Re: OT yt-dlp and Python snag
If you liked Fortran, then you should have tried PASCAL. Sure it needed some extensions but it was simple and it was very hard to write bad code. A very good contractor wrote an assembler/OS interface to Pascal for us on a PDP 11 (about 200 lines of code). That allowed us to create a duplexed (failover cluster) production line control system in 1983 written in PASCAL. It also interfaced to some IBM mainframe (harder) and a VAX (any youngsters, that's not the sucky thing, look it up). I can still remember carrying the disk backups on a plane each week with the necessary import and export documentation. Case had special dispensation to be carry on luggage as it was as big as a small suitcase (foam padding) but couldn't go in the hold. Total capacity of that case 2MB! ... but back to PASCAL all my code has a very familiar structure no matter which of the myriad languages I've played with over the years so I know what you mean.

Different versions of Java, Perl, and Python can be a right royal PITA
- seemingly endless updates seem to require anything based on them that
you are using needing programs to be rewritten and/or recompiled.
If you have a genuine need for different versions as opposed to having
arrived with multiple versions merely by happenstance, one possible
workaround is to have some means of determining the default version for
a given shell instance. For example, in Unbuntu 18, I get ...
# which python
/usr/bin/python
# ls -al /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python->python2.7
... and ...
# ls -al /usr/bin/python*
... is also quite instructive, but would be overkill to transcribe in
its entirety here!
This gives the possibility of a given shell instance pointing that link
to whichever version of python that it needs, either directly or via an
environment variable, as it launches ...
# ln -s -f /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
... or ...
# export PYTH_VER=2.7
# ln -s -f /usr/bin/python${PYTH_VER} /usr/bin/python
... however, although I have seen it done this way, I DON'T RECOMMEND
IT, because if you have two shells running simultaneously requiring
different versions of python [the rest of this sentence is left as an
exercise to the programmer]!
Better is to use a different alias within each shell ...
# python --version
Python 2.7.17
# alias python=/usr/bin/python3.6
# python --version
Python 3.6.9
If this works, fine, but if, say, more than one change to the
environment is needed, perhaps because the PATH or LIB variables need to
include the directories for a different versions of Python or some such,
then use an environment variable in all the settings so that between
different shells you have to change only the value of that:
# python --version
Python 3.6.9
# export PYTH_VER=2.7
# alias python=/usr/bin/python${PYTH_VER}
# python --version
Python 2.7.17

Remove that option altogether and use the --raw option instead, and give different --command-radio and --command-tv options to get the two different types into the respective end formats required. This should ensure that each type only gets converted once. Examples: --command-radio "ffmpeg -i '' -c:a copy '.m4a' && del '" --type radio --pid m001jkbm --raw -g --command-tv "ffmpeg -i '' -c:a copy -c:v copy '.mp4' & del '" --type tv --tv-quality sd --pid m001kjpf --raw -g As above, should have read: --command-radio "ffmpeg -i '' -c:a copy '.m4a' && del ''" --type radio --pid m001jkbm --raw -g --command-tv "ffmpeg -i '' -c:a copy -c:v copy '.mp4' & del ''" --type tv --tv-quality sd --pid m001kjpf --raw -g Sorry about that. IMPORTANT! Notes: Firstly, note that unless you want to keep the originally downloaded file as well as the converted file, you have to include a command to delete it, the double ampersand means that the del command only happens if the ffmpeg command didn't produce an error code when making the conversion. The command is for a Windows set up, you'd use rm instead of DEL on a Linux system. Secondly, the above FFMPEG commands are greatly simplified from the original commands that GiP would have fed to FFMPEG without the --mpeg-ts or --raw options being specified, which may be why the video one above corresponding to 2 below gave an avalanche of 'Invalid DTS' messages that don't occur when you let GiP do the job.

I think!... but these days I'm ultra-busy with non-maskable interrupts. My wife now needs 24/7 care due to some falls added to other problems. So when it comes to time, usenet has drawn one of the short straws in recent weeks. I also now have to be nagged by editors when they want an item *now* "You'r holding up the magazine!" [snip] I've also been doing an urgent task - finding a new supplier for decent FF teas, etc. Our old one ceased trading. Sad as their teas were great, and they are nice people. Now found two candidates and doing trial orders. Back on topic... I've got Python 3.7 installed. But as my distro is 'just out of span' Synaptic can't find related packages beyond the ones mentioned earlier. However I suddenly realised that I'd probably messed up in another way as well. Apologies to all if so. I keep having to do things in a rush, which amplifies my usual state of muddle. I'd first tried to use -U to update yt-dip on a machine where it had been OK, but now fails due - I suspect - to YT moving their deckchairs. The new version there also failed. *That* machine, though runs an even older distro, so I decided to try my newer one. But probably fouled up by simply copying across the updated yt-dlp and latterly installing the Python 3.7. Instead, when I can find time I'll now do the standard install approach for yt-dlp from the net. That may then sort out things I didn't do, or did wrong. But there is no hurry. As usual, I'm doing this for some test reasons similar to those reported on https://www.audiomisc.co.uk/YouTube/SpotTheDifference.html Say more about that if I ever get somewhere... :-) However, progress is sloower than it used to be as I can't get as much time for things like this as I was.

