[backstage] Live football score data

2011-06-20 Thread Richard Lockwood
Morning all,

I suspect the answer to this is no, but is there a BBC feed of live
football score data - ie the data that provides the live scores on a
Saturday and Sunday?  I've had a look around but can't find one - am I
just being dim, or is this something that's bought in from a third
party and hence not available for reuse?

Cheers,

Rich.

AFAIK, that's exactly the case (applies to most sports stuff, not just 
football).

Thought that was probably the case, but the being dim option is
always a definite possibility!

Hi Richard,

The BBC buys the data from PA and we use their feeds to populate the BBC Sport 
Online results pages. I think we may use another data source as well. So yes, 
there are rights around what we can make available to the public.

[backstage] iPad iplayer app issue

2011-06-20 Thread Alan Pope
Hullo!

Sorry if this is not the right place for this, I have mailed
mobileapps@, but thought other clever people here might have some
suggestions/experience to share.

Over the last few weeks I've been having right trouble with the iPad
iplayer app on a 1st gen iPad. I'm on 30Mb/s Virgin connection which
is working fine. Frequently I'll be watching programmes and they cut
out after about 5-6 minutes. I have had this with various programmes
over an extended period so it's not limited to one night or one
programme.

I got a bit desperate and moved my wireless access point to the
bedroom, connected to the router via devolo ethernet over power
things. Other devices like phones and laptops doing basic browsing,
and a server doing sustained rsyncs seem okay over the connection, I
only get an issue with the iplayer app on ipad.

One person today suggested rebooting the iPad which (surprisingly
perhaps) I haven't actually tried, but will tonight if it happens. I
usually just get narked and listen to a podcast instead, or go to
sleep :)

Other suggestions welcome?

Cheers,
Al.

RE: [backstage] iPad iplayer app issue

2011-06-20 Thread James Holden
I would say this issue is well known and well talked about:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbiplayer/NF13735683?thread=7951758skip=50

The problem still seems to exist up to end of May and there seems to be
sporadic feedback from the BBC in this specific thread.
