Nodejs utilities to extract PID data from the BBC's Nitro, iBL (iPlayer Business Layer) and legacy /programmes feeds, by category, with the benefit of 30-day programme availability.
Includes tools to dump BBC category codes, format codes, masterbrand (channel) ids, linear service ids, partner ids, rebuild the get_iplayer download history from existing files, and to ignore programmes (add them to the get_iplayer download history without actually downloading them) by episode, series or brand PID.
A web interface is also available. The RSS adaptor here aims to replace the official BBC RSS feeds which were discontinued in October 2014.
An 'SDK' is provided to ease Nitro client development. This powers Nitro9, a tool to build an offline database from iPlayer for research purposes.
