Hi Vince, that's alright. Thank you for taking the time to help anyway. Last
night I tried downloading episode 2 of Blandings trying all available
formats with get_iplayer but unfortunately none of the formats had the AD
track. So we can download almost all BBC TV programs but the AD versions.
Does anyone know if the BBC has any possible excuse for this?

Hi, yes, as you say, you just get to the BBC iPlayer, which is a glorified
Flash player. I should have been asleep instead of looking at emails. Sorry!
Possibly some conversion process is possible to present the files in a
different format, but nothing I've tried in that line so far works; I've
seen quite a lot of "unsupported format" messages.
Vince.

Sorry Vince, could you explain more please? I brought up the feeds list in
my browser alright but now how can I play a program in my media player of
choice? If I click on a link it takes me to the BBC iPlayer website which
takes us back to square one. Thanks for your help.

I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but it's a simple way to
gget to the BBC AD programmes. Use the RSS feed.
http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/audiodescribed/list
This will normally sow up OK in your browser, then you can find links to the
programmes and play them with most media players.
Vince.

Subject: [access-uk] Downloading AD TV programs with get_iplayer
Hello all,
Has anyone managed to download audio described BBC TV programs using
get_iplayer? I mean, I wander if one of the different TV programs formats
which are available to download comes with the audio description track? It
would be absolutely great if we can download the AD version of a program
cause playing TV on the BBC website is a real pain in the neck.
TIA,
Amro
