Please let me know of any bugs(This is my first go at flash!) as I plan to update this soon to let people choose other BBC feeds.

preview of 'BBC News UK Edition Widget' app
This content requires Adobe Flash Player 8 or greater.
Click the widget to enable audio if the widget uses it. Note that modern browser security may prevent the widget from loading content from other web sites, however the widget should be able to load properly on the chumby devices. These previews are possible through the use of Ruffle ‐ note that Ruffle is still a work in progress, and not all Flash features are implemented, so some widgets may not perform optimally.

Presumably a victim of the bbc site redesign. I use the rss reader - less content but more reliable

This widget now shows only the headline, and no longer shows the text of the article. Any chance of an update?

@jonnycando Working on it. Guessing there's a filetype problem.

Would like to see one with World Service. Are any streaming radio stations of Chumby BBC? Mine arrives next week.
