Cannot download - script stops with error message

user-931

Thanks for the post "THE BBC HAS BLOWN UP TV LISTING FEEDS (WITH WORKAROUND)" and I promise I've read it! It worked to give me some sort of feed list, but I can't download. I tried all of these:

Code:
get_iplayer -g 2326
get_iplayer --pid=b05xgcnh
get_iplayer --url http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05xgcnh/nick-helms-heavy-entertainment-5-fame



But in each case the result was identical. The script stopped, throwing the following error:

Code:
Not a SCALAR reference at /usr/bin/get_iplayer line 7119.

Hi

I had the same problem here. After some searching I got to this article https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/152 . Adding the
Code:
--exclude-supplier=akamai
option did the trick for me.

Hope it helps!
