Don't want the .m4a file

2017-02-08 Thread Chris Walker

This morning I wanted the subtitles only for Thailand: Earth's Tropical Paradise and so set up a pvr-queue request. This is it :- get_iplayer --pvr-queue --pid=b087vgd6 --subtitles-only --force It seems that the --force instruction overrides the --subtitles-only command. Is there any way this can
