OK, thanks to Howard and yourself for the help.

I'll add the --versions=open to my default command string unless someone points out a drawback when the file fetch doesn't need it.

Re: Peter Grimes
I'll add the --versions=open to my default command string unless someone points out a drawback when the file fetch doesn't need it. Don't use --versions=open as a default command as a lot of programmes won't have an open version to fetch so the download will fail. If you do have this problem again, the best thing to do is run --info on the programme and that will then tell you what is available. You can then tell gip what to download. There are a number of possible versions you might find available like original, open, iPlayer, shortened, lengthened, and there's more so it's impossible to guess what will be available when a programme fails. Gip usually takes the longest version it finds available to use as the default download option and it normally does this automatically without any extra commands. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

There's a DVD available in Glyndebourne's online shop if that's any help. Yes. Thanks. However I must admit my interest in commercial DVD for classical music dwindled when the lazy media companies largely stopped releasing 'pal' sic format and adopted a single-format blanket 'ntsc' sic again approach, reducing even more the resolution. Crazy situation when even *European* concerts and operas became available only as 'ntsc' when they'd been broadcast initially as 'pal'. In some cases I watched the 'pal' versions evaporate from catalogues as the companies ceased to re-press copies because they didn't want the bother of 'double inventory'. So I tended to get out of the habit, but I'll have a look. FWIW I captured the HDTV broadcast from DVB-T2, but missed the first few mins. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a repeat. That'd also be useful as a DVB-T2 vs iplayer comparison. BTW The Peter Grimes has 'enforced' subtitiles so I wonder if this was what prompted the need for the metadata switch. I've not checked the file details, but also am wondering if I can switch off the subtitles.

I've not checked the file details, but also am wondering if I can switch off the subtitles. The download problem is linked to this issue https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/157 which has now been fixed for the next release of GiP. The subtitles are recorded into the video so cannot be removed. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
