You can't use the setup executable for this.  Refer back to:

And on Linux, there is no need to replace the packaged install.  Just
download the upgraded CLI script and run it from your working directory.

Both episodes of Tommies are available vir --pid.  It took a couple of
days for last week's episode to appear in the cache, so I guess the same
will apply to yesterday's.

Thank you for your patient help dinky.

I have been moving between Linux and Windows and getting myself in a mess. I have installed the latest Windows version using the setup exe and then overwritten the perl script with the one from github. I have now d/l the two Tommies files.

I have not yet replaced the perl script on my Linux machine due to my unfamiliarity with folder ownership and not knowing the consequences of taking over ownership from root. And if I do, do I leave it as mine or will that cause other apps problems later? Do I return ownership to root once I have replaced the perl script file?

LInux: I've tried putting the latest perl script file in the downloads folder the dropping to Terminal in that folder and running get_iplayer. This seems to run the installed version 2.82 and not the recently downloaded v2.86 from github. I had rather assumed it would run the copy from the same folder and not go looking for the original. I have changed permissions of the downloaded one to executable.

Thanks again.
