There are a couple of options. I could make the the next rev of the windows installer set fatfilename on by default so that Windows users don't get themselves in trouble with whitespace. I hate to install useless settings by default, though. I could also change get_iplayer to always

You shouldn't need fatfilename just because there is whitespace in a file name. The whitespace option works fine for me without it. You may need/want fatfilename to eliminate other troublesome characters. Radio programs appear to be ok, but here's a tv failure picked at random. It
