At the moment the BBC are broadcasting a programme with the title 2525.

Does anyone know how to do a search for this? I have tried using quotes, but no success.

At the moment I am finding out the pid for each episode and using that to get the show but I would like to use the pvr.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can make the search string an explicit regular expression (google if you don't know what that means). In this case means match at start and means match at end of programme name, so it's telling get_iplayer to look for a programme whose entire name is "2525".





If you use the Web PVR, this is what it does when you click "Add Series", but you can use the above do the same thing when adding a PVR entry from the command line.

That's brilliant. Thanks, it works a treat.
