Radio shows being imported into TV.app not Music.app #263

Since updating to MacOS 10.15.1 Catalina from Mojave Get iPlayer Automator (on version 1.16.1 latest) attempts to load a downloaded radio show into the TV/film program TV.app Obviously it should try to import audio files into Music.app.

Back in the day both went into iTunes of course.

As a Workaround it is possible to manually import the files from '/Users/Ms.NotHereForever/Movies/TV Shows' into Music.app

I have the same problem with version 1.17 (Catalina 10.15.2). However, if I quickly switch back to Safari, then move on to the next episode page and keep Safari as the foreground application GiA loads the radio program into Music rather than TV.

Update: unfortunately this apparent work around doesn't always work Update: Removing BBC Radio Format "Better", leaving just "Best" has so far resulted in radio shows being successfully loaded into Music.app

Tried that just having Best, in BBC Radio Format. Didn't work for me.

I have had success after updating the cache, but even then some older programmes are still considered to be TV programmes. I suspect that the app defaults to TV if the programme isn't in the cache.

I think I have a handle on this... when you are capturing show info from a web page I need to determine if it's a BBC Radio or BBC Sounds page, and set a flag as appropriate. Shows from the cache should be marked correctly, since get_iplayer knows what program feed it used to cache it.

I'm pretty confident this was first fixed in v1.19, so closing this.
