So, recently was on holiday and as I am mid change to linux across the
board I took a mint laptop with me.
Downloaded a few things that we wanted to watch and listen to while away
using get_iplayer but a couple of things occurred.
1) Downloaded file names contained a lot of spurious underscores and
hyphens (not plain whitespace) and had the PID embedded at the end of
the filename.
It's years since I set up gip on Windows at home so I've forgotten
most of what I learned but I suspect that I don't see these on the
desktop because I have a fileprefix command in the home options file. Is
the standard o/p to embed the pid and split with underscore?
2) I can't for the life of me get the outputtv and outputradio strings
correct in the linux options file. My limited knowledge of shell
substitution I suspect.
I want files to go in "[HOME] /Downloads/ip/tv" and a radio directory
of the same parentage.
I tried lines with
outputtv ~/Downloads/ip/tv
which created a subdirectory called "~" with the relevant subdirs
I moved on to
outputtv $HOME/Downloads/ip/tv
which created a subdirectory called "$HOME" with the relevant subdirs
what am I missing here to pass a relative directory name for home into
get_iplayer from the options file?
Thanks
