First of all, a big thank you to those of you responsible for a few wonderful years of Get_iPlayer use. It’s been one of the most useful daily tools on my system.

I use it for both radio and TV downloads, mainly from R3 and BBC4. Originally using the command prompt for single downloads, I switched to the PVR a few years ago, when individual downloads became too time consuming. By and large, with periodic updates, it has worked perfectly.

Although not unexpected, this week’s removal of the RSS feeds has been a huge disappointment. And the tone of some BBC technical blog comments suggests an unattractive smugness at being able to remove access to ‘unsanctioned’ client platforms.

Now a request for help, from those of you with greater experience and coding skills.

It’s a pain, but I can easily manually source the PIDs of the programmes that I want on a daily basis. What I don’t want (or have time) to do is to manually enter single command line instructions for each programme when the previous one has finished downloading. So a script (resembling a queue) where I can enter multiple PIDs for automatic sequential download would be really helpful.

Has anyone got one, or could help, I wonder?

Thanks, folks.

Trevor CD
