Any chance we could get support for Get_iPlayer as a download client? Its easy enough to trigger via the command line or via its PVR webservice.
Not really sure how this would work with Sonarr, it seems to handle its own scheduling and deletion already. At this time this isn’t something we’d consider adding.
You can send manual requests to download shows based on name or id via the command line. Giving the option with the blackhole torrent or usenet client to send a command line with parameters could solve this may be?
I’d rather not have to manage two schedules if at all possible.
Do they have documentation on this?
Does it work outside the UK?
It works outside the UK with a vpn, I know a few people who use vpns to access iplayer.
Documentation is here:https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/documentation#recording
I would stick to searching the episode and our show title, the pid is an internal iplayer value, it’s not indexed externally to my knowledge.
Unfortunately the design of get iPlayer doesn’t fit the way Sonarr operates. Sonarr doesn’t search for an episode after it airs, it uses RSS feeds to see what is available so there isn’t a way to trigger a new recording in iPlayer from Sonarr automatically, at best it would need to be done manually.
I like this idea also, so will try to keep it alive 
Get_iplayer downloads a list of all available episodes, could this be subbed in for a RSS feed and parsed locally?
That doesn’t improve it any, it would need a custom RSS reader, a new download client type and a new download client that would support “downloading” an item and placing it somewhere.
