Instructions for use

These links can to be added to "My Podcasts" via the Reciva web site. They give a means to access the "listen again" programmes from the BBC.

You can either add a link for today's broadcast, or perhaps more usefully, add up to 7 links for each of the preceeding days for your chosen channels.

Examples

Example 1. To add Radio 4 Listen Again output in Windows Media (international) form, use this format for the "My Podcasts" link. Listen Again content is refreshed every few hours.

http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/r/4/aod/wi/rss.aspx

Give it a meaningful name, such as "BBC Radio 4 Listen Again".

Example 2. To add today's Radio 3 output (Windows Media), use this format for the "My Podcasts" link. But note that the link will always update to the current day.

http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/r/3/w/rss.aspx

Give it a meaningful name, such as "BBC Radio 3 today".

Example 3. To add Radio 2 for Tuesday (Windows Media), use this format for the "My Podcasts" link

http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/r/2/day/tue/w/rss.aspx

And give it a name which is useful to you, such as "BBC Radio2 Tues".

Example 4. To add Radio Scotland for Saturday and force the international Windows Media link, use this format for the "My Podcasts" link (note the /wi/ instead of /w/ in the URL)

http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/r/12/day/sat/wi/rss.aspx

Again, give it a name which is useful to you, such as "BBC Scotland Sat".

Other Dates

To access listen again links for other dates, use one of the following URL formats:

http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/r/[id]/date/yyyy-mm-dd/[type]/rss.aspx

Replace [id] with the relevant station ID (a number between 1 and 12), type with 'w', 'wi' or 'wu' for either global, UK or International WMA format (always try global first), and ensure the date is specified in ISO format. You may omit the date parameter completely to default to the current day.

http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/r/[id]/day/[day]/[type]/rss.aspx

Replace [id] with the relevant station ID (a number between 1 and 12), type with 'w', 'wi' or 'wu', and replace [day] with the day you want (one of mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat or sun).

Syndication

Alternatively, use the main schedule system or the Audio on Demand listings to find the desired radio station and date, then copy the RSS syndication link from the top of the page and paste into the appropriate application. You can only subscribe to feeds for dates within the last 7 day using this method.
