Thanks but I think this is a bit complicated. My preference is to turn off live info for the moment. I'm wary about using the http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/availability/radio3.xml because IIRC this is a deprecated interface. That said, I had thought about using this to "skip back to program start" but then I had to consider if user was not in UK time zone or their PC clock was not correct so I'd have to use UTC time from a time server but again it would be a lot of effort for a small feature and I have other things to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104672 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
