Two problems with using the graphical page and Flash audio * Years ago the first version fo the NPR plugin scraped the graphical pages to get the URLs - it was a real pain to keep up to date as NPR kept making small changes every few months.
* Flash audio does not seem to have a rtmp URL so it is necessayr to unravel the javascript code which invoke the swf player and then use some other 3rd party app to play the flash stream. This may not be apossible if the stream ius encrypyted. Also it is possible the code would have to be updated each time the flash player swf was changed. Both of these issues result in a lot of regular maintenance and plugin updates. A while back I started looking for alternative simpler approach using the NPR API ( see http://www.npr.org/api/queryGenerator.php ) whichis used by the smartphone apps such as http://code.google.com/p/npr-android-app/ However I'm not doing anything until NPR replies to the thin.npr.oprg problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95118 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
