I am using:

Code:
get_iplayer.cmd --search dontshowanymatches  --pid b04xmqdd

This produces:

I just downloaded and installed (using the default settings) from here a few minutes ago:

My mistake, I simply did as the error message suggested and specified --modes=flashaaclow, which worked.

I must say, it's rather unpredictable which modes will work - is the idea just that the user iterates through all the suggestions until one works?

It's predictable if you use the correct command. Read the radio guide on this site and you will see what is missing. And don't use
Code:
--search
with
Code:
--pid
- it will be ignored.
