That's good - I only use the plugin occassionally so I don't check it regularly I posted on another thread that NPR replied to my email and they said they didn't know how long it would take to fix. Now it's fixed - I haven't got any email saying they fixed it. --

Two problems with using the graphical page and Flash audio * Years ago the first version fo the NPR plugin scraped the graphical pages to get the URLs - it was a real pain to keep up to date as NPR kept making small changes every few months. * Flash audio does not seem to have a rtmp URL so it

More thinking out loud. Looks like the programs that could be scraped this way are: "*All Things Considered*", http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=2 "*Morning Edition*", http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=3 "*Talk of the Nation*", http://www.npr.org/

I have a hunch that could be what NPR is doing, unfortunately. I like to listen to Morning Edition later in the day sometimes, and there's no podcast for that. I was wondering how hard it would be to scrape () the download links on the Rundown page? From a scraping perspective, it looks pretty

The problem is not the site is broken but rather the WMA playlists are not being generated. This may be an accident or it may be that NPR wants to stop WMA support and only provide full programs via Flash audio. The broadcast vs podcast issue relates to rights and not necessarily relating to t

Same here! Looks like it's still broken. I suppose they don't have people using it with screen readers, or have browsers caught up and the thin site is a relic? plympton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php

The plugin relies on the text version of NPR - thin.npr.org and this seems to be broken. This hapopens every so often - I have sent NPR a message. As thin.npr.org is intended for users with impaired sight, it usually gets fixed quickly but I suspect NPR may drop it in the future. --
