This link to BBC R3 Discovering Music (Mahler Resurrection) plays OK in a web browser:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p01yhyl0

When I use the terminal to enter the get command (my routine method) using either the pid (again, my routine method) or the —url= I get the error:

Episodes:
Discovering Music - Mahler: Symphony No. 2 'Resurrection', BBC Radio 3, p01yhyl0
INFO: 1 total programmes

INFO: Downloading radio: 'Discovering Music - Mahler: Symphony No. 2 'Resurrection' (p01yhyl0) [original]'
INFO: No specified recording quality (hlshigh,dashhigh) available for this programme with version 'original'
INFO: Available qualities: std

I normally leave —quality= unspecified, having entered it (along with —-type=radio) into my preferences file. Having got the above error message, I then tried —-info and got:

player:          https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01yhyl0
qualities:       original: std
qualitysizes:    original: std=52MB [estimated sizes]

So tried —quality=std (and also standard) but got the same error message.

Can anyone help me please?

Regards

Clive
