Agreed with Chris, they turned off their auto-responder most apologetically
after realising.  =)

 I have removed the email address.
 
 Sorry for the delay in this people.

The bloke came onto the list, apologised and disabled the autoresponder...
You may have just kicked a valid user off the list :)

[backstage] Why are there more advanced schedules on /whatson (and radiotimes.com) than /programmes?

2008-06-17 Thread Brian Butterworth
Just a quick question...

Looking at next Saturday's listings for BBC one:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/schedules/london/2008/06/21

There is only 'joins News 24', whereas

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/listings/index.shtml?service_id=4223day=saturday

Has full listings, as does the external BBC:

http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsServlet?event=13broadcastType=1searchDate=21/06/2008searchTime=10:25jspGridLocation=/jsp/tv_listings_grid.jspjspListLocation=/jsp/tv_listings_single.jspjspError=/jsp/error.jsplistingsFormat=G


Why is this?

Brian

I can't really go into the specific why.

More generally What's On and the Radio Times are fed by a different  
system than iPlayer and Programmes, which accounts for the discrepancy.


Needless to say we are working to resolve this problem as soon as  
possible.

[backstage] Cool Accessibilty Hacks and Subtitles using BBC Redux @ Mashed

2008-06-17 Thread Alia Sheikh

Hi everyone!

We are giving a talk called Cool Accessibilty Hacks and Subtitles using 
BBC Redux at Mashed this weekend.
For Mashed we're making an archive of our TV and radio programmes 
available on the web on a system called BBC Redux. You'll find our 
programmes in their native broadcast form (MPEG-2 transport streams or 
.ts files).


Trial accounts on BBC Redux are available from today for Mashed 
attendees. These accounts will be disabled on Friday 20th June and 
re-enabled at Mashed for anyone doing an accessibility hack.


An account can be got by emailing me back at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(word of warning - I can only approve requests for Mashed attendees)

See http://mashed08.backnetwork.com/event/?articleid=28 for more info:)

That's excellent news.

[backstage] [opml] Update of the OPML podcast aggregation

2008-06-17 Thread Alan Ogilvie
For original posting about OPML feed see:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radiolabs/2008/04/opml_feed_of_podcasts.shtml


Update - 2008-06-17:

* addition of the 'allow' attribute in the 'outline' nodes - can be
set to 'all' to signify no geographical restriction, or 'uk' to signify
that the podcast is restricted to the UK (which would mean that the
servers won't allow IP addresses not located in the UK to download the
podcast)

* correction of the dateModified node to correctly represent the
last time the OPML was updated.

Blimey that sounds like a golden opportunity for some to really go a bit
leftfield with their concepts... Is it all* of the BBC's digitised archive,
or just a handpicked selection?

* within reason

If people want to build their own version at home, I'll be there talking
about Kamaelia and showing people how to get started with it. (That's not
everything Kamaelia does by a long shot, but it's one thing it can do well)
As long as you don't redistribute, it's just timeshifting (ala any other PVR).

Redux isn't powered by kamaelia, but it could've been because the Kamaelia 
Macro code was up and running around a year beforehand.

For those who can't wait, this page describes an overview of macro, and has a 
an embedded presentation from OSCON 2006 where I went over the internals.
* http://edit.kamaelia.org/KamaeliaMacro

(No idea why Kamaelia wasn't used for redux really - it was soak tested over 
the course of a year with no restarts other than diskspace issues, but then 
mine is not to reason why :) For those curious, Kamaelia Macro was 
commissioned by Tom Loosemore)

(My only reason for mentioning this is in case anyone wants to build their
own at Mashed, and the fact that we're planning a new beta release / release
candidate for Mashed. Personally I'm planning on using it to write a modern
version of speak and spell using it based on handwriting recognition and
speech synthesis -- if I get a chance :)
