Hi Mike With the help and advice from Amro on this list I am now downloading bbc radio 4 programs with no problems. There has been several emails on this list over the last few days which explains all-not sure how you access them. best wishes Henry From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Cassidy Sent: 01 November 2014 20:26 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: get_iplayer again 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 From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Keith Sent: 01 November 2014 18:12 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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
