getting the series list using programs homepage pid

user-21

before these latest changes from the BBC it was possible to output a list of all the previous episodes of a series using the pid of the programs home page

Code:
get_iplayer  --pid=b008q118 > f:\PIDOutput.txt

where the pid above is the pid for the programs home page, in this case classic albums, but it used to work for just about any program series and would go back quite a few years in the case of something like eastenders or doctor who.

the resulting list would output the program name, series and pid and was quite useful to see what had been made

has this gone for good because of the bbc changes or is it a GIP problem.
I am guessing it is the former, but hoping it is the latter

upgrade to v3.01

I have upgraded to v3.01 and it only outputs the currently available program not the entire list as it used to do, so presumably that is down to the BBC?

I misunderstood. The behaviour you're talking about is gone for good.

yes I thought that it might have been at the bbc's end.

cheers
