Using the PID method - how to have consecutive downloads?

user-559

Tks very much for the PID method to download, it works like a dream and is fast, altho i had a steep learning curve as I am not used to DOS commands. Now I managed to get the BBC Radio programmes using the command line

get_iplayer --pid=b04mctvz --type=radio

Questions:

1. is there a command to allow me to download several PIDs in sequence, one after another, in one command line?

2. I could not enter the command using the .cmd files in the get iplayer directory, so i did it the hard way and used the windows command prompt and worked my way down using cd\ to the getplayer directory, and used
C:\program files\get_iplayer\get_iplayer --pid=b04mctvz --type=radio

Can I make a bat file to automate this?

anyway I am just happy as a lark that there is still a solution. Brilliant! thanks so much

btw I am using windows xp

cheers

Hi Al,
You need to update to version 2.90 do download multiple PIDs.

You can then use
Code:
--pid b04nv6kr --pid b04n1wqm
or
Code:
--pid b04nv6kr,b04n1wqm
.
