Should get_iplayer work on windows 10?

[Graham Temple (gmail)]

I think so but even a "new" record doesn't work so don't think it can be an
options mismatch on PVR records.  I will transfer that file as well and try
again.

You said in your original post that you had transferred your history and pvr
files.

Have you also transferred your options file? (from C:\Documents and
Settings\$User$\.get_iplayer). Depending on the contents of your pvr files,
there could be a mis-match between the options file and the pvr files unless
the file/folder structure is identical.

But you say that the CLI also failed, so I don't know if that is the problem
after all.

I did initially have a problem on a new Windows 10 PC, but I uninstalled
from the originally installed account, and re-installed from the account I
had created and all worked fine.

If it's not too problematical, perhaps you could try doing something
similar, test that the "vanilla" install works, then gradually change the
files to the transferred ones.

Does that make sense?
