Oh, I thought I'd already pushed a build to updates_testing... but no, seems I just built it for myself... doing it now.
Comment 2 Colin Guthrie 2014-11-30 12:48:53 CET
Arrg! Sorry, I didn't read the report properly! You already tested it in updates_testing, but I can't see it there now on the mirrors so it seems to have been cleaned away!

Either way, there is a fresh build there now (same as before) and will attempt to push this through shortly as an official update!

Comment 4 Colin Guthrie 2014-12-02 10:46:49 CET
Indeed!

OK, I've tested this now on mga4.

Running the old version would return just one program:

"BBC iPlayer Feeds"

however after upgrading (and using the -f switch to flush the cache) the new version lists all available programs as expected (2249 of them at the time of writing).

Note for other testers: this only works in the UK! :) (not that I think we really need more testing!)

Comment 5 Colin Guthrie 2014-12-02 10:47:48 CET
I've also uploaded an advisory, so I think this can just be validated IMO (it really does work! - have the freshly built version installed now and am currently downloading "Remember Me" part 2 - missed part 1 tho'... :()

Comment 6 James Kerr 2014-12-02 12:17:12 CET
I've never used this before, but have now tested on a mga4 32 bit system, and successfully downloaded a programme.

I've validated the update and so it is now ready to be pushed to updates.

Testing this one too. It needs a UK IP address.
