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,
