I just looked at my iPlayer cookie, doesn't seem much of a surprise! lp=*b007jv92*:*b005ryj6* ,b00m6bhh:b00m6b8l,b00mbx3w:b00mbx1p,b00m6zpt:b00m6zp9,b00m88t6:b00m88qy,b00m74rr:b00m74p9,b00760w8:b0016bnh,b00mg163:b00mg0xx,b007k4vh:b007hpzb,b00m6ggc:b00m6fzx&empsize=large Well, the first programme in the list is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/*b007jv92*/*b005ryj6* so we have pairs of colon separated ids, comma separated... And you can grab the image from http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/images/episode/ *b007jv92*_303_170.jpg<http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/images/episode/b007jv92_303_170.jpg> and the html info from http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/*b007jv92*<http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007jv92> or the So, to conclude. It's a short string that would give a lot of programming joy and could easily cached with a bbc.co.uk login! > > cheers, > > Dan > > - > Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
