I suspect you were doing something else in addition. It's probably possible to edit the .get_iplayer/download_history in Notepad, for instance (or maybe even delete it). > What is the *.swfinfo* file for? AIUI the .swfinfo is a cache of the authentication token used by RTMPdump. Something like that. If, when you find it, you look at it in Notepad you'll find it's just 4 lines of text: a URL, a couple of dates and a long "magic" number. I think the .swfinfo file will be at "%userprofile%\.swfinfo" on Windows. >> Just delete the bad or partial file and run: >> >> get_iplayer "the horizon guide" --get --force > > I am using the Web PVR Manager (Winndows XP P[ro), not the command line box, > so how do I implement this please?? > i.e. where do I paste *get_iplayer "the horizon guide" --get --force* into? > I tried the *Run* box but that doesn't work.. Sorry I don't use the WebPVR manager and I can't support it. aB. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
