Previously they put up a list of all broadcast programs whether or not they were actually available to stream. You only found out when you clicked on the program and it either streamed or gave you an error message. It usually took between two and three hours for a program to be available, but sometimes even longer than that. So if, at 7pm you tried to stream the 6pm news it would usually produce an error message. >From my experience this is the same with the BBC iPlayer extras, and in fact their own Radio iPlayer app. On my Android phone it just says "coming soon" rather than giving the error.
With the latest situation with Triode's plugin you now you only see the available programs. So if you are looking at 7 or 8pm it is not unusual only to see programs up to 3pm. It is also not unusual for the their to be occasional days when nothing is available until the following day - but they catch up eventually. The whole system seems to be a bit "ad hoc". I wonder if it is something they give to new staff to sort out, a bit like making the coffee or doing the photocopying. Maybe the poor graduate allocated the job was off with a hangover, or on holiday and forgot to hand the job to somebody else! Easy to forget that the brains behind the internet are human!
