Apologies - my first email was sent to you in HTML by mistake, causing confusion with the first two dashes, but thankfully you saw around it. Copying your second command (minus the perl):
get_iplayer --type radio --hide --no-whitespace "Bells On Sunday" -g ..produced a successful download for me, with underscores instead of spaces (v3.17 on lubuntu 16.04.5), so I shall have to bow out here and let someone with more diagnostic capability help you.

BTW, for general information, "Bells On Sunday" is a really good, quick way of testing GetIPlayer, because even at my treacle-slow download rates up here in the wilds of Scotland, each programme only takes a minute or so to download, and thus it's a good test of the entire process from start to finish. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
