A few programme titles include characters which are forbidden in Windows
file and folder names.
Is it possible to install a switch (enabled by default?) which converts
them to whitespace or underscores?
Or is there a patch which could be inserted into the Perl file?
When GiP tries to download 'How Tickled am I?', it skips the download
and I get an error code. I'm sorry, I don't know how to send the output
of a DOS window to a text file, but the error looks like:
Command exit code 1 (raw code 256)
failed to record stream
ERROR: Failed to record
If GiP tries to create a folder named with a reserved character (like
'?'), it gives an error at line 3939 of get_iplayer.pl, which is:
mkpath("$prog->{dir}");
...and exits.
Obviously it's tried and failed to created the folder, and this is a
fatal error.
The reserved characters are:
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
: (colon)
* (asterisk)
? (question mark)
" (double quotes)
< (left arrow, less than symbol)
> (right arrow, greater than symbol)
| (vertical bar, 'or' symbol)
