user-1607

Hi,
im trying to work out where to add the switch the change the naming format used by get_iplayer from the pvr.  i get that i need to add something like this to the command:
Code:
--file-prefix="<nameshort><-senum><-episodeshort>" --whitespace

the thing is, i cant work out where to add it.  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction please?

To save preferences you have to use the command line version. So to save the command you provided you would open the command line version and enter the following:

Code:
--prefs-add --file-prefix="<nameshort><-senum><-episodeshort>" --whitespace

This will rename all downloaded files to the stated scheme .
