FWIW I've been recording each episode using the series pid and pidrecursive as follows:
excludechannel S4C,CBBC,Alba,News,CBeebies,Parliament,Cymru pidrecursive 1 fps25 0 modes best output V:\BBC iPlayer Recordings\His Dark Materials subtitles 1 thumb 0 type tv versionlist default pid m000b1v2 I've got episode 1 as hvfhd2, the rest as hvfhd1 Episodes 1, 5 and 7 are original, the rest technical. All are audiodescribed.

No, thanks, that didn't occur to me. Adding ‘--exclude-supplier bidi’ meant the download went well: technical, not audiodescribed, decent resolution. Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1280x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 4542 kb/s, 50 fps, 50 tbr, 90k tbn, 100 tbc (default) > I don't know why get_iplayer has not retried with the second and third > CDNSs you have specified. Me neither. It's not something I normally have to do. Another download straight after the above one that worked seemed to also have ‘bi’ problems and happily moved onto ‘ll’.
