hello
I am glad the extraneous updates has been fixed.
I have just noticed an issue with updating to get_iplayer-3.18.
in 2016 I downloaded,
Natural_World_2008-2009_-_9._Bears_on_Top_of_the_World_b00h37zc_original.mp4
given the years that download_history was deleted.
In the past any attempt to download a programme from years ago again
the file would be found
and npt overwritten. This worked fine for me.
Today though this programme is downloading once again with change in
the file name.
Natural_World_2008-2009_-_09._Bears_on_Top_of_the_World_b00h37zc_original.mp4
in get_iplayer-3.18 episode numbers are being padded with leading '0'
(zeros).
How do I stop this behavior and go back to the get_iplayer-3.17
behavior?
Yes, I noticed this too, files are re-downloaded due to the change in
filename (though not overwritten) when using a --force. It's a feature
introduced in v3.18 and I really wish it hadn't been done. I guess
there's a subroutine somewhere in the code for padding with leading
zeroes but I haven't the patience to go looking for it.
I don't think the leading zeros have anything to do with it. My file
names are not having leading zeros added. My understanding was that the
first item in a download_history entry was the PID, and that was what
was used to determine whether a programme had been downloaded before. I
do agree though get_iplayer (at least in Linux) is now only recognising
download_history entries created by v3.18. Any earlier entries are
being downloaded again.
Best wishes
Richard