Perhaps keep the file as *.ts until you've finished editing it, then convert it to something more mainstream such as *.mp4. The problem with *.mp4 is that it can be very difficult to edit accurately, as each 'packet' of video can be several seconds long, and you can't easily edit within a packet, only at packet boundaries, so keeping it as *.ts until its final version would make sense. Note: I suspect 'packet' is the wrong word there, but I can't remember the correct terminology.

I can't recall when I installed the distro offhand, but it has just gone out of active support. It is Mint xfce. I assume the synaptic version of Python found would have been kept up, hence the 3.7 being present I guess. Note I'm posting here using a totally different RISC OS machine. I suspect that I need to install one (at least) of the other Python 3.7 items synaptic list. But since I know zip about Python I have no idea which one(s)! So - not finding the contextvars module - yt-dlt tries what is present, then throws the objection to it. Just my guess, though.

What does this do on the WebPVR page? Sometimes GIP doesn't find programmes and so it'd be handy to just stick the iplayer URL or PID into the UI and have it download, and so I guessed Quick URL might do this, but it appears to do nothing. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

The search term 'licence' gets no hits anywhere in the long help output
of the v3.30 script.
Further, if you search the script for 'nowarntvlicence', you find only
two hits in the following section beginning at line 3,722 (email

What this seems to indicate is that the script author was allowing for
some mechanism to exist for not displaying the message, but didn't
actually get so far as implementing it fully, otherwise the string would
also appear earlier in the script where the command-line parameters and
preferences files are read.
Thus I guess you'd have to add the missing coding yourself to implement it.

I run GiP on a Ubuntu server and for both radio and tv programmes they download into a folder of the name GiP_Downloads/radio or GiP_Downloads/tv (as appropriate [they're on separate raid drives]) and then some code runs to convert radio progs into MP3 and generate a .nfo file for use by LibreElec which runs on a Pi which resides in my lounge. For tv progs, it also generates a .hmi file for use by a Humax machine. But both types are then moved into GiP_Downloads/radio_downloads or tv_downloads. Films are moved from the GiP_Downloads/tv folder and saved on a third mount on the Ubuntu box but I do that with a preset and so your suggestion sounds like something I could do with another preset somehow. Not clear at this stage quite how I would do it but I think your idea about renaming sounds workable. I might even call it monthname to make it clear to me in the future what it does ;-) Thanks for the ideas. -- __ __| |_ __ __ .. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:cdw_pcm...@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ || ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Ralph As a Grumpy old man one of my pet hates are these contact forms, especially when you are trying to help or if its technical you've already tried most things before you "write in". That said, working in IT service I've seen the garbage that can come in on an internal service desk. So on a public facing one trying to qualify the issue and get people to self help really does focus the resource where it is actually needed. Hopefully that doesn't mean they then reduce the resource, but it's the real world we live in. On 26/09/2022 09:28, Ralph Corderoy wrote: Hi Mark, It's probably a ‘Beeb problem’, as you say.

I notice that https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001b8js/beechgrove-2022-episode-20 says ‘We have removed the feature on the spindle bush which can be harmful to dogs if consumed in quantity. We do not advise planting in an area that is accessed by dogs who are unsupervised.’ Perhaps the editing of the programme means the normal ‘iplayer’ version of the subtitles, which is the only remaining version in the default list for which a check is done, isn't available but some other version is, one which isn't in get_iplayer's list of versions. Though if I play the programme on the iPlayer site, no subtitles appear and I don't see a way to turn them on but then playing in the browser is not normally something I do.

Re: widely varying download sizes
GiP can help with reducing output bitrate but this is achieved by using a custom command for ffmpeg (either on the command line or embedded in the appropriate preset) We've found the following ffmpeg flags help considerably:- -> Reduce frame rate by half using: -r 25 https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/ChangingFrameRate -> Reduce the output bit rate using combo's of: -b:v -minrate -maxrate -bufsize https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Limiting%20the%20output%20bitrate The first suggestion will easily result in an appreciable reduction in output size for a modest hit on encode times. The second can help further but comes with significant computational overhead (i.e. time) as well as producing a subjectively better/worse result. This means some experimentation! To find out, try ffmpeg on the command line with short stretches of video (~10-15mins) to see how different material performs - there will be different results for natural, studio, film, live & CGI material. How to implement custom ffmpeg command is given in the github wiki. HTH On 20/09/2022 16:29, D Martin wrote: Hi all. Neither a newbie nor an expert here, so I feel the need to ask all you experts ...

