iPlayer Radio not finding new shows

user-268

Hi all,

I've been using get iplayer for a few months now and found it a great piece of software.

However, recently, the windows program has not been finding the latest version of my favourite weekly show. It keeps listing the same out-dated show from a few weeks ago.

Any suggestions why this is? Have the BBC changed their format again or something?

The show is http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0079g5m and the latest episode was broadcast on the 30th of Nov.

Any suggestions welcomed.

Start off with
Code:
get_iplayer --refresh --type=all
which should force a refresh of your cache.

Then be sure to use
Code:
--type=radio
in your search like
Code:
get_iplayer --type=radio "take the floor"

If that shows up the programme, download as normal.

If not, the actual URL for the iPlayer version of the show is
Code:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03jt7ct/Take_the_Floor_30_11_2013/
from which you can see the PID is
Code:
b03jt7ct
.

You can grab the PID directly as a temporary measure using
Code:
get_iplayer --pid b03jt7ct
.

Let us know what works/doesn't and we can go from there.

Absolutely perfect, working fine. I had to force a refresh of the cache.

Many thanks :)
