Need to unpick that as the detail vary... The p02yt4dz page shows a series of images with links. *Some* of the links go direct to 'normal' iplayer programme/<pid> pages from which I can get the pid. But... Some other go to pages with no video/audio, just images and text. For those I obviously won't expect a pid useful by get_iplayer as they have no video/audio. However some go to pages *with* video or audio. But these *don't* all have a URL of the 'programmes/<pid>' format. They have an 'articles/<long string>' format. I can click on the embedded player controls but I don't see a pid I can use with get_iplayer. So I can use the BBC iplayer on the page, but not fetch using get_iplayer. Am I missing something?
