Problem since 27th Oct 2011

[Allan Preston]

Any new shows added to the iplayer's index since 27 Oct 2011 have a
blank modes: which means get_iplayer can't download them. For example:

modes:          default:
modesizes:      default:
name:           Rab C Nesbitt: Series 10
nameshort:      Rab C Nesbitt
pid:            b016p72l

This problem seems to affect all programs "added" since midnight 26
Oct 2011, and I first noticed it on 27 Oct 2011.
Is it a problem that is affecting only me, or is it a change the BBC
have implemented?
