Now, I want to re-download it, but I cannot find the *.swfinfo* file to dump.
There is no such file on this computer!!

There is one, somewhere, but it's got nothing to do with forcing re-downloads.

Hi Andy...
I truly do not understand!
Deleting this and also the partial d/l has always worked in the past.

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).

!!! Well I'll be blowed!
I just did that about 20 minutes ago <g>
I used Texrpad, which I have permanently set to a bold 36 font, which I can just read with a 3x magnifying glas....<sigh>

I _knew_ there had to be an easy way to do it.!!
I got a good file this time.

Thank you all

Rog





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.
