The shownotes editing is working for me now. The single-quotes are not now causing a problem. I haven't heard what the solution was yet. Thank you for your response.

There are good proxy generators for c# or java. So you have a jump start using the underlying functionality. I have played with the xml-rpc api and it took a while before it was running fine. I have developed a lot of Soap/WSDL applications and used it in applications and the service is more or less self describing regards, Mark Personally i prefer Soap/WSDL.

SOAP/WSDL is a good option if you target larger client applications. There are good Stub-Generators for c# or java, so once you expose your services via SOAP and describe them via WSDL it will be a matter of few clicks for a developer to get a hello world application up and running. On the other hand SOAP does include a little bit more work on the server-side. If you are lucky (depending on the frameworks/technology being used on the server), you can use a wrapper around the core-services which will auto-expose the services via SOAP and also take care about the WSDL. There are also downsides of such auto generated endpoints. For example you will expose internals of the software architecture to the service consumers. Also, if you do some minor changes to the service methods, it might break many clients since you have no abstraction layer between your core-services and the SOAP interface. The solution to this problem will be using SOAP as it’s meant to be used. Think about SOAP as Message-Interface, not as an RPC mechanism. Then handwrite a WSDL which defines how the messages should look like and write a single endpoint which parses the messages and delegates them to the backend. Regarding XML-RPC and REST or JSON, they are great if you plan to develop "Web"-Based clients. Using AJAX on the clientside or PHP on the serverside. If it comes to more complex standalone / GUI Applications they are rather unhandy and require more "parsing" and "service-wrapping" on the server side when compared to the SOAP variant. I hope this helps you to decide which technology could be used in your scenario. Let me know if i can help you an further! I would love to. Cheers! Paul.

I have contacted PSsupport but with no joy so far, I know they are busy. The problem: My shownotes became screwed up when I cut and paste some notes into the HTML editor window and and for a single-quote was included un-escaped. After I saved it once I could not edit it or anything below it. I think that the javascript block that provides the editor function blows out when it finds the single-quote. My workaround was to delete the whole episode and reload it with shownotes excluding any single quotes, but I reset the stats when I do this which is not desirable. This problem only arose during June, previously I was able to edit shownotes that included single quotes. It surprises me that no-one else seems to be reporting this, it is my setup? I have tried windows and macs, firefox, IE and safari and it always works the same. The same thing happened on my channels when I imported a feed that had single quotes in it. So to conclude, my shownotes contain rubbish and I cannot do any editing on any episode earlier than the latest. HELP! MikeTheBee Hello All,
