I pass this on purely as information and not as a criticism. Unfortunately, whilst solving the multiple ver-pids problem, --playlist-metadata does not output title or episode information.
I am unsure whether the information is being overwritten or isn't being retrieved. (It baffled me (my case pid p02gthsr) because all the required metadata is in the rdf & xml files, it is just when it stumbles over the multiple ver-pid problem and doesn't find the stream that it goes awry.) Whilst pid b048s4tn doesn't need this switch, using it gives a file "Plants_-__b048s4tn_default.m4a" whilst not using it returns "Plants_From_Roots_to_Riches_-_1._A_Rose_by_Any_Other_Name_b048s4tn_default.m4a". The version of get_iplayer used is the commit of 3rd Jan. (https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/0f4188d878a313f5b9c3f29f1e2117c0402a84ee). Further examples of where the switch is required to download the file are in the copy below.
