BBC have pulled the plug on the XML API that Extras uses. This has been expected for the last few years. The message BBC warning this would ahhpen is as follows > > APS is now supported on a UK-office-hours basis only.

In other words - I could change the XML code to use JSON but that will die very soon as well so why bother. BBC says there are other options for these feeds available elsewhere from the BBC - they are not saying if they are available nor how to use them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72709 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
