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

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;

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.
