Can't download with GiP 3.00

2017-05-04 Thread Chris Marriott
Dear All, I was successfully using GiP 2.99 on my Windows XP machine but, on the advice of people here, upgraded to 3.00 because I stopped being able to download programmes in "hlsstd" mode. Unfortunately, things have gone from bad to worse as a result of upgrading. Not only is "hlsstd" mode s

Just want to say thank you. Downloaded the zip arcive, unpacked the script, copied to the right place on my media server Raspberry Pi and fired off my PVR script. It "just worked" and collected a couple of programmes. The only fuss was a request to remove redundant rtmdump references in my opti

Hi Chris At the moment there are a lot of programmes appearing with missing segments on hls modes. Which modes it affects is random. At least with Masterchef you found that it failed right at the beginning on segment 1, but you could easily find that with some programmes you get half way through

Thanks, tellyadict. "hvfxstd" is slightly smaller than "hlshd" (870MB v. 1GB), but I really wish I could download 340MB versions as I used to do. Unfortunately the availability of low-res versions of programmes seems to be getting more and more restricted. I found one mode which gave me a 340MB

That's my fault. I was looking at the mode you had tried for Masterchef rather than the mode I knew you were after. What you actually want is hvfxhigh which should be the sort of size and quality you are used to. The dvf modes download as 2 separate files (audio + video) and then use ffmpeg to

Thank you - "hvfxhigh" is exactly what I was looking for! That's given me a 390MB file for "MasterChef", compared to 810MB for "hvfxsd" and 1GB for "hlshd". I'll use that as my default mode from now on. Having read an earlier post, I did actually replace "ffmpeg" with the version from 2.99 aft

I hope that signature is gone. Let me know if not. Here's an example of not working with pidrecursive in options file and then working after removal. "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer>get_iplayer --prefs-add --pid-recursive INFO: Added option 'pidrecursive' = '1' INFO: Options file C:\Users\n6t

Thanks. That means it's a "feature", I guess. It's not a big deal, I can always add --pid-recursive if I'm getting a series. But up through 2.99, having it in my options file was more convenient than adding it on a case-by-case basis. And that's not a postcode, it's my callsign. And why not put
