Transcoding step failing version 2.96

user-1388

Hello all, this is apparently a support question, not a bug.

I'm using 2.96 on a raspberry pi, if I use this command:

Code:
get_iplayer -g 5275

It downloads, but fails to encode because it seems like FFMPEG is not getting the -i parameter...

Code:
INFO: Begin converting file: The_Return_of_Flying_Scotsman_-__b073c7r0_original.partial.mp4.ts
At least one input file must be specified
INFO: Command exit code 1 (raw code = 256)


If, instead I do this (to get a raw file and encode manually):

Code:
get_iplayer -g 5275 --raw

ffmpeg -i The_Return_of_Flying_Scotsman_-__b073c7r0_original.partial.mp4.ts -strict experimental Flying-Scotsman.mp4

It works just fine, I get the MP4 video.
