I think that you mean C:\Documents and Settings\Shiner/.get_iplayer/download_history (and it works for individual programmes (particularly when due to timing issues, I get a low quality version of a radio show). Setting 'force' in the PVR options as I described (or using --force on the

Re: How do I make GiP re-record a program i've already recorded?

Do you, by any chance, know of a command line to use to reset / purge that download history file from time to time, as a quick browse of the 'long help did not in fact yield anything helpful for me in that respect... As far as I know there is no option to control the size of that file from

Re: Mixed Results

I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to diagnose and correct this behaviour. It looks as if you may have been hit by the problem of colons (special characters) in the filename. I suspect you're using the 'whitespace' option to replace the underscores with spaces in filenames. Under

Re: Problem with Series

That's the correct value. nameshort just strips out Series XXX strings, otherwise leaves name alone. I'm getting too old to learn yet another language, otherwise I might have spotted that one! :^) Regards John ___ get_iplayer mailing list

Re: File Naming

That only happens with --whitespace because of the colon (one of the troublesome characters I referred to) in the name, not because of the presence of white space. The colon is the NTFS stream operator, so if it isn't removed your download goes into the black hole of an alternate data

Re: File Naming

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

Re: File Naming

I'm running GiP on a netbook with Windows 7 Starter quite successfully, but I want to change the format of the filename so that it more closely resembles that used by the late Radio Downloader, which I had used for some years. I am very grateful to those who offer advice, and maintain and

Re: File Naming

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

There *is* an option to force a recording on the PVR, although it's not immediately visible on the initial screen. - There are 5 tabs starting with 'Advanced search' in dark red with four more in dark grey to the right of it just below the top menu bar on the PVR screen. Click the 'Recording' tab

Re: WebPVR - force option??

Using the Windows WebPVM is there a way of forcing a second attempt say to download a failed file please? I really really don't want to have to start editing the history file in order to try again with a download!! Thanks - CJB. See my just-posted reply to your other (very long) posting

Re: Massive Failures

I practically never use the WebPVR, last time was probably more than a year ago and again for performing some tests. As such, I haven't bothered to update it and my setup has version 0.72 (!) that must have come with GiP 2.80 or earlier... However, as a test I did try your problematic audio
