Another day, another devlog!!
Finally added Rai Televideo support… I did NOT enjoy this, mostly because Rai’s servers are 1 millenium old Sun workstations, and they take a bajillion years to load, and also there is no next page anything, so I have to iterate over all next pages to find the next page. 
New features:
- Rai Televideo (Italian public broadcaster) support
- Rai Televideo regions support
- Bug fixes
My first problem with Rai Televideo was, as I mentioned, the waiting times are UNBEARABLE, so if more than 2 people connect to their servers, they crawl down to a halt.
Other problem is that there are REGIONS of Televideo, meaning I had to add a dropdown to select between the regions, which seems pretty easy, right? To be fair, it was pretty easy but I had so many bugs with it, and combined with the wait times, it was a pain.
Only good thing about Televideo, is that the teletext pages are images, so I don’t need a browser to render them.
(also there are ADS on the non-existing pages so finding real pages is a pain)
The things I still want to add is:
- More Teletext providers support
- UI Improvements
- despagettifying my code
- preparing it to package
- and also there are alot of unnoticed bugs I need to fix
Changelog
thanks for coming to my ted talk
