Afternoon. All PIDs I use are 8 chars, but the error message says it's
not an iplayer PID when I use via the command line. "PID p074w5jq does
not refer to an iPlayer programme episode or clip. Download may fail and
metadata may be inaccurate."
...so I'm guessing it's not held on the sources used by iplayer, or
there's a check it fails or perhaps it's the wrong format??
you can download the video with downloadhelper in firefox if you're
trying to get a local copy.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to download a programme from the BBC web archive.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Farchive%2Frelease--jrr-tolkien%2Fznd36v4
Having looked at the page source (for the actual video) it gives a 'vpid' =
p074w5jq which is 8 characters rather than the usual 7. Try as I might I can't
persuade get_iplayer to download it.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
Jonathan
