I think I found the DTD earlier today. Another thing that would be great would be to have a link to the podcast for radio content too. Something like: <media format="podcast"> <availability>5 days left to download</availability> <expires>2008-07-30T09:32:00+01:00</expires> <content> http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/fivelive/gethin/gethin_20080719-1110.mp3 </content> <feed>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/fivelive/gethin/rss.xml</feed> </media> > > We don't have very accurate information about future iPlayer > availability.

Would be nice to have. I was thinking of knocking up an interface to the content for non-UK users, but no definite plans. -- Please email me back if you need any more help.
