Is there an easy no-podcast option?

Hi wonder worker anonymous!

Recent radio programme pages have added a download podcast after the flash player interface.
For example: A History of Ideas
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b063dcgg


I like to capture what was actually broadcast (better credits are given) - i.e the flash version.
Is there a way to prevent podcast being downloaded - even if the flash version is not currently
available?

Yours with affection

Use --versions=original

That seems to work

Thanks!

Very useful this option. Thanks for posting this!

Would this work together with this configuration for radio programmes?
--modes=hlsbest

Yes, so long as an HLS stream is available for the given radio programme (there should be).

Thanks for that Dinky!

I'll have a look at it again and try to rule out other factors. For some reason, some of the many Radio 4 programmes, I regularly download via the PVR, seem to get lost when using this HLS option.

There may be individual programmes that aren't available via HLS, or don't have a version labelled "original".  Use --info to see what versions and modes are available for a particular programme.
