Hi, I've been using get_iplayer for some time without any difficulties. Since yesterday I've been unable to record either radio programs or audio described TV programs. I'm using the following strings:
get_iplayer --type=radio --get "drama on 3" --aactomp3
get_iplayer --type=radio --get "afternoon drama" --aactomp3
get_iplayer --get "celebrity masterchef" --versions=audiodescribed
get_iplayer --get "a history of Britain" --versions=audiodescribed
On all of those examples get_iplayer reports that 0 programs are available. I have however, been able to record a non-audiodescribed program eastenders.
Does anyone know what is happening? I've tried on 2 different computers running 2 different versions of get_iplayer and have the same result. I'm presuming there is a problem with the BBC?
Many thanks. The program is excellent and really easy to use with speech software.

ALWAYS check the BBC iPlayer site and their social media feeds if you have a sudden problem. If iPlayer isn't working, get_iplayer can't possibly work.

There are known issues:

Thanks, I didn't even think of checking the Iplayer sight, or searching for potential problems. Will do that in the future. Cheers
