Hi, Still have problems with expired times for some content. For example this for this show: b01k0y0n. If I look at it's version " www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01k0xkq.xml " everything indicates that this should be available untill 2013-05-05T23:59:00:
<availability> <start>2013-03-29T23:00:00Z</start> <end>2013-05-05T23:59:00+01:00</end> <media_items><media_item> <pid>p01723kr</pid> <service id="iplayer_download_http_h264_air_high"/><start_of_media_availability>2013-03-30T01:00:03Z</start_of_media_availability> But If I browse http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01k0y0n it says its not available. For most content it seems to work though. Is the programmes API not returning the correct end dates for some content or am I missing something?
