Thank you. I'd missed that thread.

Such a shame. I will keep everything crossed that this is a short term
hiatus before there's a viable solution.
Thank you so much, BPA, for your fantastic and much appreciated
I haven't tried a huge number of programmes, but those I have (from
Radio 4 A-Z) have been ok.
Maybe we have a small stay of execution...

This is music to my ears! I wish you all the good fortune in the world.
I had feared that the BBC had pulled the feeds. So, does this mean the
definitive end of iPlayer Extras? I used it, loads, every day. If it's
gone, it's gone, but I'll miss it terribly :(
BPA, as always, thank you for all your efforts.

Is the situation completely without hope? Is it the case that the feeds
needed won't be available to Squeezebox users? Or is it the case that
there are feeds, but the plugin needs to be changed? I'm not up to speed
with the finer points of the technicalities. Has the BBC said that they

Sod it! I only just got it working again, thanks to BPA's sterling help,
