Yes, but it's only the 3rd of a total of 4 matches
when you search for "pid":
Line 117, Column 11098 => pid: 'p037bs5w'

Right clicking won't get you the PID in this case:
"128kbps | RTMP (akamai) | p037bs62 | unknown dimension"
"p037bs62" is only the vpid string and, as I've recently
talked about (again) in another list post, GiP can't be fed
the vpid string found manually... :-(
The easiest solution in this particular instance is:
1. Start playback (you obviously have to have Flash installed)
2. Click the "Get embed code" button (looks like </>)
3. Copy the code in the popup; looks like
<iframe width="400" height="500" frameborder="0"
src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p037bs5w/player"></iframe>
The clip's individual page is
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p037bs5w
and pid=p037bs5w
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=p037bs5w --modes=best --tag-podcast-radio
will fetch the audio as .m4a file...
Can SquarePenguin kindly link to this post
in the relevant forum thread?
Thanks,
