The BBC primary business is not supporting 3rd party users of their info. BBC sees their user interface as primary and if maintaining old feeds takes resources - they will no longer maintain them. The BBCiPlayer plugin uses an official BBC feed which only provides 7 days. The BBCiPlayerExtra plugin uses unofficial feeds. It provided access to all the programs in BBCiPlayer Radio which is usually at least 30 days but in some cases archives. BBCiPlayerExtra 1.0 was started in 2009, BBC killed off a feed in 2017 (which killed off BBC iPlayer facility on a number of Smart TVs who used the same feed - many angry users) but gave a reprieve with much reduced functional which became Extra 2.0 but BBC said the feed would die on 1 May 2018. At this time Podcast were very limited. Early this year BBC changed direction, is trying to be modern and providing a lot more programs on Podcasts with BBC Sounds. It looks like BBC have now decided it is 1 May 2018 and killed the unofficial feed. But this could just be a temporary hiccough (BBC does that) or some other minor changes (e,g. just recently changed logo URL for radio 4). I cannot advise on what to do. All I try to do is provide access. At the moment be glad you have access to 7 days, Podcasts and "Latest". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
