changes to CBC on boxee in canada

**blinkdy** · July 4th, 2012, 08:30 AM

I bought my Boxee about a month or so and everything worked fine until last week. Then, suddenly, shows started disappearing from the shows list. (Coronation street was the first to go.)

I notice the CBC web site has actually changed and the links in my IE are no longer valid either but the show still is online.

I guess my question is this. When there's a list on shows displayed on Boxee, where exactly does it get that finformation from? I have never selected any programmes and they were just magically populated by Boxee when it connected to the net.

So where did they come from? How do I correct the CBC show lists as they don't seem to work any more? The links just take me to a CBC player website and from there I must havigate a fairly cumbersome web interface.

Thoughts?

Boxee can "scrape" a website for content and data (e.g. show title, episode, airing date, etc) and then use that to populate the online library. If the website is changed around, then the scraping breaks and you don't see what you would expect when viewing the online library screen.

You can file a bug report via http://jira.boxee.tv and/or contact marcel@boxee.tv and see if they can update their scraping process...

There seems to be a problem with some content on Showcase as well. The Canadian "shows" list is getting smaller. Don't even bother with the Movie section.
