Out of curiosity I changed the drive letter for my external backup drive to U: and then ran the get_iplayer command to change the output folder in the options file (GiP 3.06 on Windows 10)
D:\Users\Nick>get_iplayer --prefs-add --output="C:\Users\graham.temple\Desktop\New folder" INFO: Changed option 'output' from 'D:\Users\Nick\Videos\iplayer' to 'C:\Users\graham.temple\Desktop\New folder' INFO: Options file C:\Users\Nick\.get_iplayer\options updated and when I checked the options file the output line had been changed correctly output C:\Users\graham.temple\Desktop\New folder and I was able to also change it back to my normal default without problem. Windows uses backslashes rather than forward slashes for delineating paths. What happens if you issue the command using backslashes?
