I guess my wish would be that get_iplayer would only return a releaseyear if one was provided and not return when one is not as this not the release year and is available separately in the metadata returned anyway... As above, use the form ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/ ... to find a page for a programme that remains accessible even after it has lapsed from iPlayer. Yes I was aware of that form but that does not provide as much info as https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/ does (i.e. the year) for content that has not lapsed... ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

If the film is no longer available on iPlayer, there is no release year listed, so nothing for get_iplayer to grab. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Using the following examples:- get_iplayer --metadata-only pid=m001jwmx See https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001jwmx get_iplayer --metadata-only pid=b00748sh See https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00748sh m001jwmx, The Beach, returns releaseyear as 2023, whereas I'm expecting 2000. That was the year it was first broadcast by the BBC, as explained below. b00748sh. The French Connection, returns releaseyear as 2006, as expected. Eh? Surely this film is way older than that? ISTR first seeing it in the 70s? Let's see what IMDB says, yes, thought so, 1971. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067116/ I note that the release notes for 3.32 state, "Added a substitution parameter, which is the year a programme was originally released, if available - otherwise set to . The two items are often the same for TV and radio episodes, but may be different for films and archive programmes, e.g., Radio 4 Extra shows." Which partly explains the above. Unfortunately neither of my examples is currently listed in the iPlayer schedules on so I am unable to confirm via the website if the Beach does not the original release year (so its extracting ), but all my spot checks of current films on the iPlayer website have the orginal release date shown, so it would be surprising if the Beach did not have it, which makes me wonder if there is some other reason why get_iplayer cannot return it? Can anyone advise?
