Release Notes

get_iplayer 3.20 Release Notes

Changes in 3.20

Fixed a bug in v3.19 that caused a "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference" error when using --pid-recursive or --pid-recursive-list with programmes that have no available episodes
Fixed a bug in v3.19 that prevented Windows users from viewing and editing PVR searches in the Web PVR Manager.

Changes in 3.19

Fixed a bug that caused one-off PVR searches created with --pvr-queue to be deleted when run with --test (thanks @wiehe).
Replaced BBC Two Scotland with BBC Scotland in programme indexing. If a cache update extends back before the week of 2019-02-18, it will produce errors because a BBC Scotland schedule does not exist for earlier dates. The error can be ignored.
Adapted --pid-recursive and --pid-recursive-list functionality for the change in layout of programme episode lists on the iPlayer site. The switch to series-by-series listings for many programmes meant that get_iplayer would only display episodes from the earliest series listed. This almost exclusively affected CBBC and CBeebies programmes, but could affect any programme.
The episode ordering with --pid-recursive and --pid-recursive-list is now always oldest to newest (as determined by the order of the listings on the iPlayer site). This ensures a consistent order regardless of the source of the episode lists, and it is generally consistent with how search results are ordered by default. Use --sort-reverse to list episodes from newest to oldest.
Added <senumx> substitution parameter to format series and episode numbers as ##x## instead of s##e## as with <senum>. As with <senum>, <senumx> may be absent.
Added --expires-after option for use with --expires-before to bracket searches based on programme expiration date.
Added --pid-index option. The programme index cache is no longer used by default with --pid, whether in a PVR search or from the command line. For an indexed programme, the cache entry provides a backup source of basic metadata, but it is not required. If you notice incomplete metadata or output file names with missing components, use --pid-index to ensure the cache is updated and used with --pid. This would only be of help with indexed programmes from the past 30 days.
Added --no-merge-versions option. get_iplayer now attempts to merge media streams from programme versions with the same name and duration (e.g., editorial and editorial2). There are some extremely rare cases where you may not want to do so because broken streams may be included in the result due to problems with BBC metadata. In that case, use --no-merge-versions to prevent merging and pick out the specific version you want with --versions.
Performed final removal of --hls-hq-audio, --no-dash-remux and --stream-http options.
