It depends on how you're launching the web pvr.  If you're launching it 
from the prompt while logged in with the same account and using the same 
output directory, it shouldn't work any differently than the cli.  If 
you're doing something else, explain what it is.

The first thing to do is to establish if AP is running.  Download 
something in the web pvr and look at the output in the download window. 
  Any output related to AP will be at the bottom.  It it dies or cannot 
be launched by get_iplayer, there should be an error message.  If it 
works, you'll see this:

INFO: MP4 tagging M4A file

Started writing to temp file.
Progress: =======================================================>100%
Finished writing to temp file.

Assuming it runs OK, you can use AP to do a quick check on the file:

AtomicParsley <filename> -t

should print out the tags.

You would indeed have to use --prefs-add and --prefs-del with --verbose 
to add/remove it in the options file in order for it work with the web 
pvr.  But --verbose may not be much help.  All it does is print the AP 
command invoked by get_iplayer.  Before going that far, do as I 
suggested above to establish what is actually happening on your machine.
