I use a really grotty shell script that polls every day or so for programmes matching a list of regular expressions, so it catches them eventually. It keeps me nicely fed and watered with Radio 4 comedies that are broadcast while I'm out. I am very much liking the new 320kb/s streams as the old 128kb/s streams were sometimes poorly-encoded and had unpleasant sibilance that distracted from the programmes. > Copy.com closes May 2016 - backup files elsewhere.

It'll set you back a couple of hundred upfront, but will last a few years and you won't need to worry about hopping between unprofitable services all the time. Alternatively, it's probably time to decide which of that 700GB of data you actually want to keep. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

As you will see from my post I was having trouble with the website, mainly because I couldn't find BBC Scotland. My fault of course but I find it is always worth reading posts before posting a reply.

Setting Locale in UK
I am in Highland Perthshire and tried to download a programme which was shown tonight on STV and is listed in the cache. When I tried to download it I received the following message:- Matches: 674:Lady Lairds - Episode 2, BBC One Scotland, , default INFO: 1 Matching Programmes WARNING: The 'default' programme version could not be determined WARNING: No programme versions found WARNING: You may receive this message if you are using get_iplayer outside the UK. Since afaik Scotland is still in the UK, I find this message rather annoying. On going to the BBC website however and checking the schedules I see this programme does not show on the schedules. Where is the setting which I must change to be able to download these STV programmes? ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
