Some programs being shown in the listings on iPlayer site dont show up in 
plugin. 
For example today "The Culture Show - The Battle for Stonehenge" (6 days left 
to watch) is on the iPlayer site 
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b047pklp/sign/the-culture-show-the-battle-
for-stonehenge-a-culture-show-special) but is nowhere to be found in plugin; 
doesn't show up in "categories" nor doing a search.
The same holds for "WW1 Uncut" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p01x88hn).
Maybe there are new feeds. Or have some feeds changed?

iPlayer plugin 2.5.9 on Windows and on OpenELEC 4.0.7

Thanks

as the feed source has now changed, this should be solved (and we now have a 
web only channel which has additional stuff that wasn't available before). If 
you notice it again though, please re-open

I know, that issue was noticed before the beeb retired the RSS feeds, so it
is now pretty much irrelevant :)

Fact is (and I got this only recently) that now programmes are available
for 30 days but in many cases the plugin (as of 2.6.0) shows only
programmes added in the last 7 days.

I understand that things currently are very much in development so I will
not raise any issue. I wish to thank all of you for your effort in keeping
up to date to the changes.

It looks as though the API we are using does not return older information. 
Without resorting to scraping the website (I am unwilling to implement that as 
it will require constant maintenance), I don't know what else can be done right 
now - you could use the other plugin which uses scraping perhaps for older 
episodes ?

Perhaps when the Nitro API is available to us we can look into this more.
