[bcab] Re: BBC listen again...again

Alan,

Yes, I'm getting the same result, and I believe it's the BBC's problem.

Looking at the feed,

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/intouch/rss.xml

there are no items available. They don't usually keep many episodes on the 
feed, but not to have any is a bit unusual.

Maybe at this time of the week, we're waiting for this evening's episode to be 
podcast. That doesn't happen, though, until Wednesday morning, generally. Not 
really in the spirit of podcasting, but there it is.

Last week's programme is still on Listen Again, which is a bit perverse!

The Listen Again audio is as follows:-

  Hello Vince
  Thanks for the info.  I have managedtorecord some stuff using webbie.  At 
first the sound levels were too high, but I discovered how to increase/decrease 
the volume with control plus i or d.  I got a message that there were no 
podcasts available from in touch.  Do they only provide podcasts for a limited 
amount of time?

  cheers
  Alan

    Alan, 

    An Alternative to Listen Again is to use the podcast feed, which is...

    http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/intouch/rss.xml

    If you still have the Webbie software, copy this address and open the 
Webbie Podcatcher.

    Add the podcast by pressing alt-c for podcasts then A for Add. Type in the 
name of the programme, In Touch, then paste the address into the box that asks 
for the podcast URL. 

    All being well, you should have a list of In Touch episodes appearing in 
the right-hand window of the podcatcher program.

    The Webbie Listen Again program is easier for most of us than trying to use 
the iPlayer, and if you explain what problems you've had with it, I'm sure I 
can help.

    Vince.

      Hello Clive
      Don't know about the alt null thing, I can't even get that far.  
Downloading podcasts from in touch used to be so easy.  I know that there has 
been an access issue with the i player, but I can't even get that far.  Can 
anyone tell me in simple moves which links I need to press on the in touch site 
to either download, or even to listen again.  I am getting very frustrated with 
the bbc website, if only they would leave well enough alone.  I heard the 
article on in touch about using the webbie software to overcome the problem, 
but I could not get any further using that.  I am using a mixture of Jaws 6, a 
demo, and supernova, about version 5.
      cheers

        Hi all,

        looking at the controls on the 
        BBC Iplayer whilst listening to last week's Paul Gambaccini after 
broadcast time, I notice that the restart control is shown with the keystroke 
alt + null.  Do they man alt on its own, or is there anything cleverer than 
that to it?

        Thanks,
        Clive
