such an awkward intermediate format.
This last option seems to me to be the most likely to succeed. I have
applied for a licence for my own use and I shall be experimenting with
what is possible. After some experimentation I will be glad to add an
export along the lines I have described, to be specified by those
responsible for get_iplayer.
Whether or not this could export something that would be useful to
get_iplayer, it would be useful in itself. I've certainly used get_iplayer
a few times to look for programmes of interest because the search facilities
are....slightly better than the BBC's website ;)... and then gone to watch
them using a BBC-Approved Method.
Precisely, and I assume I would have no problem getting a licence to
write something of that sort. The fact that it may export something that
could be useful for get_iplayer is incidental.
