I read some of the docs on substitution parameters and taking the first Autumnwatch programme which has a PID of b04n8zdp, I tried amending the example showing how to download "Top Gear" with this for Autumnwatch|:
get_iplayer --pid ||b04n8zdp --tvmode=best --type=tv --file-prefix="<nameshort><-senum><-episodeshort>"| I got the following result: "get_iplayer v2.86, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; use --conditions for details. WARNING: rdf URL contained no data WARNING: PID URL contained no RDF data. Trying to record PID directly. INFO: Trying pid: b04n8zd using type: tv INFO: Trying to stream pid using type tv INFO: pid not found in tv cache ERROR: Failed to get version pid metadata from iplayer site" What am I doing wrong? Thanks Alan _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> First check to see if you have an Options file located at... C:\Users\x\.get_iplayer where x is your user name, if not create one with the following command... get_iplayer --add-prefs it will have no extention and be empty. Add the following line... fileprefix <title>_<pid> or just <title> if you don't want the pid in the file name. Now you can enter... get_iplayer --pid b04n8zdp --type tv --modes best This should download as... Autumnwatch_2014_Episode_1_b04n8zdp.mp4 Good luck! This will not populate the download_history file correctly having "BBC iPlayer Feeds" as the programme name but, sometimes, the rest of the entry is ok. dinkypumpkin, I'm not a Perl man (strictly PL/1) but couldn't the download_history file take the programme name from Title and not Name? It seems to working ok on my downloads. Regards, M _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
