Digitalbanana Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Anyone notice that the great tool for downloading BBC audio and visual files using get_iplayer just got a bit harder to use? I tried it with the PID method and it still works by command line at least. Not the way I like to see things go. https://squarepenguin.co.uk/blog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's all to do with the BBC's change to "Nitro". Should be a fix out within a few days to restore almost all normal functionality to get_iplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJKT2014 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The web version of this now seems very unreliable. I've had more success with the command line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The web version of this now seems very unreliable. In what way? The web PVR works fine for me, though I only use it for radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJKT2014 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I too just download radio shows. If I choose a show on the Web PVR not all of the latest shows (within past 24 hours or more) are displayed, sometimes just older ones. I don't have that problem with the command line prompt. I usually just download from Radio 3 or Radio 6, so not sure on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Have you checked the PVR hold-off period on the recording tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalbanana Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Yes, it was blank but if I changed it to zero made no difference. For e.g. if I select a radio program such as http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00c72y1 which is currently only a few hours old, the web PVR doesn't list it, but lists the older versions (previous day plus older). The command line version however has it listed and can download it. Note- back to original profile ID (from that above) as using another computer to answer, sorry for confusion.

KittenKong Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have the PVR hold-off set to 6 hours because I find that occasionally PIDs are in the cache but are not yet available to download for an hour or three, even via the iPlayer website. I've never actually tried to download them via the command line. Running the PVR a couple of times a day with a 6-hour hold-off seems to do the trick for me. I'm not normally in much of a hurry to get the programmes as I always have many old ones still to listen to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
