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.

Picking up audio described TV on get_Iplayer

2019-12-30 Thread Amro Bilal
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
