Honestly, I'm not sure. Retrieving the Italian listings is very, very slow even without the full descriptions, which was messing up retrieving the other channels. I'm still looking at ways to speed up the whole process, it seems to consume an ENORMOUS amount of memory building up the listings...

when will italian be back?

Yikes, yes, I see the problem. I'll try and find out why, sort it out and re-upload.

Very nice. But the text breaks the frame for me (it's the latest build - today's).

Oh, and if you could get Irish listings... I would just love it!

Yeah, at the moment it affects every widget that uses a scrollbar. A mouse scrollwheel should work, although every so often it bounces the widget up and down a bit when it reaches the top or bottom of the list.

I can't really describe it better than that!

Very nice and handy widget, but when I try to use the scrollbar, I just move the whole window. Anyone else experienced this bug?

"designed to be as unobtrusive as possible!"
Beautifully implemented.

Yeah, I know the problem with the encoding, I had the same problem with the Opera Platform version. It doesn't affect all characters though.

I suspect the problem is on the server side - the Python script serving the data should be writing proper UTF-8, but somewhere along the lines something's getting confused. I'll not give up until I diagnose it...

Update: Okay, nailed it. Embarrassingly, the problem wasn't that it wasn't being encoded into UTF-8, but that it was being done twice. You can see how that would be a problem.

Can anyone confirm that's it's fixed? You don't need to redownload the widget, the fix is on the server only.