Re: Remux TV Progs to Matroska Video .mkv
Be careful. As others have said mp4 and mkv are container formats and this is what is associated with the extension. It's more important in the what can play the video decision. The compression (or not) comes from the codec, but again some codecs can do both compressed (lossy ) and uncompressed (lossless) Note also just to confuse folk, there is an MPEG4 codec, which I thought for a while was what mp4 used. Unfortunately none of this is simple and ultimately the only way I found to settle on what I wanted for my video collection was try a number of containers and compressions and evaluate which gave me the best overall result over many different types of film and tv program. (Plus side that took a few weeks with bottles of wine and the better half helping evaluate the results...) Then it was the case of what simplified the various sourcing processes and finally - compromise, which I think is where you're at here. To be honest, with the number of streaming services around these days I'm more selective and don't keep as many broadcast items as I used to. - It costs me less to subscribe to 3 or 4 services than it does to build and run a file server for a 10 year period. The added advantage is that many of the things I recorded in 1080 x 720 or whatever are now streamable in full HD and even with the bitrate that comes down the line to me it's better than my 10 year old recordings.

Is this possible and if so how This may not be the best approach but it's where I would start. Assuming your download_history file has captured all of your downloaded IOT files, and again, assuming you're on linux as I have no idea how to do this on Windows, I would do this :- grep 'In Our Time' ~/.get_iplayer/Download_history to produce a list of programmes for your chosen search criteria. The first 8 characters comprise the pid. If I had better programming skills! I could exclude everything except the pid. Then do a for loop around that list 'get_iplayer --info '$pid and then extract the category or whatever else it is you want. I trust somebody else will now come along and polish the concoction that I've produced ;-) -- __ __| |_ __ __ .. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:cdw_pcm...@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ || ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Re: Curating "In Our Time" (IOT) downloads.
Couldn't find the current episodes on iplayer so not sure if they have these categories available, but that will be limited anyway. Tried IMDB - they have an episode list but no info other than title Tried the tvdb, but unsurprisingly not there. Wikipedia provides a list however with a lot of info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_In_Our_Time_programmes Not your categories tho, so it would be a manual exercise to import the list into a spreadsheet and add a category column, wouldn't think it would take more than an hour with this info as you know how you want to categorise them. Then use the titles and categories from that list with some awk/sed wizardry (or other renaming program if you have one) to effect the changes to the filenames. I'm assuming that you aren't Windows but if you are, have a look at "advanced renamer", there may be an extension to extract info from the relevant audio files and if you're lucky then the category is in there but hidden. Takes a couple of hours to wrap your head around the advanced options and test, but I have used this for my photography files for years as I prefer the primary info to be in the file name. I still use other tools to organise but... Once you've done it, consider uploading to the Wiki or IMDB. Good luck.

Or perhaps place them in a temporary "probably religion" folder and cast an eye over their subjects so that you aren't misled by subjects like "waiting for godot". If your files don't have subject detail in them, is there not a way to use g_ip to list available files without downloading them - that might give you long lists of prior and recent podcasts/programme details. They might already be listed in your programme title caches and those you did download in the download history files. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Curating "In Our Time" (IOT) downloads.
I have been listening to IOT for years and have these downloads saved for use locally. Through time the BBC have delivered these programmes in slightly different formats and I believe they are now also available from an archive as podcasts, but I already have my own archive, albeit in various formats. My problem is that in the beginning the downloads were filtered, I think by BBC but possibly by my filters long ago, into five categories according to subject. The categories were Culture, History, Philosophy, Religion and Science. This seems to have stopped around 2012, possible due to BBC format changes and since then they have all been saved in my system as "Unsorted" and for a while these were also numbered but are no longer, possibly due to changes in my own GiP setup over the years. I am reluctant to download them all again so am posting a request for help please to curate these files and sort the unsorted programmes into the original categories. Is this possible and if so how please? All help much appreciated as it has been a while since I worked on GiP.

Hi Sharon, > then issue the following command 'get_iplayer -g 33840' & onwards, but > no matter what I do the end of the list shows up as '>' and doesn't > allow me to download anything at all! My hunch... One of the parameters you have entered has a single quote, ‘'’, and that starts a quoted string which can cross the end of the first line into subsequent lines. The normal shell's prompt of ‘$’ changes to ‘>’ to show this line is a continuation of the previous one. $ echo foo foo $ echo foo'bar > xyzzy' foobar xyzzy $ Remove the quoting behaviour of the single quote by prefixing it with a backslash, ‘\’, which is an ‘escape hatch’ for proving a literal quote despite its special meaning. This is known as ‘escaping’, e.g. ‘escape the ' with a \’. -- Cheers, Ralph. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Re: Glastonbury results
"Wombledumb" also seems to have had an impact yesterday on other programmes going AWOL.
