Description Adrian Smith 2009-10-11 12:48:23 UTC

As pointed out on the forums, favorites which include a parser (AlienBBC, BBCiPlayer) can't be used as alarms.

There is a workaround for BBCiPlayer Flash streams on 7.4 which is to play the relavent stream and then set the alarm from the "current playlist".

This bug is for potentially adding parser/xmlbrower calling to the alarm plugin so it can use any favorite as an alarm.

During the bug meeting, we're struggling trying to understand what needs to be done, architecturally, to fix this.  Do you have any advice, Adrian?  Is this not something that could be fixed in BBCiPlayer?

We definitely know there are a lot of people who use the plugin, so we'd like to make them (and you :) happy.

Thanks for any additional info!

So it probably means I need to update the alarm plugin..?

At present the alarm code does not support favorites which are stored as a url + parser.  This is used for BBCiPlayer and AlienBBC.  It means that a favorite for BBCiPlayer streams can't be used as an alarm.  What's necessary is to store more than a simple url for playing (as done in the favorites code).

Put it down to me..
