So something like: perl get_iplayer-318w.pl --pid=p04x5pd7 --pid-recursive --mark-downloaded will insert "history" entries (but not actually fetch audio files) for all 80 available episodes; takes 15sec, max! Then, properly fetch the latest episode(s) you're after via --pid = --force; finally, setup a pid-recursive WebPVR recording for series pid=p04x5pd7 and you're good to go... Hopefully this will save others bandwidth, time, disk space etc... Best regards ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
RE: Poodcast that isn't a podcast
Ah yes, that seems to work, many thanks for the pointer. The only minor drawback being that because I had downloaded the previous editions as podcasts on a different system they are not in the history file, so get_Iplayer is downloading all 79! No big deal and being audio it will be quicker to let it get on with it and delete them afterwards than it will be to work out a way around it ☺ I have no idea why they have decided to drop it as a podcast, seems an odd decision.

RE: Poodcast that isn't a podcast
Sadly not as simple as that. The last podcast was a short piece telling me that it was no longer available as a podcast and was now exclusively through BBC Sounds. > -Original Message- > From: get_iplayer [mailto:get_iplayer-boun...@lists.infradead.org] On > Behalf Of Peter Scott > Sent: 16 January 2019 17:08 > To: get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org > Subject: Re: Poodcast that isn't a podcast > > On 16/01/2019 16.53, George Eycott wrote: > > "Fortunately" was until recently a podcast, but now is only available > > through BBC Sounds which seems a retrograde step (and one I hope isn't > > replicated!). > > I have been grumbling for months that the BBC often forgets to update > the RSS file that subscribers need if podcasts are to appear > automagically on their gizmos.

Poodcast that isn't a podcast
"Fortunately" was until recently a podcast, but now is only available through BBC Sounds which seems a retrograde step (and one I hope isn't replicated!). So I used to get it using my podcast download system but now obviously that has failed. Using get_iplayer I can get it using the PID, but is there any way to add the programme to the PVR list in the same way as a normal radio programme? It doesn't seem to be in the cache so I am at a loss as to how to proceed. Manually getting the PID from the Sounds site each week would be a right royal PITA.
