Pardon my extreme ignorance, but what is supposed to happen. I glick on the get_iplayer icon and I get a white on black list with C:\Program Files\get_iplayer> at the end. I type in the different commands but I always get "___ is not recognized as an internal of external command." What do I do? Okay, I downloaded get_iplayer, I assume successfully.

The fix will be in 1.12 once released. BTW: Were they the only bits of metadata available? OK, Thanks for that - it was a field length bug. The fix will be in 1.12 once released.

However there are some extra characters in there. ie. & at the end of Name ^ at the end of artist % at the end of Album $ at the end of comments. This was on :- INFO: Attempting to Download: Charlie and Lola: Series 2 - This is Actually My Party It's for my son, honest :) Cool. It works.

It may or may not work in iTunes - it only in alpha stage. Let me know if you get any metadata show up... Hi James,

Can you elaborate on this please as I couldn't find anything in the help file or online instructions. Many thanks for this great script. Cheers James Hi Phil

It might be due to the mov file being non-compliant (the first atom was not ftyp before). Please let me know if v1.11 helps. If however yo are referring to the rtmp downloaded mov/mp4 files having probs with MacOSX then let me know...

Also, it is working fine on 64bit openSUSE 11.0 using up-to -date ffmpeg (packman), and needed the boost-devel package to compile rtmpdump One last question: Is there a reason why the downloaded .mov files play fine on linux, but not when I copy them to a Mac (PPC, Quicktime 7.5)?

The authstring given by the BBC server is only valid for a number of seconds. Now, if you use the --subtitles option, the subtitles are downloaded between when the authstring is determined and whent he rtmpdump command starts. If the subtitles download takes too long then the rtmp download fails. I'll try to fix that in v1.11 but try not using --subtitles and see if it helps. Please let me know how you get on.
