I'm running get_iplayer 3.07.0 from a Windows 7 command prompt.
I'm probably being very stupid and missing something obvious, but how do I negate the --metadata option that is stored in my preferences for a one-off get_iplayer download or in a preset? (I usually like to download the metadata xml, which is why it's in my preferences.)
First, my relevant preferences entry:
Now, as an example, I'll try setting up a preset called nometa to use when I don't want metadata downloaded. For this attempt I use the obvious (to me) option --no-metadata
But, as you can see, this adds a negated --metadata-only option instead of a negated --metadata option:
Next, I tried manually creating the preset:
Which creates the nometa preset file with the following content.
Which get_iplayer accepts:
Unfortunately, this doesn't work either as the third from bottom line of output from the following 10s download of a radio programme shows.
(The thumbnail is downloaded because I have the --thumb option in my preferences.)
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks.
