__title__ ="bbciplayer_api - Simple-to-use Python interface to the BBC iPlayer RSS feeds (http://www.bbc.co.uk)"
__author__="R.D. Vaughan"
__purpose__='''
This python script is intended to perform a variety of utility functions to search and access text
meta data, video and image URLs from the BBC iPlayer Web site. These routines process RSS feeds
provided by BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk). The specific BBC iPlayer RSS feeds that are processed are controled through a user XML preference file usually found at
"~/.mythtv/MythNetvision/userGrabberPrefs/bbciplayer.xml"
'''

__version__="v0.1.3"
# 0.1.0 Initial development
# 0.1.1 Changed the logger to only output to stderr rather than a file
# 0.1.2 Fixed incorrect URL creation for RSS feed Web pages
#       Restricted custom HTML web pages to Video media only. Audio will only play from its Web page.
#       Add the "customhtml" tag to search and treeviews
#       Removed the need for python MythTV bindings and added "%SHAREDIR%" to icon directory path
# 0.1.3 Fixed search due to BBC Web site changes
