I have a batch script set up to run daily using Windows task manager. The trick is that by default .pl files are not associated to anything under windows (they are, I assume, under Linux) so you have to actually call perl.exe and pass get_iplayer.pl as an argument and then the arguments for get_iplayer. This is my script which downloads multiple programmes of both TV and Radio. When I want to add anything I simply add it to the list at line 4 for TV and line 6 for Radio: @echo off cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\" "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\perl.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl" --refresh --force dontshowanymatches "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\perl.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl" -g tv_prog_1_name tv_prog_2_name tv_prog_3_name etc "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\perl.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl" --type=radio --refresh --force dontshowanymatches "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\perl.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl" --type=radio -g radio_prog_1_name radio_prog_2_name radio_prog_3_name etc _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
