I routinely use get-iplayer to do just this. I use the command line because that suits me, so something like get_iplayer --type radio "News Quiz" --pvr-add news_quiz will download everything with "News Quiz" in the name, regardless of what series it is. You can do the same through the web interface by entering some search terms which match the programme/s youre' interested in (without specifying the series number) and clicking "Add Search to PVR". (The "Add Series" link against a programme picks a search that includes the series number - which matches what the button says but isn't what you want ;-) > One could therefore say that get-iplayer is restricted to the current > offerings but Radio > Downloader could be used to be on the watch for repeats of past favourtes. there are ways of doing pretty much anything with get_iplayer - the challenge is almost always working out how to, or finding where in the rather distributed documentation to find out. > Many thanks to the maintainers of both programs. that would be almost entirely dinkypumpkin nowadays.
