Since this morning my PVR scheduler downloads have failed

exclude series 1
fields name

output F:\Media\Television\
subtitles 0
thumb 0

when the scheduler runs it returns this

however if I do it manually using the id number


Code:
get_iplayer --get 1608 --type=tv --tvmode=flashaudio,good,hvfstd2 --output=F:\Media\Television\
it works

originally my pvr did not include the HVFstd2 option but after seeing it selected with the  id number command I added it to the PVR, but as you see it does not pick it up when the scheduler runs.

it also happened with a couple of other TV programs that were working yesterday

Works fine here. You don't need hvfstd2 in --modes, and comparing with download by index doesn't really help since it bypasses the PVR function. You haven't provided enough information for diagnosis, so if you want to proceed further, follow our instructions and use --pvr-single to test only the pvr job that isn't working.

I found the problem, I had set the

Code:
tvmode dashgood

for some reason in the options file

I changed it to

Code:
tvmode good


and it now works
