Hi, Jon 

 I do not want to step in your shoes in the slightest, 
you are doing an absolutely sterling job with 
GiP with your PPA (BTW thanks for hosting 
win32 AP binaries!), but may I also suggest that 
the OP produces a verbose log of a video download 
which should help significantly in troubleshooting, e.g. 

get_iplayer --pid=p041c2rv -v > verbose_log.txt 2>&1

(test video of only 5min in duration)

GiP 2.95 now by default records in hlshd tvmode, 
video file is indeed recorded first as .ts (MPEG-TS 
container, as being the result of HLS dump), but is 
subsequently remuxed to the MP4 container (.mp4 
file) via FFmpeg/avconv so it can be tagged by AP. 
Maybe the OP has something gone awry with his 
FFmeg/avconv (depending on OS/distro) configuration 
that is hindering the final remux to MP4, thus 
leaving him with un-remuxed .ts files.
As I am clueless in non-Windows, you should be able 
to assist him further in possibly fixing it...

Best regards, 
Vangelis.
