Hi - in addition to what (most helpful) already posted by George Eycott, see: (Podcast functionality broken by BBC:) https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/186 created due to (podcast feed is not downloading:) https://squarepenguin.co.uk/forums/thread-501.html So, GiP crippled once again by the beeb's actions; unlike dinkypumpkin, I do not feel this was just a mere c*ck up - perhaps they felt, in their divine wisdom, that they'd given their podcast users ample time to (re-) subscribe to the new updated podcast feeds, so it was deemed appropriate to switch off the redirections from the defunct feeds (that GiP relied upon) to the updated ones (that GiP currently does not support / won't support in future...). So, our option now is to search on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts (scroll just about to the middle, where there's a "Find Podcast: " search bar - or do a BBCiPlayerRadio search on top of the page and filter the results by selecting the "Podcasts" tab; then you'll be sent to a page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/[podcastPID]/episodes/downloads where you'll be able to fetch individual episodes via the "Download MP3" buttons. On that same page you should see a "Subscribe" white button, click -> RSS should get you the updated feed in the form: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/[podcastPID]//episodes/downloads.rss to be used however you please (e.g. in your personal download scripts). GiP tip: That [podcastPID] string I mentioned above (to be found via a manual search) is in fact a "Podcast series PID"; I download "Annie Mac's Mini Mix"es, for this, podcastPID=p02nrtyg; using GiP 2.94, you can type a CLI command (or set up a PVR search) in the form of: get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=p02nrtyg --pid-recursive --modes=best --tag-podcast-radio and that will fetch every available "Mini Mix" podcast (not already in your history) in the M4A format; add "--mp3" switch in your command to get the MP3 files you used to when "--type=podcast" functioned... The GiP command posted, currently got me the 3 episodes appearing on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02nrtyg/episodes/downloads Hope that helps somehow...
