I use an oracle virtualbox CLI, I've upgraded it to focal fossa, consequently I'm installing via snap.
If I set the default directory to save file as unix my home directory all works well. However when I specify to write my media to a folder that is a shared folder from windows. kevin@focalfossa:/media/sf_iPlayer_Recordings$ mount | grep -i iplayer /var/lib/snapd/snaps/get-iplayer_250.snap on /snap/get-iplayer/250 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) iPlayer_Recordings on /media/sf_iPlayer_Recordings type vboxsf (rw,nodev,relatime,iocharset=utf8,uid=0,gid=998,dmode=0770,fmode=0770,tag=VBoxAutomounter) nsfs on /run/snapd/ns/get-iplayer.mnt type nsfs (rw) kevin@focalfossa:/media/sf_iPlayer_Recordings$ get_iplayer --pid m000lhwf -o . get_iplayer v3.26, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty.
