Subject: [Hampshire] Downloading radio progs from BBC IPlayer?
A while ago there was a big thread about capturing BBC 'Listen again
with RealPlayer' feeds and I successfully saved some stuff using
tricks like (beware the wrap)

mplayer -vc null -vo null "`cat Desktop/prom55_20mins.ram`" -ao
pcm:file=PromsKlingsorTalk.wav

having saved the .ram link from the web page; the .ram file looked like
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio3/proms/prom55.ra?start=0:00:58&end=2:33:00&BBC-UID=94c5eb708a334b87700ac9b511fafca28b3bd4f850c021331261f63b628d599b&SSO2-UID=c


Now that BBC has replaced the RealPlayer and "BBC Player" with
"iPlayer", and I cannot locate any references to such files on the
current 'iPlayer radio' pages.

Has anyone found a way round this yet? I'm running Gutsy, and found
nothing on the Ubuntu forums.
