Suggestion: Separate Download Paths for TV and Movies. #109
Hi Scott. A thought. Is it possible to scrape the program type from the servers?
If so an option for separate download paths for TV and Movies would be invaluable to automate the cataloguing/storage process. I have looked at an Automator timer system for running the PVR. It does seem possible but a built in solution would also be terrific. Just a couple of ideas. Thanks and keep up the wonderful work.
get_iplayer itself identifies movies/films from the program metadata, so yes, it should be possible. I also seem to recall the ITV parsing identifies films, too. Let me think about it; it might be a while before it happens.
