For last few years, I've had SlimServer/SqueezeCenter set up to play the
previous afternoon's BBC London Danny Baker show as that morning's alarm
(Monday's 3pm show played on Tuesday at 8.00am, for example). 

This used the old BBC RealAudio Listen Again streams
"rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/london/aod/dannybaker_mon.ra", and so on — the
contents of each stream was updated with the show from the following
week and the URLs remained static.

Last week, the BBC switched the Listen Again shows to iPlayer and while
the new streams still work with AlienBBC, those old static URLs are no
longer being updated.

Now, as usual for iPlayer, there's a unique URL for each day's Listen
Again that's live for seven days. These are unique — last Monday's show
isn't replaced by this Monday's.

Since there are no longer five static URLs whose contents are updated
each day, this has broken my daily alarm set-up and I'm being denied a
DIY Danny Baker breakfast show. 

Interestingly, in addition to their static daily URLs, those old RTSP
streams also had their own unique IDs (see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d7kl/episodes/2009), but I can't
find the equivalent for the new iPlayer streams.

So, have any iPlayer experts got any ideas for a way around this..?
Have any Danny Baker fans found a new daily iPlayer URL for the iPlayer
streams..?
