Is the format of the options file different in Windows and Linux? I am
setting up my machines to dual boot between Windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04.
On my main machine I wanted to copy the history file. I thought while
I was doing that I might as well copy the whole hidden .get_iplayer
directory including the cache and options files. I expected to have to
change the --output option since the path is different, but some of the
options don't work, and others do.
The criterion seems to be that options with a numeric or boolean value
like --subtitles or --expiry work.
Options with a string value like --tvmode, --radiomode or
--ffmpegloglevel don't. For example with --tvmode=hlshd I get
INFO: Downloading tv: 'Collateral: Series 1 - 2. Episode 2 (b09sym6m)
[original]'
) available for this programme with version 'original'
INFO: Available modes:
hlshd,hlsvhigh,hvfhd,hvfsd,hvfxsd,hvfhigh,hvfxhigh,hvfstd,hvflow
When I re-enter --prefs-add --tvmode=hlshd
--ffmpeg-loglevel=info gives an error
INFO: Downloading tv: 'Collateral: Series 1 - 2. Episode 2 (b09sym6m)
[original]'
') - using defaultalue for --ffmpeg-loglevel ('info
If I enter the options again with --prefs-add they work correctly, so it
is no big deal. Any ideas what is happening?
