For those new to using the command line or terminal and wanting to secure all programs from a series, there may be an alternative to harvesting and entering multiple pids.
In some cases the program series may have a series web page. For example, Germany: Memories of a Nation has this one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04dwbwz/broadcasts/2014/11 The pid from that url is b04dwbwz but that will not --get you anything apart from a list of pids for the individual programs. Add: --pid-recursive to your command and get_iplayer will try to get each individual program. It will fail where the program is too old, not yet broadcast, already in your download history or some other BBC problem and as a consequence, you will get loads of error messages but it will get what is available that you do not already have. This is not a panacea but may help in some cases though do check the downloads are what you expect as you may need to go hunt the errant episode manually. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
