I believe this option *keeps* the thumbnail. I don't have this option set, and my nightly --pvr run always shows a thumbnail being downloaded and added to my .mp4s. I certainly don't have junk thumbnail files lying around my store directories. > Is there anyway of > getting get_iplayer to remove the separate thumbnail file.

I cannot tell you how much this upsets me. $ get_iplayer --longhelp | grep -ie email --email <address> Email HTML index of matching programmes to specified address --email-sender <address> Optional email sender address --email-smtp <hostname> SMTP server IP address to use to send email (default: localhost) $ Note that you will have to use a proper SMTP server and not ssmtp. aB. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
