> What are the URLs of the listing pages you are using to get the PIDs? Example: Today's R4 page that I'd use is this https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl7j If I then hover the mouse pointer over an item FireFox shows the address/pid at the bottom left of its window. e.g. For the "Midnight News" I see "m0016hg6". I then give that to gip and it fetches the file. In many cases this then gives me a 'podcast' version - i.e. longer than the broadcast slot and often with a top/tail about podcasts, etc. FWIW I go though the listings and make a text file listing the pids of items I want. I then DND that file onto a simple ROX-Filer app I've written. This then chugs though fetching them as I do something else - e.g. make breakfast. :-) Also did that to fetch the 'RKO story' and the following films this morning. (Listed on BBC4 TV last night.) Whilst I made breakfast. Also means I can fetch before 9am and the data isn't counted towards my monthly data 'cap'. Looking forwards to seeing (almost) "The Thing" again as I've just finished the book "Astounding" about John W. Campbell and his main authors.
