Thanks -- I thought I had seen something along those lines. For anyone else who wants to download all the episodes (including web ones), I have created a quick perl script to screen-scrape the pids. The script can be found at: https://github.com/GrahamCobb/get_iplayer/raw/master/gip_extended_search. It is used as: gip_extended_search <URL of episodes list page> It outputs the pids and titles of all the programmes listed. It would typically be used in a command pipe like: gip_extended_search http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b007r6vx | cut -f 1 | xargs -L 1 ./get_iplayer --pvr-queue --type tv --pid To find the episodes list page, go to the iPlayer site, search for the series (e.g. "T in the Park") and right click on the pink box saying "NNN available episodes" to find its URL. If anyone knows a better way than screen-scraping for either finding the episodes list or for getting the PIDs from the list please let me know. This hack seems to have worked well enough for me to find all the Glastonbury and T in the Park programmes -- that should keep me going for my morning exercise music for a while!
