Hi Folks, I am trying out Get iPlayer using various functions in the command line.I used the Archers as a sample program for download. However, it seems that you can only download the same program once as I got a message saying that it was already in your download history.
Is it possible therefore to clear the download history. I can't seem to find a file or folder referring to history.
Many thanks for any assistance you can give. Gordon Atkinson On 02/07/2013 07:09 PM, Mike Cassidy wrote:
Ha Ha! I was proved wrong again. Strangely my version defaults to WMA; do I have the latest version?

Since you're downloading mainly speech, then, you should have no worry about losses in transcoding. A quick search for get_iplayer MP3 on google brought me to https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/manpage which has all the options you can use. To make get_iplayer put out an MP3 file, just add --aactomp3 in your command line. For example, if you wanted to get program 12000 in MP3, you would type get_iplayer --get --aactomp3 12000 If you wanted to get all radio programs with the word horse in their names, you would type get_iplayer --get --type=radio --aactomp3 horse Note the usual double dash before the aactomp3 command. Note also that if you're using an iPod or most phones as an MP3 player, m4A should be supported natively. I hope that's of use.

I'm sorry, but I know of no guide to download the programs in MP3 directly. Personally, I have never bothered with this, simply because the files are downloaded in M4A, which is a container for AAC. AAC is what the BBC sends out, and changing one lossy format to another reduces audio quality. In any case, AAC is a better format than MP3 in all things except compatibility, and is supported by the vast majority of players. You can, if you want MP3, use something like CDEX or NCH's Switch application to change the format to MP3. There may also be a way to do this in get_iplayer itself, but I'm not sure how this can be done. Sorry to be a broken reed on this.

Use the Jaws cursor in the command line get_iplayer. You are quite right, Jaws does not properly read the text from the command line, but by using the Jaws cursor to read the screen, you can see what has happened all over the screen. The jaws read-line command will, when using the PC cursor, read you the current line of the screen, so accessing that is not a problem.

Today's Sounds of the 70's downloaded no problem, and all 5 episodes of Poirot downloaded. The first episode of the Poirot series doesn't have Poirot in the title so it wouldn't have been found if I'd used it. I've been playing with this all day today, working out variouscombinationsof commands. I've found that once an episode has downloaded it won't download again unless you add the command --force. It's no where near as convenient as Radio Downloader but at least it works. I've set up a word doc with various combinations of commands so that I can just paste and copy into Get-iplayer, having made any adjustments needed first. Hope this helps.

Let us say I want to get hold of Sounds of the Seventies from Radio 2 for Sunday 2013 06 30, what exactly would I enter in the field where the program being desired is placed? How intelligent is the program? I assume alsoitwill get the latest of any program so, for instance, if I want a programinfive episodes such as one of the series on R4E such as in the crime and thrillers, how accurate do I have to be? I may wish to obtain part 3 broadcast last Wednesday but now, it is Monday morning. A case in point is "Poirot 3 Act Tragedy" which was as shown on the R4E website, if I simply put as above, what, if anything is given? Obviously, the details then go on to say "Episode 3" and on the next line on the website it gives the strapline associated with part 3. Also, the program is first on Wednesday at 6:00, then 13:00, then 20:00andfinally Thursday at 01:00. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
