I use the output folder "C:\iPlayer Recordings" however since the 2.87 update get_iplayer has recorded to it's default "C:\Users\John Dalton\Desktop\iPlayer Recordings".

I have tried several times to change the output folder using --prefs-add and each time it tells me it has changed te folder. I have also edited the options file manually. It still contained "C:\iPlayer Recordings".

Still files are saved to "C:\Users\John Dalton\Desktop\iPlayer Recordings".

Any help or advice would be most welcome.

What is the output of ?
