Thanks. Your observation is correct. The count at the genre level is the value as returned by iHeart but when list of stations is fetched for some reason only a much smaller number is actually provided sometimes none at all (e.g. Jazz, Blues). This is the reason is why I didn't provide Genre search for AU and CA - I saw same "problem" but seems to be worse. Sometimes only a test station is returned. I thought the issue might be related to geo-locking but seems not. The API are not documented and I cannot run iHeart Apps to monitor use of API because of geo locking - so what the plugin does is based on educated guesswork. It's possible the Genre API is no longer actively used by iHeart apps. AFAICT the station Search supports a wide range of keywords not just words in the station id. In the beta V1.1 - I accidentally left on some debugging logging statements I'll make V1.1 (without debug logs) the main release over the weekend. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
