I have it now. My misunderstanding was that I was putting the file address where file is in the command line, not putting the file into the place where GiP settings have it. Sorry for my mistake. This does raise a question for me, when running --tag-only, does GiP fetch the metadata from the server and apply it to the file we have or does it use the metadata it finds in the file but incorrectly tagged and then re-tag? I assume it fetches the metadata anew. Thanks again for reminding me of all I had forgotten! _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
