I have just looked at the source for the iPlayer web pages of 3 different programmes. Of these, Click was downloaded (and metadata OK) 13:15 on 31 May. Doctor Who; downloaded 20:15 1 June, firstbcast field absent. Women's FA Cup Final; no attempt made to download this programme. In all 3 cases, the following quotes from the page source look like this (Women's FA Cup Final chosen as this example):-
<span class="release"> First shown: 4.15pm 1 Jun 2014 </span> Searching for "first", in all 3 cases, results in only 1 match, namely the above line. Could this be the cause? I'm on a business ADSL line from Demon (a brand of Vodafone), and the particular service of theirs that I have is called "Business Unlimited" (meaning it is designed for business rather than home, and it has no download / upload limits). I have not run GIP since my original post. The following lines are in the format: lines 1 and 2 -> programme name and episode; line 3 -> URL of programme on iPlayer website; line 4 -> quote from the page source of that page.:- (3 separate programmes illustrated) Women's FA Cup Final 2014 Final: Arsenal Ladies v Everton Ladies http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b045p796/womens-fa-cup-final-2014-final-arsenal-ladies-v-everton-ladies <span class="release"> First shown: 4.15pm 1 Jun 2014 </span> Doctor Who Series 7 Part 2: 4.
