SciFi portion of the NBC Universal fails.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Looking at the code for the Scifi.py the video player for Scifi is pointing to 
a page that no longer exist.  I think you need to change the reference to 
scifi.com to syfy.com

Hope this helps. Hope there is a solution

after further investigating... it's not as simple as switching from scifi -> 
syfy.

i tried that, but the xml file that the script is looking for is not there. 
i've tried a couple of url sniffers to find the corresponding xml file, but 
it's all flash and javascript now, and all i've been able to come up with is 
this xml file:

http://video.syfy.com/global/xml/header.xml?rand=1302625531126

but that just gives links to corresponding pages. 

As for the NBC script, I'm still trying to figure out why that's not working. 
the xml file is still accessible (for now). i'm not versed in python... but i'm 
starting to piece things together.

Hope that BlueCop is still around, and not overwhelmed by all of this. :-)
