FWIW That's one reason I wrote a simple ROX-Filer app that lets me DND a texfile list of pids/modes and leave it chugging though them as I make breakfast! :-) However I didn't have time this morning to try again to fetch the full-fat version of the item. What I did do is fetch the iPlayer info on it. This seems to confirm that a 'full length' version *is* available, but for some odd reason not the norm. And that the "editorial" version may the one to fetch. Question: Should simply giving the pid as m001vxvk rather than m001vkll cause gip to get the full-length version? Or is that not sufficient? As yet I've always used the pid of the webpage address for an item. I also now wonder: Are BBC Parliament (and News) Channel items available a 'genuine' HD? Or is that simply causing a transcode upwards with no improvement, just more data to shovel? I've assumed that BBC Parliament/News was simple 'SD' formats, because I only use DVB-T2 for broadcast. But is this wrong? If so, knowing HD is available is useful should it be preferred for some specific content reason. -- Electronics https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html biog http://jcgl.orpheusweb.co.uk/history/ups_and_downs.html Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
