Thank you for the caveats, bpa, and my apologies if I am encouraging an
increase in your support burden! To be clear, I'm not suggesting manual
creation of favourites - all mine were created in the GUI in the usual
way, but I totally take your point that the resulting stored link is not
as robust (as demonstrated this week!) as favourites created from, for
example, local flac files. Many of mine have worked for years with no
manual editing, though.

But this is interesting. Do you get any say in the way the favourites
are produced when you are the parser? I find favourites really useful,
not only to re-find series that are tucked away in multi-page results
but also to remember the various series I'm listening to. It seems that
storing just the PID and feeding that to a
"BBCiPlayerExtra::ExtraPlayerPIDParser", if such a thing exists (or can
easily be produced), could be more robust.

I've been curious about parsing just PIDs for another reason, because I
often find things to listen to on my PC. Would it be feasible to have an
input box on one of the higher-level menu entries that took a PID (or
more straightforwardly for users, a whole BBC URL) and returned a
programme or series?
