get_iplayer forums

I can't presently record Master Rock: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06hyyt1

The string I am using is:-

Code:
get_iplayer --g --type=radio --url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05stl7n --pid-recursive

The output I get is:-

get_iplayer Output:

INFO: 1 Matching Programmes

WARNING: The 'default' programme version could not be determined

WARNING: No programme versions found

WARNING: You may receive this message if you are using get_iplayer outside the UK

I have tried various workrounds including:

--version-list=default
--modes=best
--versionlist=default,open

Any suggestions?

You should check the URL you're using on the iPlayer site first. You're trying to recursively download via the episode page for a non-existent programme, which makes no sense on two levels. Options for version and mode have nothing to do with it. Just use the URL of the episode you actually want to download. If you insist on recursive download, you have to use the URL of the series home page.

Many thanks.

I have managed to download it now with this string:-

Code:
get_iplayer --g --type=radio --url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/b06hyyt1

I was struggling a bit with this content to differentiate the page PID and the content PID.
