Radio categories
if I search for radio programmes with a category of drama: get_iplayer --test --type=radio --category=Drama I get returned: get_iplayer 2.91-ppa21, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty.

Upgrading to 2.91 breaks windows installation
I run my account on Windows as a user, with a separate (unused) account with admin privileges. I've been ill for a few days and noticed that a couple of radio programmes wouldn't download in the PVR. I realise now it's most likely another issue, but I assumed it was because I hadn't got around to upgrading to 2.91. So I downloaded the upgrade and installed it. The install needed to run with administrator privileges, so I entered the password for the admin account (called HP6300). Now get_iplayer fails with an error (which is wrong, in that the file doesn't exist, but it doesn't have privileges to create a directory in another user's directory): ERROR: Could not create dir 'C:\Users\HP6300\Desktop\iPlayer Recordings': mkdir C:\Users\HP6300\Desktop\iPlayer Recordings: File exists; Cannot create a file when that file already exists at get_iplayer.pl line 4304. I'm not sure why this should happen now, as I've run with this setup for a while with no bother, including previous upgrades. But I'm struggling to find the settings that point to the wrong account/directory and change it to the correct directory. I can happily download manually using --output, but entering the correct output directory in the PVR doesn't work...

BBC Dropping MP3 and garbled downloads ....
I am alarmed to learn that after dropping MP3 or for whatever reason some downloads from the Beeb are garbled due to defective encoding at the Beeb's end of things. Is this a serious problem and are their patterns of occurrences? On another tack is there any way of capturing the output file to the PVM Command Window when using the web-based PVM? When things go wrong such as an interrupted download and consequent imperfect restart, I'd like to be able to view a log file and do a manual download of any that failed. Thanks for all your efforts to keep GiP working. Chris B. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Is this a serious problem and are their patterns of occurrences? Listening to http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b050rjwr (from about 6mins in) the solo singing does definitely have audio problems. What initially threw me off was that piece of music is clearly a dodgy transfer from whatever it was originally recorded to -- possibly transferred from tape; there's midrange distortion, excessive background his and some weird phasing which isn't present in the Presenter microphone when she talks. It may just be a poor quality source file for the song. Picking another random point - 22:00, I started listening and everything sounded fine for about five minutes, then I heard more pops... ... Then as I wrote another email, I listened to both the MP3 and AAC Radio 3 on-demand streams, and sadly they're replete with audio glitches. I'll see what I can do. If people have examples of other on-demand programmes with obvious audio problems, please pass them on.

Regards. ___ Ah, missed that bit of collateral damage when the November bomb hit. Thanks for that. What I'm trying to do is to grab some stand-alone audio dramas for my mp3 player, to listen to when I go walking. My original idea was to convince the pvr to record radio drama that didn't have an 'Episode a of b' expression in the description - but the category issue seems to have put paid to that. Any clever suggestions on alternative ways to get the pvr to do what I want? ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
