[backstage-developer] WARN: backstage developer only list going down this weekend
This is the last call guys, the developer only list is going away at the end of the week. -- Hi Everyone, The developer only list (backstage-developer) was setup when there was massive amounts of traffic on the main list, however in recent months the traffic on the list has dropped and we are only seeing one or two posts on the developer only list. So we're looking to shutdown the developer only list and bring some unity and balance back to the main list. I understand this won't be supported by many of you, but we did give you the chance to feedback. So by the end of the week, we will shutdown the list and anyone attached to that list will be automatically unsubscribed. Big thanks to everyone who subscribed to the developer only list, I really hope you do re-subscribe to the main mailing list, which is much quieter now. It was considered to automatically move people across to the main list but it didn't seem fair. So if your interested in joining the main list again, just ping Major-domo a email on backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk with the subject subscribe.

I was using a web page that has short-cuts to various BBC radio programmes. (It runs mainly on a very old laptop, running Win98, but works marvelously as an internet radio). I had created a bunch of static links but recent changes on the BBC website have made these invalid. For example for the Afternoon Play I had created the following HTML Afternoon Play – a href=rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_mon.raMonday/a a href=rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_tue.raTuesday/a a href=rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_wed.raWednesday/a a href=rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_thu.raThursday/a a href=rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/1415_fri.raFriday/a br Note: The laptop ‘prefers’ to play the Realplayer link rather than iPlayer, which it can cope with but does struggle. Is there a way I can setup a webpage that would allow one-click access to available Afternoon Plays, Archers etc.? (from my research it seems that each Archer episode is now a different URL, and I have been unable to decipher if there is a predictable pattern to the format). Apologies if this is not the right place for this question.

Re: [backstage-developer] Stuck in Web 1.0...
there are program codes, series codes and episode codes. The best answer to your original question I can think of, is to use rss feeds to get episode codes from program codes, then use iplayer to play them. I don't know if it is still possible to reference a program with a code and automatically get the most recent show. It should be using rss feeds, but that will take some programming know how.

That is, if I click on b006qpgr next week (or even tomorrow) will it display the current Archers episodes available? (Of course, I will check tomorrow to see the links are still valid). http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qpgr/episodes/player seems more comprehensive but still does not include the Omnibus. PS If it is a static link (which would be great) would http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/Archers have been a more descriptive URL? -- *From:* owner-backstage-develo...@lists.bbc.co.uk [mailto: owner-backstage-develo...@lists.bbc.co.uk] *On Behalf Of *Brian Butterworth *Sent:* Wednesday, July 15, 2009 2:00 PM *To:* backstage-developer@lists.bbc.co.uk *Subject:* Re: [backstage-developer] Stuck in Web 1.0... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qrzz ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qpgr ? 2009/7/15 Mick mick2...@hotmail.com Hi, I got to this list from a Radio 4 message board question, I’m not sure if this is the right place for my question but I appreciate any help you can give, though I must admit I definitely feel old school.

Re: [backstage-developer] 'All-in-one' UK VOD Service..
Jordan, Why didn't you just call this Project Kangaroo and have done with it? Looks good - perhaps you could use the BBC Glow toolkit to use some sliders, as this would allow you to get more choices on a single page? 2009/7/15 Jordan 1990jor...@gmail.com Firstly, sorry if this isn't the right place to discuss this. I'm a graphic design student and in the past few months, as a side project, I've been working on a kind of all-in-one service for UK users that acts as a directory of all the content available across the major video-on-demand services. I built it because as far as I was aware, such a service didn't exist (though I think there are a few cropping up now) and It was something I really wanted to use myself. The site pulls data from the iPlayer RSS feeds for each channel and organises them alongside data from other services so you can browse by name or date across networks. The service is currently in beta and I'm still working on improvements. In the long run I'd like to add radio support and perhaps a members area so users can select their favourite shows and be alerted when new episodes come online. Have a look and I'd be interested in knowing your opinions: http://www.teev.co.uk Thanks, Jordan - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk developer discussion group.
