I've had problems with democracy now too. The prob with the rss feed is not only do they put the complete 59 min show but they put a few select interviews from the show. It downloaded everything into a dropbox deleting yesterdays show and i ended up having just one of the 5 min interviews being the one going on air. I solved it by making my owm script that downloads the rss page and finds mp3 link and compairs it to yesterdays url. If they are the same it exits, otherwise it down loads and copys to a dropbox. I can send the script tomorrow if amyone is interested. Cheers Geoff On Apr 15, 2012 7:23 AM, <[email protected]> wrote:
