Announce: BBCiPlayerExtra v2.0 BBCiPlayerExtra - a plugin to provide additional menus for BBCiPlayer for Categories, A-Z and less functional successor to BBCiPlayerExtra 1.0
This is a plugin which works with BBCiPlayer plugin (which must be installed separately). As a sop after killing off the APIs which provides programme info per station and genre, the BBC left two APIs which provides info on programmmes by title and by genre but it is for ALL TV & Radio. BBC have said these "new" API will die 1 May 2018. The "latest" API feeds are slow to respond as they cover whole Iplayer database. The APIs are also paginated which means after filtering out TV programmes some "pages" may only have a few entries or possible empty. Because some categories have very many entries e.g. "Arts & culture" over 20k, Factual over 17k, News over 31k and Music over 3k - the results are paginated (i.e BBC only returns a small number at a time). The entries in OPML have ability to have filter added to restricted titles and stations so users can customise to somewhat minimise unwanted entries. The filters are used to provide the per station title menus. The plugin is available from the following repo URLs ( I need to consolidate) BBCiPlayer V1.5.2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml BBCiPlayer V1.5.4.x http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/V154etestrelease-repo.xml BBCiPlayer V1.4.10 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/repo-short.xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107477 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
