Hi

I'm a little wary of posting a request for help when the guidance is so full of passive aggression, but I do need help, so here goes.

When recording programmes, I'm seeing two errors, although the programes are recording and converting to MP4 files.

The errors are Failed to load DASH manifest and 56 / 58 parser error entity nbsp not defined.

I'm using a Windows 10 laptop using Microsoft Edge 42.17134.1.0

I'm running get_iplayer using the web pvr.

Secret Helpers (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0...k-and-beth)  records, but has these errors.

Screenshot of the error shows below, and the log is copied / pasted underneath too.

If I've missed something, I'm sorry, I've given it my best shot!

thanks in advance

andrew

Ah yes, always good to start off a request for help with a passive aggressive insult of your own!

Point of order though - the rules and guides have nothing passive about them. They're as detailed as possible to prevent errors and actually help us help you. Following them prevents unnecessary back and forth trying to solve the issue.

Alas, they've been unsuccessful.

The log file you've attached for instance doesn't help as it is for the exact example command provided in the guide. I'm guessing you copy pasted?

You are in the top 5% of users for having read the guide, so merit point for that, but still a C- for execution :-)

To be specific - you need to substitute --get 123 for the exact download string you are using and then attach the log for that command.

Your screenshot also concerns the downloading of multiple shows, again something specifically asked to avoid in the guide.

Assuming this isn't an issue in the webpvr, to provide a more useful log you'd probably need to use something like the example below:

get_iplayer --pid=b09x4wqc --verbose > C:\Users\%USERNAME%\log.txt 2>&1

That pid is the first one from the screenshot you provided. But, you'll need to actually check the pid yourself to be sure that you're having an issue with downloading that programme. No sense posting a log for a download that's working fine.
