Hi
When get_iplayer stopped working a few days ago, the first thing I did was
install the latest version. I am able to download using pid, but the
thumbnails are generally not downloading. This also applies when I try to
download current thumbnails only (although a lot of thumbnails only
Hi
Now that we are forced into using pids, does anyone know how to download more
than one at the same time? I haven't yet managed to find a way that works. (I
am using Windows 7 with Windows Installer 4.9.)
Thanks.

I believe the next release will allow multiple pids to be specified.

A huge THANK YOU for your previous, and continuing, efforts to keep
get_iPlayer alive. It is much appreciated by many people.

The BBC have removed the programme data feeds used by get_iplayer
It seems that the programme schedule data feeds are still working
(lots of xml, e.g.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/schedules/hd/2014/10/31.xml)
and
Don't forget that with most services, including the bbc, you just swap
.xml for .json if you prefer json and find it easier to work with an
object.

Also, the Yahoo Query Language console might be worth a look for

Apologies if this arrives twice -- I forgot to send it as plain text the first
time.
I rarely used get_iplayer's searches and I only use Linux and the
command line. I have a script to get the PIDs from the radio4 schedule;
I have modified it to do TV too. It is very crude but someone may find it
For those new to using the command line or terminal and wanting
to secure all programs from a series, there may be an alternative
to harvesting and entering multiple pids.
In some cases the program series may have a series web page. For
example, Germany: Memories of a Nation has this one:
below is a hack that uses last week's schedules (and stuff before
today in this week's schedules) to enable some degree of searching for
tv programmes. Dinkypumpkin's proposed updates will almost certainly
provide a better solution, but this seems to be making the pvr work
again for me. YMMV

I'd be fine with having to put my television licence number in a

I agree, it also looks to me like they are moving to some sort of
closed model that needs keys to access it.
Quite how on earth they will do this without locking out lots of
legacy devices I don't know.
Thanks Jeremy, that helps me understand a bit more. Having continued to
read on the BBC

There's three ways something like this could be used:
1. Client-side scraping of programme data (maybe a Perl script that more
directly hooks into get_iplayer would be better?)
It would take some time to populate the programme data. Scraping the

Can I also say a massive thank you to Dinky and others who have worked

This is a problem the BBC should have foreseen. As soon as you put software
into embedded devices like TVs or PVRs, either you have to support it for at
least 10 years or you will break someone's viewing experience. It appears to me
that insufficient thought was given to this. I've been in the
It might be worth raising it on the Sony forum, or checking which firmware
it's got and what the most recent is on the Sony support page for that
model.
I have a Sony TV from what I believe to be the first year they did
Internet TVs - 2010 - and I've just checked, the iPlayer is working fine.
That method doesn't seem to work for me - for TV, anyway. For example,
BBC4 have a number of blues programs available in their archive (see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/group/p01m79bn). If I try to use the
p01m79bn pid, I get the following:

Hello,
And firstly, thanks for all of your efforts so far that has made it possible
for me and many others to listen to BBC radio here in New Zealand and around
the world. This ability has allowed me and my family to keep up with what is

Hello
There have been several patches suggested to get_iplayer-2.87.
It is not clear which operating system you are using so I cannot be more
helpful.
I use Debian Linux and Mac OSX Snow Leopard/Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
My get_iplayer computer is a Mac Mini using a 40in flat panel TV
Hello Terry,
Thanks for the swift reply. It's really rather simple this end, Windows 7 on
a pc. All I use Get_Iplayer for is downloading radio programmes (Chris
Evans) to save on a USB memory stick and listen on the car radio!
As kiwi radio is so damn awful, it's really refreshing to listen to
Hello
I will send you the patched get_player and use it.
Just call it as get_iplayer-patched instead of get_iplayer or get_iplayer.pl .
It should work.
I like the Doctor Blake Mysteries and the Miss Fisher program.
