hi

i am trying to use the --start and --stop options on get_iplayer - to cut a section out of radio programme.
what i am doing wrong?

get_iplayer --type=radio --pid b04md54k --start "0:17:06" --stop "0:21:54" --aactomp3 --force

worked good on the one below
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04md54k --start "00:34:35" --aactomp3 --force

Hi Mark,
Nearly there but you need to convert the start and stop times into seconds. Try It's easier to work out in whole minutes so that is a 5 min section.

thanx , how are the numbers worked out? for --start and --stop

The numbers are worked out from the start of the programme.

The example above instructs recording to commence 1020 seconds (17 minutes) after the programme starts.
