There are also PIDs out there beginning with w, r, and c. > Just a curiosity, but anybody know why? Each of the different initial letters corresponds to a different authoritative source of unique identifiers. A new initial letter means that there is a new Thingy generating PIDs. That letter being m probably relates to the name of a piece of software internal to the BBC or to an organisational unit of the BBC or the name of some third party whose services they use. -- David Cantrell | Bourgeois reactionary pig You can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter" _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
