Yes, I just read the help text of those related options and saw the
varying defaults.  `cp1252' is AKA Windows-1252 and I know that's their
extension to ISO 8859-1 so highly likely to be present.  `cp850' I was
unfamiliar with so I guess it got ditched, either by that Windows
version, or Perl's support.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cp850 turns
out to be a predecessor to Windows-1252.

Did you mean hvfhd (720p@50FPS) ?


--pid b007c0ys ... -g


--pid always triggers a fetch (unless --info etc. are used),
so --get (-g) is redundant in this case :-)


Cannot find encoding "cp850" at
C:\Programs\GetIPlayer\get_iplayer.pl
line 323


That line reads:

binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding($opt->{encodingconsoleout})");


From GiP-2.99's longhelp:


--encoding-console-out   Character encoding used to encode search 
results and other output.  Encoding name must be known to Perl Encode 
module.  Default (only if auto-detect fails): Linux/Unix/OSX = UTF-8, 
Windows = cp850


Now, I'm not a perl expert but the above indicate
that your installed Encode perl module should
autodetect your "encodingconsoleout"; if autodetection
fails or encoding is unknown to the module,
then it should default to "cp850".

It appears that senario is now true in your setup;
but "cp850" is still not found (?), hence the error shown...

FWIW, on my setup (WinVistaSP2 x86, en-US locale),
when I generate a debug log with GiP 2.99 I get:

encodingconsolein = cp737
encodingconsoleout = cp737
encodinglocale = cp1253
encodinglocalefs = cp1253

This is with Strawberry Perl 5.24.0.1.

Of course Ralph is a code wizard, so
he could possibly enlighten us further,
but according to --longhelp, "cp1252"
is the value used as a default fallback
when autodetection fails in the cases of
--encoding-locale & --encoding-locale-fs

But a very good one, that fixed it!

I'll add that to my options, but I'm still left wondering what has changed?

Thanks again

Try using `--encoding-console-out cp1252' option at the start of the options.
Only a quick guess;  I don't have Windows.
