Hi all,

I am a real newbie when it comes to all this stuff, but I have been using
get_iplayer 2.79 to record my favourite programmes. I use the simple --get
xxx command and have had no problems until yesterday. Suddenly it doesn't
seem to work anymore. It doesn't matter what programme I try to record the
software responds with output similar to the example below. Any ideas what I
am doing wrong, or have the BBC changed things? I am using Windows XP SP3 if
that's important?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Roy
