My locally patched copy of the script is well pre-2.87, but when I run,

get_iplayer --pid=b04m0l3g --force --subtitles-only
get_iplayer --pid=b04m0l3g --force --thumbnail-only
the switches DO PERFORM their usual functions, i.e.
only the subs/thumbnail get fetched.
Release notes updated
If I also try another programme that was initially in the
tv cache but now is not (> 7d old), e.g. pid=b04lckj1,
that also fails:
get_iplayer --pid=b04lckj1 --force --subtitles-only
(but get_iplayer --pid=b04lckj1 --force --subtitles
WORKS with the patched 2.86 - former GIT HEAD -
version of GiP).
Is this the expected behaviour and if yes, could it be fixed/
is it fixed in 2.87+ ?
You need 2.87 for that
The --pid option previously invoked an immediate download
regardless of the other options specified.
This was (pre-2.87) indeed true for --info; in fact, I am used to
typing together "-i --pid=[pid]" so that my command prompt
window first displays the available metadata and then moves on
to the downloading part...
I understand that with 2.87 only the metadata will be shown:
get_iplayer --type=radio -i --pid=b04ksl4f
Is there anything I could add in 2.87 (perhaps -g) to
revert to the previous behaviour?
You can remove the "|| $opt->{info}" conditions in the commit you
referenced if you want that. --info should short-circuit --get as well,
but it wasn't worth the bother. If you want to keep metadata from a
download, use --metadata.
