Hi Dave
I originally downloaded all episodes of S02 as soon as they were made
available (I couldn't wait until all episodes were broadcast!) and I've
just checked and redownloaded episode 5 without any problems using the
PID/URL, which is the only route open to you until the programme is
aired. Downloading is not possible using the programme name until then.
I'm on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, originally downloaded the episode using
v3.0.1 and redownloaded just now using v3.0.2 (following the upgrade at
the weekend). As for your version of ffmpeg, that won't affect the
download itself. I don't know just how slow your connection is but I do
recall reading a thread on the support forum saying that if you have a
very slow connection then get_iplayer may not work properly. It could be
worth trying the download outside peak times when the load on the
internet isn't as great. I can't think of any other suggestions right
now, sorry.

Hi
I am having problems downloading the following episode of the Top of the Lake
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p057mnc6/top-of-the-lake-china-girl-5-whos-your-daddy
I have tried by description and the examples below by --pid and --url,
I even tried it with a --force (although it is not in my download
history)
Each time it just comes back to the command prompt with no errors, I
have managed to download episodes 1-4 without problem and currently
downloading episode 6, it plays in iplayer (although very stop start
due to my very slow connection, which is why I use get_iplayer).
I am still using V3.0 on XP with an older copy of ffmpeg.exe but I am
not experiencing problems with any other programs.
Any suggestions welcome.
Regards
Dave
