RE: ffmpeg issue?
Many thanks. No obvious way of finding the version. I inspected the get_iplayer.pl file it was 3.03. I found the problem. Yet again, during installation, perl.exe was locked and the installation of v3.04 had failed. Once that was unlocked, by using IObit Unlocker, the PVR/ffmpeg combination worked and converted the .ts file. Perl.exe is locked again after installing v3.04. Why does perl.exe get locked? All I'm doing is running the installation .exe.

First indicate the version of GiP used; nothing in your post identifies that, my bet is you're still on previous version 3.03, so the rest of my answer is based on that assumption; if it's not true, then please disregard... 2.

For the record, the bug was identified after the following Forum thread: https://squarepenguin.co.uk/forums/thread-1518-newpost.html Code commit that fixed it: https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/bdf3c7eb990e49953aea34f43c e2f378307c959b So, if you're on GiP 3.03, the "simple way to resolve" your issue is to upgrade to 3.04 (!). I have commented about it in the past, but the current workflow in GiP development (issues tracker removed, "contribute" branch only updated publicly after a major stable release) might (and has several times) make the released version more prone to undetected bugs, which rear their ugly heads until after the "master" branch script is let loose... So that's why you should also look at https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/issues some time after a tag release...

ffmpeg issue?

RE: New radio PIDs, more than 8 characters - "solved"
Vangelis , Unlocker only reported "Unlock and Delete Failed" for each of the three files. But it didn't fail because the files were deleted. I have no other diagnostic data. One again many thanks.

You're welcome! I'm glad you're back up and running :-) For the sake of completeness/closure, were you even able to determine (via Unlocker) the process(es) locking those .exe files even after a system reboot? Doesn't make much sense to me... Perhaps an overzealous antimalware suite? Using Unlocker is just a workaround; if you do not discover the root cause of your issue and rectify it, then there's a chance you'll revisit the issue in the next GiP update (?) - are you able now to, e.g., send ffmpeg.exe (temporarily) to the Recycle Bin? Just my 2p, I am not jinxing your future GiP upgrades!

Vangelis, All, Sorry for the Hijack. Reboot didn't help Uninstall and Reboot didn't help iobit-unlocker helped. Clean install is now working. Many, many thanks.

Turns out that something in Windows update may have changed how the PVR runs in Windows. If I set the User Account Control Setting to the minimum the PVR works fine. There are 4 levels of control. Mine are usually left at the default. I guess I'm not the only one who will stumble over this (Sorry if this top-posts or breaks some other rule) Hugh ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
