[backstage] BBC Video RSS feeds guid

2007-09-14 Thread Paul Daniel
It looks like the RSS video feeds generate a guid for an item based on the
link for the item. Unfortunately the parameters in the link can change
places over time resulting in one item that has different links and guids.
For example:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/mediaselector/check/player/nol/newsid_699/
newsid_6994300?redirect=6994310.stmnews=1bbram=1nbram=1nbwm=1bbwm=1asb
=1
and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/mediaselector/check/player/nol/newsid_699/
newsid_6994300?redirect=6994310.stmnews=1bbwm=1nbram=1bbram=1nbwm=1asb
=1

This can cause feed readers to duplicate the item.
Please would someone pass this on to the relevant people..
My apologies if this has already been discussed.
