Get_iPlayer won't download BBC Sounds when setting the download directory

[VideoFanatic]

I can download a BBC Sounds programme when doing this:

get_iplayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001v3z4

I then try setting the same as the above but also adding a download directory like this:

get_iplayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001v3z4 --output “L:/Podcasts/The Retro Hour Podcast"

But it gives this error:

Episodes:
Sliced Bread Presents - Toast - Sunny Delight, BBC Radio 4, m001v3z4
INFO: 1 total programmes

INFO: Processing radio: 'Sliced Bread Presents - Toast - Sunny Delight (m001v3z4

l syntax is incorrect at C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl line 3463.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, I'll take a look at Freevine the next time I want to download a video. Interesting that you can download from ITVx, Channel 4 and Channel 5 as I was always under the impression that that was impossible. How long did it take you to crack their DRM?

Thanks for that MP3 but I was looking for the AAC 324 Kbps source. YouTube DLP can get that but I was trying to see what format get_iPlayer would download. Do you know how to do that as per my original post?

Can your program download audio or only videos?

The error message shows you the problem. You made a typo in your command. You didn't quote the directory path properly.

I can't see the error there. Can you point it out please. Can you give me the correct code please.

get_iplayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001v3z4 --output “L:/Podcasts/The Retro Hour Podcast"

the quote character that you had before L: is not the like the other quote so best to delete it and re-type it

get_iplayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001v3z4 --output "L:/Podcasts/The Retro Hour Podcast"
