Should get_iplayer work on windows 10?

[Graham Temple (gmail)]

Hello Vangelis

Thanks for your helpful response.

This was a clean install in fact a new Microsoft Surface Pro supplied with
it already installed (updates run as well).

I use google chrome same as on my windows 7 machine.

I will spend some time with the possible solutions from squarepenguin
tomorrow (out all day today on business - just leaving London to drive 3
hours home now!) but I can tell you I had tried the CLI method already - no
good.  I do believe it is possibly something to do with an internet
protection filtering system installed on the machine but I had the same one
on the old machine (same version - it regularly updates) so it is a bit odd.
In answer to the question " Does
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03kky9f.xml load OK in the browser used for
the WebPVR? The answer is no as the BBC site is blocked (apart from news) by
the web filter but that was also the case on my old laptop and it all worked
fine there.  The working get_iplayer was particularly useful because the
filter blocked direct access or use of bbc's own iplayer.

I will try the permissions checks in the morning.  What parsing and perls
are is a bit beyond me at the moment although I get the drift.  How that
could be cured?

Thanks again.

Hello Graham - I am afraid I can't offer real help, but:

Was this a clean Windows 10 installation or an OS upgrade from
7SP1/8/8.1/8.1u1 ? Is it x86 or x64 architecture?

Do you use the WebPVR Manager on Edge, Internet Explorer 11 or in some other
browser?

GiP "should" run OK in Win10, but some known "errors"
have been posted in the support forum:

Have you tried to download via CLI?

get-iplayer --pid=p03kky9f  --modes=best

This is obviously perl related - a
module responsible for the parsing fails.
It could be a permissions issue - try

Do you run GiP from the same user account it was installed with and does
this belong to the Admins Group?
As dinky hinted, some protection software may inhibit one or more DLLs
needed for that failing perl module...

As said, my questions/suggestions are
mainly food-for-thought. You are obviously in a hurry, so I'd urge you to
subscribe and seek further assistance in the forum:

https://squarepenguin.co.uk/forums/forum-6.html

Dinky (the code maintainer) posts there uniquely, if you are lucky, he could
figure out a solution for you in time...

Best regards
