No category for future radio shows

user-143

Hi all

When I download future radio shows, the category for current shows is displayed, but the category does not appear for the future shows at all. This means I cannot filter or search future items by category. This is a shame because it would be really useful.

Is this a problem with the parsing, the BBC site or me?

Many thanks

The BBC provides category information only for programmes that have already been broadcast. Listings for future programmes are derived from a different data source that does not contain category information.

Thanks dinkypumkin

That is a pity. Never mind I'm sure I will be able to use my limited skills to extract the pids for all the future comedy webpages (eg http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/programmes/ge...2013/10/22) then link them up with get_iplayer pids using excel or access.

Thanks again and keep up the great work.
