I tried to add to the download list several programs using the 'Use current webpage' method. The programmes were not added to the list.

I expected the programs to be added to the list. Nothing was added. I am not using a web proxy, a DNS proxy, a VPN, or a VPS.

I tried to add to the download list Robson Green's Weekend Escapes series 1 Episode 14 by holding down the command key and pressing 'G' (a method that previously worked on macOS 12.7) I also tried pressing the 'Use Current Webpage' button on the screen. The programme was not added to the list.

I tried several other programmes both in the same series then other programmes, None worked. I can search and find programs and they download perfectly.

I did a completely new install of macOS 13. 5 yesterday and did not use migration assistant to move my previous settings programs or data from Monterey macOS 12.7. I installed Get iPlayer Automaton as a fresh install and manually copied the contents of the username/library/application support/get player folder to the Ventura 13.5 OS and set up the preferences/setting the same as I had previously.

Same happening on one of my systems here. Was previously working fine - but then seemed to suddenly stop working with 'Use current webpage'.

Am running macOS Big Sur 11.7.9 and have tried with Safari 14.1.3 and Chrome 116.0.xyz as the 'linked' browser - same problem with both. Have tried with GiA 1.24.1, 1.24.2, 1.25.1, 1.25.4 - all suffering the same problem.

Have checked that GiA has been allowed access in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility, and Automation.

However, on my macOS 13.5.1 / Safari 16.6 / GiA 1.25.1 system, all works as expected!

I'm suddenly getting the same. A show on the iPlayer doesn't come up in the search on the app, but when I open the page on iPlayer and click "Use Current Webpage" using Safari, I get an error claiming the frontmost page isn't an iPlayer programme page, which it is. When I switch to using Edge or Chrome and give the app the appropriate permissions, it fails silently with no error message.

Strangely, when I looked in the automation preferences, it seems that Get iPlayer Automator has permissions for Safari Technology Preview but not for the normal Safari. There is no option to choose this as a default browser in Get iPlayer Automator so I don't know how this will have happened, and there doesn't seem to be a way to manually add permissions for Safari. But at least I can now download from a web page if I open it in STP—although it would be nice to have a way to add to the PVR from a web page.
