get_iplayer forums

Hi,

The following link fails on 2.8.3. with win xp.. where
This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 2 (v5.16.2) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

Code:
C:\Program Files\get_iplayer>perl.exe get_iplayer.pl "http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ej58q9/acts/ab8hzc#p01c4mrg"

WARNING: No programmes are available for this pid with version(s): default

So, I uninstalled latest, and put in 4.5 and the above still fails with ..
This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

On both versions, I used git versions SHA-1: ff6b5778d784e3f4eedfe416a4036410dfd275a6 (24.08.2013)
of get_iplayer.pl and get_iplayer.cgi

Any ideas ?

get_iplayer doesn't understand clip URLs in that format. Take the clip's PID off the end and use:

Code:
get_iplayer --pid p01c4mrg

Thanks. that did the trick :)
