Yes, you can't get the BBC metadata. BUT iplayer Automator still works fine. 

Uncheck "Tag dowloaded files with metadata" and files download just fine, and save properly as far as file names, etc. 

They come into iTunes as Home Movies without pictures or metadata, but, hey, you get the video! it's a simple matter to edit the file with the proper metadata and file it as the proper video type.

Ok there are at least 2 problems with this post.

The first one is that the problems with metadata were resolved just after 5pm today. There is an announcement saying this right at the top of the main forum page. That is probably the reason you are not having any problems now.

The second problem is that this is NOT the right place for Get iPlayer Automator support, comments or discussion. This forum is for get_iplayer.
