Hello Keith and listers,
As far as I can see Get_Iplayer has become useless. Is this because of a
change in the BBC Iplayer? It's a pity as I hadn't downloaded the second
part of 'For whom the bell tolls'.
Cheers,
Mike

Subject: [access-uk] get_iplayer again
Hi Amro, and all,
I should have said when I first introduced myself, that I am very much a
novice when it comes to many computer programs, and to get_iplayer in
particular.
Until this week, I used get_iplayer in a very basic way: I kept strings of
text in a plain text file, and simply changed the name of the programme
between the quotes I wished to download. I then simply pasted the line into
get_iplayer, and everything was fine.
Now, that appears to have all changed, and I have to use the PID method. I
presume that PID stands for Programme Identifier. So, this is all very new
to me.
Does this mean that I have to acquire the PID for every programme I wish to
download?
Is there a command to download all episodes of a series? I suspect not.
I hope that someone can help, and explain things in fairly basic terms.
Thank you.
With all best wishes,
Keith
