Just a couple of questions related to raw (radio) output from get_iplayer:

I noticed that the "--stream" option is listed as deprecated. Is there another way to pipe to stdout?
Is ffmpeg essential even when using the "--raw" option?  Get_iplayer complains if it's not there.

thanks! -Tim

Once the --stream option is removed, no.

No. You can ignore the warning message.

EDIT: unnecessary ffmpeg warnings removed in development version

Thanks for the reply. That's a shame about --stream. Can I register a vote for its reinstatement?
Regarding ffmpeg: get_iplayer quits if it doesn't detect a valid ffmpeg binary (a dummy file doesn't seem to satisfy it).

Only with --stream. No choice in that case.

EDIT: A dummy file is no good since get_iplayer will think it can be executed (which will fail in all cases).

OK. Thanks for the info, and for get_iplayer!
