Is this not the case?
I don't think so... I think G_iP looks at a higher level at programmes available per national / local radio station. If it were to look at the per-programme rdf files, it would need to fetch about 3,400 separate files, just to create the radio.cache file. Once you actually tell G_iP to fetch a specific programme (or something general for which it digs the pids out of your radio.cache file), it can then go on a focussed search of all the places that might contain metadata describing those specific programme. If you run your searches and/or fetches with --verbose you will see a list of all the online files that the app tries to fetch along with at least some of the key info it finds from them. You can see the full metadata that's available in these detail files without actually fetching files by coding --info on a search command. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
