Jeff, to download Book at Bedtime, The Restoration of Otto Laird, Episode 5 on
BBC Radio 4 you:
1. Go to this episode’s listen again page on BBC iPlayer. This is the
page where you would listen to it online.
2. Press F6 to focus on the address bar of this page. In our example the
URL is
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04mhd61
3. The PID is the string of 8 characters and numbers that begins with b0.
It’s usually at the end of the URL for radio programs. In this example the PID
is b04mhd61.
4. The command line to download using this PID reads
get_iplayer --pid b04mhd61 --aactomp3 --type=radio
That’s it.
One thing though, because you’ve been trying to download these episodes you may
have to add the --force option for the first couple of times. The command line
with force reads
get_iplayer --pid b04mhd61 --aactomp3 --type=radio --force
Hope that helps,
Amro

I am certain this is my stupidity, but
I have been on the IPlayer pages plus the schedule pages but I can not find a
PID for love nor money.
Could somebody tell me if I am looking for an episode of "Book at Bedtime" how
I would find the PID?
Any episode any book just need to know the stages I need to proceed through so
I can find just one number, sorry about this.
Jeff
