlfr) - does it exist yet? And 
if not, does anyone know when it'll happen? It'd come in very handy for 
a project idea I've got...


Cheers,

Tom

Strange, it doesn't do that for me...

Yes, I agree.

2008-11-02 Thread Adam Leach
I have been using this service on & off for the past month with Totem
plugin in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex.

Its great having all the podcasts, however does anyone know when the
news stories will have the correct video attached and not the video of
the Channel Tunnel being closed.

Shame the Dirac testing stream video has gone, that was a great example
of high quality video streaming and a decent cartoon.
