    Thanks for taking a look Roberdin, and for the comments. I've taken a look at the lockups and I think it's just that the MHEG app is running out of context. It's assuming that it can do things that just arn't possible when run standalone. It may also be that there is data missing from the MHEG app. It's hard to tell since I know nothing about how the BBC MHEG application actually works. I'd love to here attempts to use other broadcast MHEG applications.

    Hi there, I had a wee play with what you've done so far and its very impressive. I look forward to seeing further development bearing in mind that you have your hands fairly full with a new addition to your family!

    Cheers

    Yo! MDS, do you have any New Zealand mheg apps?


    :D McGoober for all effort your putting into this and congrats on your new one :D
    If you want a different source of MHEG our sat service has gone live now so if there is anything we can do just let us know :) I think our "freeview" service is based on the UK FreeView.


    Cheers,
    Rhys

    I had another look at the problem Roberdin pointed out with the weather maps and I found a couple of bugs in the MHEG library. Here is the updated app. There was a problem with the timer code and also a FormatException that wasn't being caught (Empty string to int conversion failing).

    Weather page image still not working here.

    Code:
    MHEG implementation test harness
    Type a<enter> to create mhegShot.png
    WARNING: Unable to find Tiresias compatiable font
    Reference 80 not found
    FindObject failed
       at MHEG.MHEngine.FindObject(MHObjectRef oRef, Boolean failOnNotFound)
       at MHEG.Actions.MHActivate.Perform(MHEngine engine)
       at MHEG.MHEngine.RunActions()

    Would you like me to post the log with debug enabled?

    Roberdin, could you tell me which page it is you are looking at? Then I can debug from here.
    Snakeman65, if you could post other MHEG apps that would be great, so we can all share them. :)

    Right, 4 more apps for you to play with!! I've only managed to get them working by renaming the folder to bbcone but they do at least load, however, the e4, itv1 and teletext on 4 ones don't appear to work past the first page.

    Have fun!!

    Here are some more, however, these are not working well (except the "The Hits" one which seems to work fine). I suspect the reason is that the app I am using is not really downloading the 'whole' of the mheg app, only what it needs for the first page, unfortunately, there isn't really anything I can do to change that as the app has no built in browser. However, take a look at these anyway!
