They all exist for the 2 programmes I identified and indeed I use a variation of those which already defined as <firstbcastdate>. They form part of the filename to identify 'Sounds of the 60s with Tony Blackburn' which would simply overwrite the previous file if I didn't have the subfolder structure which I've chosen. > It's been a long time since I used get_iplayer, but I approached this > sort of problem by generating and issuing get_iplayer commands which > contained explicit filepaths invented to suit whatever I was fetching > rather than expecting get_iplayer to work out what to do with each > file. I don't think I'm expecting GiP to work out what to do with each file. I have preferences set in general but choose to do things slightly differently for a few programmes. -- __ __| |_ __ __ .------------------------------------------------. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:cdw_pcm...@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ |________________________________________________| _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
