I'm trying to download the Radio 4 Book of the Week 'Periodic Tales' using get_iplayer.
But, if I try and narrow the search down using any of the following then it finds no matches: get_iplayer --type radio "Book of the Week - Periodic Tales" get_iplayer --type radio "Periodic Tales" get_iplayer --type radio "Book of the Week - " As far as I can tell the search is terminated by a '-' in the programme name.
That's correct. The presentation is "name - episode", so to search for "Periodic Tales" you need to search the episode instead of (or as well as) the programme name. The --long option is a quick way of specifying this (but see --fields for the detail):
get-iplayer --type radio --long 'Periodic Tales' Chris _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
