I have been using get  iPlayer for many years cut and pasting the iPlayer url to the search function and recording it has recently stopped working?

See the thread at: https://forums.squarepenguin.co.uk/thread-1707.html.

In the meantime you can download programs directly using the HTTP URL of the iPlayer page for the show you want:

That what I have always done but does not work now
Sorry I misunderstood you are saying I can download within iplayer OK
Will get_iplayer be updated at some time to allow me to record from it?

You said you were searching. The '--get --url' option does not search, it just downloads the program at the given url. It's working for me. If you provide the exact command line you are using, I can try it.

Within search i paste this or any url from Iplayer into quick URL press record and nothing

On pid works until Dink releases the pvr fix soon. Read the forum!

Pid works as below

get_iplayer.cmd --type=radio --pid=b09vzyd5

Firstly, I'm no expert with MS Windows

Assuming you are running a recent version of Microsoft windows and you have installed get_iplayer in its default location

I advise you to read the get_iplayer wiki, all is explained in terms that anyone can understand.

For 64bit windows the location is
c:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer

for 32bit windows the location is
c:\Program Files \get_iplayer

Open a command prompt  Windows+R  enter CMD and press ENTER
copy and paste the commands below

For 64bit windows
cd /d "%programfiles(x86)%\get_iplayer"

or
For 32bit windows
cd /d "%programfiles%\get_iplayer"

Do NOT work in the installation directory. Just open a command prompt and start typing commands.

I don't have the GIP directory in my path.
In future I'll try and let you answer the question or refer them to the wiki for a consistent answer ;)

Don't be reticent, but since you are not using a supported configuration, be aware of the differences. Virtually every Windows user will have used the provided installer, and that's the only thing we support.

fair point, well made.
