Original Drama Shorts - 2015: 1. Is This Thing On?

user-979

Hi
Trying to get the following
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02...s-thing-on
But not working for me
Tried get_iplayer drama and get_iplayer drama
Also pid=p02w4ccv
And doing the url, they all fail
Any ideas
Thanks

Are these the exact command you are using?

Have you read the TV download guide? It gives you exact examples of what commands to use and how to write them.

I only abbreviated for the email
So for example tried this
get_iplayer --pid=p02w4ccv --mode=flashvhigh --get --no-artwork --tag-fulltitle --metadata=xbmc
and
get_iplayer  --pid=po2w4ccv –info
get_iplayer drama
all return 0 matching programs
Ok !
get_iplayer  --pid=po2w4ccv –info
returns a pid of p02w4cft
but that still does not work ?

Odd just re-done
get_iplayer –pid=p02w4ccv --mode=flashhd --get
and it’s now working, did try for about half hr, before i posted.
Still thank for replying, all ok now.

That's because you were using O's instead of zeroes in the PID. The commands you posted with the correct PID work fine.

Also, web-only programmes must be downloaded with --pid. See the latest release notes. Searching for "drama" won't work in this case

user-979

The "o" was just a typo, I did check i did "0" in command line
but thanks for the info on web programs, think that was were i was going wrong orginaly, so thanks for that pointer.

Also in your command you used --mode= which should be --modes= which may have caused problems

user-2

--mode is OK, but --get is ignored with --pid

Thanks to all for your help - appreciated
