Hi Amro, and all, I should have said when I first introduced myself, that I am very much a novice when it comes to many computer programs, and to get_iplayer in particular. Until this week, I used get_iplayer in a very basic way: I kept strings of text in a plain text file, and simply changed the name of the programme between the quotes I wished to download. I then simply pasted the line into get_iplayer, and everything was fine. Now, that appears to have all changed, and I have to use the PID method. I presume that PID stands for Programme Identifier. So, this is all very new to me. Does this mean that I have to acquire the PID for every programme I wish to download? Is there a command to download all episodes of a series? I suspect not. I hope that someone can help, and explain things in fairly basic terms. Thank you. With all best wishes, Keith
