AlienBBC is dead.

>From the web pages there is no obvious URL (e.g. no RSS URL) for a
plugin to read the archive besides screen-scraping which is not a good
way as BBC update the web page regularly which usually break a screen
scraping approach.

However BBC have organised their programs in a general way and I have
guessed the following URL which seems to return a list of all available
episodes and these might be suitable for processing.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qnmr/episodes/player.xml
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl/episodes/player.xml

The returned XML are very big which might kill SBS on a NAS trying to
process them. It needs a bit of testing and perhaps preprocessing
before any definitive answer is possible.
