Hi Lewis (and Steve)
Yes Steve, you're right, I missed the Command Line instruction!
You can set modes from the Command Line for example:
get_iplayer --modes=best --pid=p02tw8xk
This will download the "best" version available for the programme, HD if
available, otherwise SD.
or
get_iplayer --modes=flashhd --pid=p02tw8xk
This will download the HD version of the programme, if available. The
only problem is, that if you specify this and there is only a Standard
Definition version available, then the system will return the error
message you have seen. For this reason, I favour using the "best" mode.
To check the preferences you need to go to your user folder (if you've
followed the default installation then it will be located in the
"c:\users\xxxxx\.get_iplayer" folder. You will see a file there called
"options" which can be opened using a text editor such as Notepad. That
will show you relevant entries (if any) which specify a default download
mode. I know it takes some wading through but it's worth looking at the
Documentation at https://squarepenguin.co.uk/wiki/documentation/. This
gives you the full low down on the many options available, the relevant
section to look at is "Saving Settings".
In the meantime, try
get_iplayer --modes=best --pid=p02tw8xk
and see how you get on.
All the best.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for your help, I have finally got it working again! When I went to the
'iplayer folder' there was no file called options so I deleted the lot,
uninstalled the entire program, reinstalled and now it works! I used the
command you provided- ('get_iplayer --modes=best --pid=********') so would
recommend this to anyone who is having similar issues!
Thanks for your assistance
Cheers
Lewis
Delighted it worked for you, Lewis.
Kind regards
Alan
