Hi Amro
I'm following this thread on Get_Iplayer and wonder if you could clarify a
couple of points for me?
I download BBC radio 4 programs, so do I need to go to the listen again web
page and find the PID?
Also is the coding the same as before and I just replace the pin number with
the PID at the end of the line of coding?
Best wishes
Henry

Hi Clive,
Most probably you just need to upgrade to the latest version of get_iplayer
(v2.87). I’ve just downloaded episode 1 of The Searchers, the current
classic serial using the PID you provided no problems. Other radio and TV
shows are downloading alright too. The update command from within
get_iplayer is --u. Or get the latest v. from
http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe
If you’re struggling though give us a shout and I’ll send you the latest
version. Advise others if this solves your problem!
I too really hope it’s not the end of get_iplayer.
HTH,
Amro

Hello Amro,
I followed the link to the guidance you posted yesterday, and tried out the
command when I got home and can still get nothing but error messages out of
Get_iplayer now. So what was I doing wrong with
Get_iplayer --pid b04mh75j
To get episode 1 of The Searchers, the current classic serial?
On a couple of other lists, people are trying all kinds of other ways to get
Get_iplayer to deliver, and all to no avail. I sincerely hope this isn't the
end of my collecting of current radio drama, or that I'll have to resort to
the long-winded process of recording in real time.
Thanks,
Clive

Hi Clive, yes but mind you the PID is not necessary the end of the URL. E.g.
the PID from the below URL of the TV program Would I Lie to You
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04mh6x6/would-i-lie-to-you-series-8-episode-7
is: b04mh6x6
However, you’re right it seems to be the case with radio programs that the
PID is usually the end of the URL.
Just thought I’d mention this small point out...
Cheers,
Amro

Thanks Amro,
As I had to go through the guidance to know what was meant by the --pid
command, I'll summarise what I learned to save people some hassle.
1. go onto the BBC website
2. Find the specific page for the programme you want. I looked for "Clasic
Serial in the A to Z listing, then vclicked on the link to "The Searchers
Episode 1 radio 4".
3. Look at the U R L for the webpage. The end of the address will generally
be the letter B followed by about seven random letters and numbers. My
Clasic Serial episode showed as:
b04mh75j
So your get_iplayer command to download it will be:
Get_iplayer --pid b04mh75j
Or, when said aloud:
Get_iplayer space dash dash p I d b04mh75j
It's a pity it's busted Webbie as well.
Best,
Clive

Hi all,
Yes, apparently, as of yesterday, the BBC has removed the program data feeds
which get_iplayer uses. So for the time being we’ll have to use the PID
method to download TV and radio programs with get_iplayer. Do not despair if
the above meant absolutely nothing to you, it did to me too! Read the below
and you’ll be downloading radio and TV programs using the PID command with
no time at all.
For a concise explanation of the problem visit
https://squarepenguin.co.uk/forums/topic/get_iplayer-search-and-pvr-functions-no-longer-work-no-fix-available/
To learn how to use PID read the section “The PID – WORKING” at
https://squarepenguin.co.uk/guides/tv-download-guide/
Please note that with this PID method all other commands still work so one
can use --versions=audiodescribed to download the audio described version of
a TV program. The PID command works for radio in the same way as TV.
The main index for the above get_iplayer guide can be found at
https://squarepenguin.co.uk/guides/
HTH,
Amro

Of no help whatsoever, but just to confirm that the same has happened to my
installation very recently.

Has something changed on get_iplayer?
It just stopped obeying requests giving no information at all.
I have uninstalled and re-loaded it but to no avail.
desperate here, any help welcomed.
