I think I may not understand correctly the reference to filename in this case. What I started with, afaik, was the downloaded file which included underscores and no "illegal" characters. I believe it is as was and all I have done is moved it to a new directory. The file, however, does not play on my device and there is no thumbnail and this is what tells me at a glance that I made an error when I first downloaded the file (and a bunch of others) by, inter alia, omitting to install AtomicParsley. When I run get_iplayer --pid b01r1vt2 --info I get the metadata which includes everything I want including the thumbnail which has been confirmed above but I note that in the output there is a familiar line:- INFO: No versions of this programme were selected (available versions: none) but the programme is available in my directory and is not being picked up by GiP. This suggests to me that I am doing something wrong and would be grateful for further advice. It is interesting to note that the downloaded file still seems to include the metatdata which I can see by running AtomicParsley -T on the file and this also includes the .jpg thumbnail. In fact the problem with the player or the control point, I am not sure which, is a fault with the player/control point and if I shift the moov atom to the start of the metadata which I do by running qt-faststart on the file, the file then plays as required but in some cases I still have problems. As stated there is no thumbnail and the progress bar to select the playing time within the file does not always work. One step at a time but if anybody can help it would be appreciated.
