So I'm just getting started with get_iplayer.

Win 7 64 home premium.
get_iplayer v2.94

I can download things using --pid or --url, but I'm having problems with searching.

For example I want to see all the episodes in BBC radio 1's residency show.

I use:

Quote:get_iplayer --type=radio --channel="BBC radio 1$" "residency"

which gives me:

Matches:
10592:  BBC Radio 1's Residency - Steve Angello, BBC Radio 1,
10593:  BBC Radio 1's Residency - Oliver Heldens, BBC Radio 1,

Whereas looking on iplayer, we get: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01d76k4...des/player

Which means I'm only seeing the last 2 episodes and not all of them.

Any suggestions?

Get_iplayer can only show you (and get using the titles/ids) what's in its seven day cache.  For older stuff you have to use the PID or URL.  The programmes you indicate stretch back a while.

You could also use the brand PID from the search page which is b01d76k4. This will go through all the episodes that have been broadcast and download any that are available (you will need to add --pid-recursive to your command).

There are a lot of episodes in that list though so remember only 10 will actually be successful.

Thanks for both your replies.

I decided to just do it manually using PIDs, and set up PVR for new stuff.
