Works OK here.  The "Recording complete" is slightly misleading in that 
is really just signifies that get_iplayer finished, not necessarily that 
it was successful.  I would expect to see some more output in the 
command window if it encountered an error, so that's odd.  The first 
thing to do is try downloading a few more programmes, including radio, 
to establish that it's a general problem.

The next thing to do is to establish if get_iplayer itself is working. 
To perform an exact test,  copy the command (everything after "INFO: 
Win32 Command: " into Notepad (or similar), edit it so that is a single 
line, then paste it at the get_iplayer command and run.

If the above works from the command line, you next move might be to grab 
the latest version of the web pvr (get_iplayer.cgi) from Git.  There is 
a minor change in the code related to direct downloads, but I wouldn't 
expect it to have any impact.  The release 2.82 version still works for 
me, anyway.
