You didn't say - use the GUI to re-save the updated menu entries in the usual way. > It seems that storing just the PID and feeding that to a > "BBCiPlayerExtra::ExtraPlayerPIDParser", if such a thing exists (or can > easily be produced), could be more robust. PIDs are not all the same, they don't all live for a long time, can be changed if program is edited after broadcast (i.e. same program gets new pid) and can be re-categorised. All at the BBC's whim. Not sure what you think a "PIDParser " would do. PIDs are found by navigating the menu. The Extra Station menu are driven by the same plugin feed as BBCiPlayer - so API delivers a program PID. The Extra plugin goes through the menus and finds the URLs for the entries which may lead to a Program PID, Series PID, a Season PID or a Brand PID. I'm pretty sure the PID in your "Just a Minute" favorite is just for Series 64 - which means you'll need to update the favorite for Series 65. Example of Brand vs Series ( these first URL may not be valid in 7 days time as PID will be gone) . Book at bedtime.
