Video test: pid=b04kn3vp ("Click - 27/09/2014")

get_iplayer -i --pid=b04kn3vp --modes=flashvhigh --force

The command prompt window stalls for 25-30s after the line:
"INFO: pid not found in tv cache"
but eventually the download starts and completes:

INFO: Recorded D:\Vangelis\iPlayer 
Recordings\Click_-_27_09_2014_b04kn3vp_defaul
t.mp4

INFO: Downloaded Thumbnail to 'D:\Vangelis\iPlayer

Radio test: pid=b04k6rgy ("The Chris Evans Breakfast Show - 01/10/2014")

get_iplayer --type=radio -i --pid=b04k6rgy --modes=flashaac --force --tag-podcast-radio

Programme is in the radio cache (?), so the download starts quite soon;

ERROR: Thumbnail Download failed

But as you are able to see for yourself, THUMBNAIL DOWNLOAD FAILS
and hence AtomicParsley produces an M4A file without an embedded "cover".
This is, of course, no big deal, but since for video files thumbnails are 
downloaded,
it'd be nice to "fine-tune"  the code a bit more so that the same happens 
for audio, too.

Many thanks for your devotion to GiP,
Vangelis.
