Re: Glastonbury results

2022-06-29 Thread Jim web
"Wombledumb" also seems to have had an impact yesterday on other
programmes going AWOL.

I wanted to get the "Why Buildings Collapse" which was listed yesterday on
the BBC shedules for after the balls. But too many balls it seems means it
didn't get TX'd. Result is that the iPlayer had a page for it saying that
it was TXd 28th. But no modes available this morning. PITA.

I was trying to use the GiP PVR to download all the Glasto programmes
but for some reason the search returns fewer results than expected.
Namely searching for "glastonbury" as "name" in tv & radio gets 89
hits and that includes some from other years.
But https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b007r6vx/glastonbury says
142 Episodes Available and if I do that from get_iplayer manually i.e.
get_iplayer --pid b007r6vx --pid-recursive --subtitles  --metadata
--thumbnail --tv-quality=fhd
it returns: INFO: 205 total programmes

Why the large difference?


The same thing tends to happen with Wimbledon and other large events.  I 
suspect that some of the 'extra' programmes are Red Button, iPlayer 
only, or otherwise outside the remit or the time frame of the programme 
searching mechanism.  I would suggest using the

--pid --pid-recursive
method instead.

'Never' is in fact correct.


I've sometimes had useful feedback or help from the BBC when mentioning
this kind of thing to them via the online feedback form stuff, sometimes
it's a rights issue but sometimes it's just a correctable slip-up at
their end. At least, they might be able to help far better than we:
if BBC iPlayer's not showing it, fair chance get-iplayer isn't either!


"Hi Mr [snip],

Thanks for contacting BBC iPlayer support about Day 3 of the Nottingham 
tennis.


Unfortunately, this cannot be made available on iPlayer due to technical 
difficulties.


We're very sorry for the inconvenience but we have now removed the 
Coming Soon label from the episode.


I wish I had better news for you but thanks for taking the time to let 
us know.


All the best,

[snip]"

One wonders what the 'technical difficulties' might be, given all the 
rest of the tournament, presumably created by the same staff using the 
same equipment, is available.
