Likelihood is that you've done nothing wrong - the parts of the BBC
website that get_iplayer uses to find programmes and download them are
all reporting

"This service is currently undergoing a period of downtime for
essential maintenance. Please be advised that the programme
information service which is currently available at this URL will soon
be replaced by a new service from the BBC, at a new set of URLs.
Please contact the following email address for further information:
'programmes-devel at lists.forge.bbc.co.uk'"

So it won't work at the moment.

Since you use Windows, you could always use the BBC's own iPlayer
Downloads app: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/install

I don't think that was the problem

The last program I successfully downloaded (via command line) has a
timestamp of 13:03 today, 14th February, GMT and my next
attempt at 13:33 failed with:

WARNING: Could not download programme metadata from
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b068fvln.xml
ERROR: Failed to get version pid metadata from iplayer site

Later on, perhaps a couple of hours later, I found that the schedules 
had become
unavailable, as in multiple repeats along the lines of...

WARNING: Failed to download programme schedule http://www.bbc.co.uk/s4c/
programmes/schedules/this_week.xml

Hopefully, when the BBC say 'down for maintenance' they do really mean it
and it will just start working again as it did before. I checked
this list for posts to see how long it was broken for before and was 
surprised it
wasn't longer, it certainly seemed longer at the time.

i know that there are many others thinking exactly what I am thinking
but it shall remain unwritten and unspoken.

nah! don't get it, guess I am of the few

Is it a Windows 10  slag off maybe?

First thing the original poster might try would perhaps be to try another
browser, eg Firefox? Basically Microsoft lost the browser wars I think



20:04 on the 14th GMT, still broken here
