The /'s instead of the \'s you mean?

RE: Recordings folder changed
Thanks Chris, but that only brings back the same results. In that options file there is the single text line - output /Users/graham.temple/Desktop/New folder/ but that saves the recordings to the U drive. If I amend it to read - output /C:/Users/graham.temple/Desktop/New folder/ then I again get the error message "ERROR: Could not create dir 'U:\C:\Users\graham.temple\Desktop\New folder': mkdir U:\C:\: Invalid argument; The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect at C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl line 3075." Why is get_iplayer fixated on the U drive? It never used to mind the recordings folder being on the C: drive and anyway C: is where the .get_iplayer folder is stored. I'm baffled.

No, I think it's the same as those language, C. Running
$n = 1;
sub foo {
print "b $n\n";
my $n = 2;
print "c $n\n";
for (my $i = 0; $i < 2; $i++) {

if ($i == 0) {
my $n = 3; # Never printed.
} else {
$n = 4; # No my.
}
print "e $n\n";
}
print "f $n\n";
}
print "a $n\n";
foo;

gives
a 1
b 1
c 2

e 2
d 2

f 4

If that's because you like its types-defined-at-compile-time nature then Go
will appeal.
func main() {
type (
foo int
bar int
)
var (
f foo
b bar
)
f = 42
b = f

"cannot use f (type foo) as type bar in assignment".

Not that I see; the BBC continue to provide the 720p25 encode via the legacy RTMP streams (--tvmode=flashhd) and the legacy AppleHLS streams (--tvmode=hlshd). They have publicly announced many months ago that the RTMP streams are to be completely phased out, though this promise hasn't yet materialised; next version of GiP, however, will have its RTMP support removed, even if the BBC continues to offer RTMP streams for a while longer... No word was given on the eventual removal of the legacy (the non-Video-Factory ones) AppleHLS streams, I'd hazard a guess and say they'll be the next to go, leaving only the Video Factory AdobeHDS (not supported by GiP), AppleHLS and MPEG-DASH streams; with the demise of the Flash plugin in modern browsers, I see a near future where only (VF) AppleHLS and MPEG-DASH streams are employed by the iPlayer Service... > using get_iplayer xxx --info I have not been [un]able I just ran perl get_iplayer-299.pl --pid=b008lyr3 -i | FindStr modes (custom windows installation) and got: modes: original: dvfhd1,dvfhd2,dvfhd3,dvfhd4,dvfsd1,dvfsd2,dvfsd3,dvfsd 4,dvfxsd1,dvfxsd2,dvfxsd3,dvfxsd4,dvfhigh1,dvfhigh2,dvfxhigh1,dvfxhigh2,dvfx high 3,dvfxhigh4,dvflow1,dvflow2,dvflow3,dvflow4,flashhd1,flashvhigh1,flashvhigh2 ,fla shstd1,flashstd2,flashxstd1,flashxstd2,hlshd1,hlsvhigh1,hlsstd1,hlsxstd1,hvf hd1, hvfhd2,hvfsd1,hvfsd2,hvfxsd1,hvfxsd2,hvfhigh1,hvfhigh2,hvfxhigh1,hvfxhigh2,h vflo w1,hvflow2,subtitles1 Both "flashhd1" and "hlshd1" are present inside available modes. Comparing my result to yours, one can see that: 1. You are missing the DASH tvmodes [dvf(hd|sd|xsd|xhigh|low)] over HTTPS, i.e. you are only getting 2 (instead of 4) "CDN" variants for each dvf quality; NB there really only exist 2, but the Beeb provides the same 2 both over plain HTTP and secure HTTPS protocols... 2. You are missing all the "hls" tvmodes, including the hlshd1 one you're after... My gut feeling is this is due to your internet connection - it appears you are accessing the service from France (or I might be wrong and you're only using an e-mail registered to a French ISP). Try to change your DNS servers, if that's the reason why the hls modes (hostname="cp401489-vh.akamaihd.net") are not correctly resolved. If you are employing some other means to access the iPlayer service, then most probably your SmartDNS, HTTP proxy, VPN etc. are to blame for your predicament - not a GiP issue in itself... I am afraid my hands are tied up; providing further assistance for non-UK TV access is frowned upon here (especially since the law changed back in September) and had you posted in the forums (where the look up members' IP addresses) you would have got yourself a locked thread...

RE: Should get_iplayer work on windows 10?
Hello Vangelis Thanks for your helpful response. This was a clean install in fact a new Microsoft Surface Pro supplied with it already installed (updates run as well). I use google chrome same as on my windows 7 machine. I will spend some time with the possible solutions from squarepenguin tomorrow (out all day today on business - just leaving London to drive 3 hours home now!) but I can tell you I had tried the CLI method already - no good. I do believe it is possibly something to do with an internet protection filtering system installed on the machine but I had the same one on the old machine (same version - it regularly updates) so it is a bit odd. In answer to the question " Does http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03kky9f.xml load OK in the browser used for the WebPVR? The answer is no as the BBC site is blocked (apart from news) by the web filter but that was also the case on my old laptop and it all worked fine there. The working get_iplayer was particularly useful because the filter blocked direct access or use of bbc's own iplayer. I will try the permissions checks in the morning. What parsing and perls are is a bit beyond me at the moment although I get the drift. How that could be cured? Thanks again.

And thank you for the suggestions - whilst the Windows PVR doesn't seem to refresh the TV cache - I've just tried the command line and got loads (100s) of new listings including about 50 for Wimbledon. Seems like the PVR Refresh Cache is broken for tv - for me anyway. Strange that Radio is fine for both PVR and command line!! I don't think that output of TV lists was suppressed with 2.93/4. Everything was working fine until a few days ago - I was getting listings of both TV and Radio. Now in the last few days I'm getting listings for Radio but not TV. It seems that the Windows PVR suddenly doesn't like listing TV but does list Radio. In command line mode with get_iplayer --refresh tv this refreshes fine - with complete listings downloaded incl.

RFL and fuel duty fund far more than roads, so none of your general taxation pays for roads, quite the opposite. Schools and hospitals are funded from general taxation (not even the NHS is linked to the NI anymore) and if you think the BBC is on a par with hospitals and schools, it also be funded from general taxation not a licence fee.

Mike Some real anti-BBC comments being posted on the forums. While I think the BBC can be pretty arrogant as an organisation (for example when dealing with complaints) I'm a great supporter of PBS broadcasting and I think the range and quality of programmes produced by the Corporation is just astounding, especially when compared to some of the dross put out by the Commercial channels. Having spent a fair bit of time abroad in recent years, I've not come across a broadcaster which can even come close to rivalling the BBC whether it's radio or TV. I've never had any dealings with the BBC other than as a viewer so I cannot comment on whether it's top-heavy with management, etc. For me, the licence fee is excellent value for money - not a day goes by without me referring to the BBC website, reading news etc, ditto listening to radio and viewing TV. And the iPlayer is now providing the type of TV I dreamed about 20 years ago (knocking spots off ITV's offering) and, of course, get_iplayer is an invaluable bolt-on. I do think the loophole that allows viewers to watch TV output online (as long as it's not live) does need to be plugged. I'm more than happy to pay the licence fee and would hate any move towards subscriptions fees whether it's for TV or iPlayer access, equally I would be against any move to make any of the BBC channels to carry commercials. Alan Agreed, fortunately without having had to experience being abroad without the BBC. The crucial point I was trying to make in the context of this list was and is how does the bbc plug what they perceive as the iPlayer gap. Its ironic that iPlayer is streets ahead technically of all the other catch up services, particularly ITVs offering, aside from anything about quality content the BBC started the whole thing and have made it work.
