IIRC the feed which BBCiPlayer uses does not provide any category info
which is why it is not available.

However the BBC does provide RSS feed which can provides lists of
programs by various categories (see  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/feeds/
). For example the URL for Radio 4 comedy would be
http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bbc_radio_four/comedy/list .  These RSS
feed could be used to generate a program listing which are then playable
by BBCiPlayer.  

I haven't had time to play around with the RSS but it would "solve" the
category issue which I also use/miss.  I think it would be preferable
for maintenance to keep BBCiPlayer dependent only one data feed (the XML
one) so any category functionality should be provided as an addon in
some way.
