Hi Alan,

Thanks for your help, I have finally got it working again! When I went to the 'iplayer folder' there was no file called options so I deleted the lot, uninstalled the entire program, reinstalled and now it works! I used the command you provided- ('get_iplayer --modes=best --pid=********') so would recommend this to anyone who is having similar issues!

Thanks for your assistance

Cheers
Lewis
