Hi
Does anyone know if or how I get the -exclude option to work with pid recursive
I am downloading comedy of the week from the command line.
Using
get_iplayer --pid=p02pc9x6 --pid-recursive  --sortreverse --quality=396p --type=radio --file-prefix="<firstbcastdate> <nameshort> <.senum> <.episodeshort> <.pid> --exclude "Janey Godley,Newsjack" --output "F:\Media\radio"
however it keeps downloading the programs included in the exclude statement
I have tried it with and without the quotes and no change
I did try
get_iplayer janey godley
and it brought up this list
 Matches:
36111:  radio, Janey Godley: The C Bomb: Series 2 - 2. It Was Acceptable in the 70s, BBC Radio 4, m001x53c
36112:  radio, Janey Godley: The C Bomb: Series 2 - 3. Motherhood, Marriage and George Clooney, BBC Radio 4, m001xdgt
36113:  radio, Janey Godley: The C Bomb: Series 2 - 4. Friends, Enemies and a Big Decision, BBC Radio 4, m001xmgs
INFO: 3 matching programmes
And then
get_iplayer janey godley --exclude "Janey godley"
 
and it brought up this
 
INFO: 0 matching programmes
 
So obviously it works to some extent
 
I cant seem to find any examples in the help file and its driving me mad
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe it just does not work
 
Thanks in advance
