Radio Downloader 0.5

Today I have released a major update to Radio Downloader. The main areas of change relate to how it stores data and interacts with plugins.

Due to the fact that the previous version had stopped working properly with the BBC’s Listen Again service, this release has been put out with a number of rough edges, which include the following known issues:

• Some BBC Radio subscriptions may be lost in the upgrade as there is not a one-to-one mapping with the old and new subscription systems.
• Recent episodes of successfully transferred subscriptions will be re-downloaded, as the program will not know they have already been downloaded.
• The interface for finding new BBC Radio programmes is very basic. This will be overhauled in future versions.

Radio Downloader: BBC Radio from iPlayer

I am currently working on an updated version of Radio Downloader to work with the BBC’s Listen Again service, now that it has been incorporated into their iPlayer.

Unfortunately, this is taking longer than anticipated, as it requires considerable internal refactoring.

I am aiming to have a version of this available in the next week or so. Apologies for any inconvenience caused until then.
