New Script (and Plugin) BBC PodRadio

Hi BBB,

Is there any news on the update?

I'm finding that when I try to play shows again (i.e. Radio 1), the plugin only seems to list a few shows and not the whole lot.

Is that expected? Thanks.

Updated v2.2 (with plugin) now available on XBMCScripts.com

Changelog:

• Updated: To be xbmc 'Atlantis' compatible.
• Updated: Supporting libs.
• Updated: Skins.
• Updated: Stream scraping.
• Updated: Language strings
• New: Prompt to Save or Play (podcast) stream after selection.
• New: More skins. (mediaStream, Default 720p ...)
• New: Menu options 'Clear Cache', 'Play Saved File', 'Stop Playing'
  

NOTE. You must be running a XBMC 'Atlantis' as a minimum build to use this version (due to some changes in the way skins and language are used)

any problems etc, let me know or maybe just donate me a beer
cheers

Hi,

Thanks for uploading the new script / plugin.

Unfortunately I'm only getting local radio stations, Radio Cymru, Radio nan Gaidheal and World Service - none of the BBC stations?

Is there any way of being able to build those in?

Thanks in advance

ok. the reason is that I changed the regular expression that scrapes the page to exclude the streams that are now commented out in their html (as those programmes have been moved to be available only on the iPlayer). But, I shouldnt have done that with the Live Radio. Its an easy fix:

1) edit default.py goto line 463

2) remove the ^ (hat) character at beginning of the regex =
so
regex = '^<li><a href="(.*?)".*?>(.*?)</a'

to be

regex = '<li><a href="(.*?)".*?>(.*?)</a'

it will then show all feeds again.

Are you going to correct this in the downloadable script? How do i make this correct for the plugin version?

yep, fix is in for both script and plugin.

To fix plugin yourself, search for the (previously posted) regex and remove the ^ at beginning. It occurs twice, but I'd recommend changing it just for the Radio Live.

that's the second occurence right? i've just downloaded it from xbmc scripts again and it isn't fixed

Yes, the occurrence that's in the bit for Radio Live. Its not on xbmcscripts.com

But, to save any confusion I've released the changes I've made to the code repository (google svn) so next time you run your script it should self update to v2.2.1 Version number shown on top right of script and in changelog viewable from its mainmenu.
It should also update plugin on first run.

BBB

you da man, bra.

Okay, so I think I got it downloaded and installed okay, but when I select a stream, I'm just getting silence. I get "Now playing" scrolling along near the bottom of the screen okay, but no sound. I'm using XBMC for Windows by the way, any idea what might be wrong?

Many thanks,

Dr. Matt, XBMC newbie.
