So I'm not sure what metadata is exposed to get_iplayer during PID download, but everything I download now comes with tags like this:
Album : BBC iPlayer Feeds
Album/Performer : BBC Radio
Track name : BBC iPlayer Feeds
And has filenames like "BBC_iPlayer_Feeds_-_b04l3clb_default.m4a"
Which makes navigating stuff via my media centre rather tricky. Obviously I can retag/rename everything as I download it, but it would be nice if it could be automated.
Works fine here. Show the full command you're using and show the output from
Code:
get_iplayer --showoptions
. Scrub your username from the output before posting.
The command I'm using is
Code:
get_iplayer --modes=flashaacstd --type=radio --pid=$PID
If I don't use the modes switch then nothing downloads at all.
Code:
get_iplayer --showoptions

Your get_iplayer is obsolete. Move up to 2.87, try again, and we'll take it from there.
For me it's picking up some metadata but not others. For example, the artwork, series number, and comment/description is not being written in the file's tags for this request:
Code:
get_iplayer --url "http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rfqxx"
Oh yeah, that sorted it.
Sorry, should have updated before posting. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
@sloth-dog: As you should have noticed, get_iplayer is broken for the moment. Use
and it will be a bit better, but thumbnail will still be missing.
I'm trying to download the lastest version, but Avast is very insistent that it's infected with Win32:malwaregen and not letting me.
