Thank you 1&All for replying.
Indeed, remuxing using ffmpeg is easy enough and running a batch script
to do so on a handful of them is also straightforward.
The question about the user command arose because it would, we thought,
help us on toward another goal: That of not having to tag downloads
individually as a post-process for [a bunch of] MP4s produced via custom
ffmpeg options.
Yet since posting the original question, it seems that invoking a user
command results in the tagging step being skipped over altogether.
So if anyone has an idea of how to drive get_iplayer to automatically
tag in this scenario, or perhaps even on how to produce a script for a
post process, then please do let us know.
Thanks again.

Hello 1&All,
We are trying to remux a raw recording using the Windows command:-
/get_iplayer --pid=b08bzzns --command-tv="ffmpeg -i \""<filename>"\"
-c:v copy -c:a copy -y \""<dir>\<fileprefix>".mkv\""/
This returns a programme "already in history" error necessitating the
--force option. The trouble is that using this results in a redownload
of the recording which is what we are trying to avoid.
Please help up see what we are missing - thanks.
If you've still got the original file you probably just want to run
just the ffmpeg command to convert it. If you don't then the --force
may well be the only option.
You may need to use get_iplayer --info ... to establish what the
<dir>, <filename> and <fileprefix> are in your case.
Steve.
