Been using it for years as I listen to my iPod all night and get BBC Radio 4 shows every day. The app is updated regularly when, usually, the BBC makes a change to iPlayer. My wish has always been for the main window to be resizable. I don't understand why it isn't when the other windows are, but this is a very old app that was released into the wild by it's originator and now lives on GitHub, the home of all good software <https://github.com/Ascoware/get-iplayer-automator/releases>

I think it's great. Hope there will be an update soon so that shows go into the TV app on Mac OS Catalina. Still works but just doesn't automatically out the shows in.

Using v 1.15.2 and trying to download fleabag. Searching fro the program returns "no shows found" Trying with "use current webpage" the status shows as available which changes to "waiting" once I click start, but then quickly changes back to available without downloading the show. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions?
