I've used get_iplayer for some time and although there have been the odd problems (always solved) I've got one now I don't understand, hence posting here.

I'm trying to download the following programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07...-episode-3.

As usual, into the command line I type get_iplayer --subtitles "http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07x0mlv/trust-me-im-a-doctor-series-5-episode-3"

and I get:

INFO: 1 matching programmes
INFO: No versions of this programme were selected (available version: signed)

I suspect there's something odd about this one programme since an hour earlier I downloaded another in exactly the same way and it worked fine.

I'm using Win 8.1 and the latest version of get_iplayer.

Any solution would be welcome!

Seems like there's a categorisation error by the beeb as it's telling you that the only version available is a signed version i.e. there's someone standing to the side of the screen literally signing the spoken content for those who are hard of hearing/deaf.

Having just downloaded this version to test there's clearly no signing going on so if you want this programme then just add --versions=signed to your command and it'll download the signing free version for you.

Thanks ever so much! I've just tried your suggestion and I've started the download, so it seems to be working.
It's good to know that the error was neither get_iplayer nor mine.
