Failing to download iPlayer file

[Steve Rochford]

I think that you've missed out the "--" in front of pid (it looks like you've got a single -)

get-iplayer --pid=p099f5jp --modes=hvfxsd1 tvmode good --type=tv

What's weird is that you don't get an error but you get the info on 2 completely unrelated programmes!

My apologies for not using my registered read only email address of xmichael at eacott.org.uk that I cannot send from and also not changing my email client Thunderbird default from html format to plain text.

I wanted to download this video
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p099f5jp/greta-thunberg-a-year-to-change-the-world-series-1-episode-2
I used this command get-iplayer -pid=p099f5jp --modes=hvfxsd1 tvmode good --type=tv

Here's the Terminal window

get-iplayer -pid=p099f5jp --modes=hvfxsd1 tvmode good --type=tv get_iplayer v3.27, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis

So what may I be doing wrong please?
