Red Button stream index?

user-1043

Hi

I am trying to add Red Button streams to a Kodi addon and I can't find an index page to start from. Does anyone know of one and has get_iplayer ever had them?

The direct links I have are from here: http://pastebin.com/UXzDKYM9
and follow the pattern:

Thanks

Hi mumbo,
get_iplayer used to be able to index red button content, but that ability was lost when the BBC removed the index feeds that GiP used to create the cache.

The feeds GiP now uses are the BBC's schedule feeds which contain a lot less info than the old feeds did.

Some of the things that were lost were category info, web-only content and red button listings.

I don't think there is a source for these now.

Thanks for that.

I know all the Smart TVs and Playstations etc have the Red Button feeds. I was hoping someone had sniffed their network and found out where the streams get indexed from.

I managed to track down an answer.
The 24 streams follow the format:
