For this scenario, the /ad suffix in the URL does not matter one bit. What GiP then does, if memory serves, is extracts the PID and VPID for the given URL, but as they did not indicate --versions=audiodescribed, they'll get the default version. In short, whether or not the URL is for the AD version, GiP only respects the "versions" option and not what the URL indicates.

Sky at Night
I'm having a problem with getting the most recent 'Sky at Night' programme https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00042l2 I'm using the same method as for earlier programs, In essence as below %s --tvmode=dvfhd --no-tag --pid %s --force --ffmpeg %s --output %s\n (That's taked from the 'C' in my gipper ROX app. The '%s' poke in the relevant values.) i.e. just specifying the tvmode. I usually get the best TV version OK. This simply fails to fetch anything. Works for everything else that has a dvfhd mode available. I've tried using the '-i' mode to fetch details of the programme and the only think I noticed is that it *only* offers one 'version' IIRC 'orginal'. But I'm not sure what in the info may be a clue to the failure. Is there something odd about this programme's data, or am I doing something wrong?

HVF 25 fps modes are back
The good news is that the HVF 25fps modes are back. https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/release320to329#release324 Many thanks to dinky and gipmod for all the hard work in maintaining this. The bad news is that when I tried --tvmode=hvfxsd3 with the latest version of Click (m000cwsq) I got HE-AAC audio with SBR (which I didn't want) even though the audio bit rate was 130kbit/s. I was able to get 133kbit/s AAC-LC with --tvmode hvfhd --audio-only. Up to now the BBC has only used HE-AAC for audio bit rates up to 96kbit/s. As I have said before, players which do not support SBR lose half the bandwidth. There is no option to select different video and audio modes and combine them automatically, for example dvfxsd video with dvfhd audio. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Picking up audio described TV on get_Iplayer
Hi everyone, asking on behalf of a friend who’s having the issue below. Here’s what he wrote "Does anyone know why I sometimes seek out audiodescribed TV programmes using Get_Iplayer and yet it sometimes sends down the version without AD? The command I use, say, to get ‘Gavin and Stacey’ would either be get_iplayer --get “Gavin and Stacey” --versions=audiodescribed or get_iplayer --get (--URL” followed by the full URL of the page with the audiodescribed version on it (After the PID, the URL shows “/AD/) And down comes the version without audiodescription, even though I know the described edition exists?" Any thoughts please? Many thanks. Amro ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
