No .xml - what is work-around?

[YellowYeti]

2.99 still working here, under Ubuntu, for at least one PID.

I use a script to generate the get_iplayer command line as below:

> get_iplayer 
> http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00kjq6h/shock-and-awe-the-story-of-electricity-1-spark 
> --get  --nopurge --fileprefix '<nameshort>-<senum>-<episodeshort>' 
> --output "/media/pvr/" --tvmode best --file-prefix "Shock and Awe: The 
> Story of Electricity, 1. Spark"
