Programs not in Index

user-365

The iPlayer radio part seems to have changed and some programs are not appearing in the index created by get_iplayer - e.g.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b039kv61

and

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zzz2d

I did a refresh and copied the output and neither of these appear. Trying to download via the URL doesn't seem to work either.

Is there a magic spell or has the Beeb changed it's format again ?

Two things:

1. Programme archives have never been indexed by get_iplayer. You have always been required to use the URL to download programmes from the archives.

2. get_iplayer only supports the URL scheme from the original iPlayer site, not the newer iPlayer Radio site. If you want to download using URLs from the latter, change "/programmes/" to "/iplayer/episode/":

Code:
get_iplayer --type=radio http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b039kv61

You can also just use the PID:

Code:
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=b039kv61



But, get_iplayer HEAD version should now support URLs from the iPlayer Radio site:

Code:
get_iplayer --type=radio http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b039kv61



If you want to try it see:

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in coming back on - Thanks, both of those options worked perfectly.

Cheers

Morph.
