MetaCritic

mdb139 · 07-26-2006, 02:16 PM

I know this is somewhat off-topic, but does anyone else use Sunrise to synch with MetaCritic? It appears they are blocking Sunrise. I'm not sure when this started happening, as I accidently left Sunrise disabled for a week or more, but the following URL used to work:

http://wireless.metacritic.com/avantgo/

Any help would be appreciated!

It appears to be currently down. I tried with AvantGo and it's not working from there either.

This is old, but seems to indicate that they move around their URL...

They do still advertise it as available via AvantGo...
http://www.metacritic.com/wireless/
and it was available as recently as July 22 acccording to the Google cache http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:...s&ct=clnk&cd=1

This seems to be protected...
www.metacritic.com/avantgo
but maybe the site is available through it if you know a password or have the right browser type?

BTW, did you know they cover books?...

SUMMARY: I have no clue. But I never let anything as minor as that stop me from discussing something! ;-)

I sync metacritic film and the original link mentioned has been working for me. Perhaps it was out of service for awhile.

It works for me too, but a few weeks back I noticed something odd. Whenever I would try to update, Sunrise would say that there was no change. But if I forced it to update anyway, it would be different from the previous version. I unchecked the option to update only if changed, and it works. I now just have it set to update only on Friday afternoon, regardless of whether it has changed.

I don't know if this is a bug in Sunrise or just something odd about the site.
