There seems to be something different about this I am unable to download this program
I tend to cut and paste various strings from notepad++ with just the pid appended and this is the first program that I've had problems with. This is the output which carries on for all modes

1) Check to see if this file exists on your c drive . If it does, delete it and retry your download.

If that doesn't work...

2) What is the exact command you are using please?

3) Re-run your command while appending to it, then stick the resulting output in a text file and upload it as an attachment here so we can see.

The problem is that Windows is stripping the trailing ellipsis, so the output subdirectory is rather than the expected . Add to your command line for this particular programme and then relocate the file after download. I'll update get_iplayer to replace the trailing ellipsis (already does leading ellipsis) and bump this thread when done.

Oooh, good spot. I assumed those were added in the output somehow. Never assume, never never assume!

That was quick! I tried simplifying the command, but clearly removed the wrong bits.


I've dropped the --subdir as suggested and it's worked except the mp4 retained the temp name.

Cheers, Gents.

I've pasted an extra --get in there by mistake :o

Not sure that is even possible. What was the final name of the file?

get_iplayer is now updated to remove trailing ellipsis. You'll probably never need to do it again, but if you want to try it out see:

The file name was something like the disappeared instead for some reason. It's never happened before and didn't happen again after retrying on
Cheers, again. I should be able to wget that direct on my router.

That indicates the metadata tagging was aborted for some reason. That happens very rarely, usually only when get_iplayer output directory is on a NAS. Best to just draw a veil over that.
