Hmm, that link seems to be working fine now. Can you re-test it?


Yep, working now.

It's fine to report them here too as long as no-one else minds?

As you have rightly guessed, this is down to how the BBC organise themselves 
into a Radio Player and an iPlayer which has both radio and TV programmes 
available. When the current feeds are switched off, and I move the RSS adaptor 
to Nitro, this problem will go away. I'm loath to do it yet as Nitro is still 
rather slow in comparison. Apologies, I forgot to mention this issue, as I'm 
normally only concerned with radio programmes.

As above, the current version is at the mercy of the /programmes feeds which 
are likely to disappear at the same time as the schedule feeds used by GiP. But 
the migration path to Nitro is there and tested.

Cheers, Mike

Even better, looks like I won't have to write any code :-)

Except that ...

https://bbc-rss.herokuapp.com/rss/custom/ancient%20greece.rss

gives ...

" Application Error

Sorry, they were plugged on the get_iplayer forum, but this is the first 
announcement here.

You can generate any keyword-search based RSS feed dynamically at

https://bbc-rss.herokuapp.com/rss/custom/search%20term.rss

Just remember to URL encode the search term as above (i.e. replacing spaces 
with %20).

See the 'custom search' box and Generate button to do it manually.

I hope the source is useful. You may need a BBC searchSuggest API key to use 
the same search as this does (they are available if you know where to look), 
but there are alternative search endpoints (for now). Examples:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/programmes/a-z/by/doctor%20who/player.json
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a-z/by/aberfan/player.json

Cheers, Mike

And thanks for publishing the source too - I expect I'll be able to use
that to resurrect my keyword search RSS feeds.

Wow, thanks for setting all that up, I didn't know the RSS feeds had
been recreated. Rebooted, to use contemporary jargon :)

I'm getting "Internal Server Error" though on anything but the new
feeds you've added. I'd love to get the BBC stuff back into my RSS
reader.

Cheers
Nick
