get_iplayer forums

I have got an error message - see below from pid a request. The program number is 821 and this also produces the same message. Tried A-Z search for the program without success. Program is Jungle Green : Borneo.
Any help appreciated. No problems with other programms.

"p02g70hx" is a group PID and it doesn't seem to have metadata with it.

If you just want "Jungle Green : Borneo" use "p00hhrf6" which is the programmes PID. You will also need to add --playlist-metadata to your command for it to download.

Many thanks tvfan - that has worked. I take it that were the programme is within a group like this one was I need to add the --playlist-metadata command at the end.
thanks again

No.

Code:
--playlist-metadata

is a workaround for a bug that affects a few programmes. You can't download from the PID for a group, like the one you posted.

Thanks user-2 for the explanation.

Version 2.92 of get_iplayer was released last night and should fix the bug that meant you needed

Code:
--plsylist-metadata

. You should update to the latest version.

Thanks TVfan for the headsup. Have updated.

Running 2.92 and alls well excepting the following programme on radio. b03ybwi0.
tried typing playlist-metadata as posted here without success. Any suggestions?
Copy of script attached

Problem has been resolved ---oops ----- mistook an I for an l

The easiest thing to do is copy and paste the PID from the iPlayer site.
