It seems that the programme schedule data feeds are still working

Don't forget that with most services, including the bbc, you just swap
.xml for .json if you prefer json and find it easier to work with an
object.

Thank you, User Name. Here's another patch (from version 2.83) that
fixes the BBC iPlayer feeds in the programme titles.
In the sub generate_filenames, change one line from:
$prog-{name} = $name if $name ! $prog-{name};
to
$prog-{name} = $name if $name (! $prog-{name} ||

That's one model. It depends on caching policies, geographic
restrictions and other terms as yet unknown. Even if all that were

It sucks big time. I can't see any easy way using iplayer to, for example,
list all radio dramas from the last few days. I often do this, pick something
interesting, get all the episodes (and that could be over several weeks),
listen to them in the car, delete. Rinse and repeat. Since
this
