Please excuse my ignorance, but having identified the 'pid' of the show to be recorded, just where does it need to be input?
If you're new to getiplayer it's far easier to use the web pvr recorder, copy the url for the programme in question from the programme play page on the the bbc iplayer website, paste the url into "quick url" box , and press record.
Otherwise you're using the command line prompt version of get_iplayer, which has a whole load of instructions and commands and syntax which that post ignores.
It strikes me this may be a first shot from the BBC, I suspect they are moving to a DRM model for iplayer , something that forces you to show you have a subscription fee (ie a tv license) before you can access iplayer, and if you want to download and keep, you'll also be forced to pay more
You already do have to pay to download to keep BBC programmes via iTunes, Google Play, Blinkbox et al.
Using get_iPlayer has always been unlawful.
I imagine the BBC will start using DRM soon too, but that's irrelevant to subscription on iPlayer - Mubi doesn't use DRM and is subscription. 4OD has no subscription but does use DRMed streams.

Got that, it works thanks.
Can you get it to "series link" like this- so every episode of say a radio show?
I'm not surprised that it's come to this. However it's a shame there's no "official" way of taking radio shows offline to listen to for later playback.

Works for me, although it initially says 'pid not found in radio cache'
The character between the 4 and 3 is a letter l just in case you typed it as a 1
Thanks, but I copied and pasted it, so definitely the right url. I just opened get iplayer as normal, copied and pasted the entire url into the 'quick url' box and clicked on 'Record'. Are there any steps I've missed out? It's so annoying not being able to download shows and put them on my ipod anymore!

How will DRM work for foreign audiences, that the BBC love to give material to, all paid for by the British licence fee payer?
I have the same problem. I copied and pasted as described and got this
"INFO: Trying pid: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04l3m32 using type: radio
INFO Trying to stream pid using type radio

The bbc promised that we would be able to download radio shows from iplayer when radio downloader ended-i don't have 3g or 4g on my current phone simcard and can't rely on wifi so using get_iplayer is the only way to get shows on my mobile to listen to at my leisure,so come on BBC offer us radio downloads and i'll stop using get_iplayer

Next April is the current planned roll out by the beeb of radio downloading.
Till then (or a new version of gi) I've gone the old fashioned route.
windows media center & a tv card to record the radio programs from live as .wtv files - this at least has pvr functionality.
I'm currently playing around with xmedia recode to convert them to a phone friendly size / format ultimate hope being to batch run that to dump the output into my dropbox (as get_iplayer used to)

Do you have to record this whilst playing the station live as I am trying to record Bob Harris which has now been moved to the ridiculous hour of 3am Sunday morning?
I used get_iplayer to download the latest apprentice series but have now turned to torrent sites as its a lot easier and quicker to download asap this goes for radio shows too.

Not any more - look at post #23 in this thread, that's what kicked off this discussion.
EDIT - although it doesn't include metadata or nice easy filenames
It's not working for me. When I do that it says;
INFO: Trying pid: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04l3nvj using type: radio
INFO Trying to stream pid using type radio
INFO: pid not found in radio cache
WARNING: No programmes are available for this pid with version(s): default
Recording complete
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

The forum accepts plain text emails to post.
What a terrible piece of web software - you have to click into each message at a time...
Eg use http://www.bbc.co.uk/b04l3nvj instead of http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04l3nvj
Aha, that works! Thank you very much for the info, really appreciate it!
v2.68.2 allows scheduling of recordings in the free version.

Here's hoping the Get_IPlayer developers fix it soon!
Do we know if it will be adapted for the new system?
Also, what is the Rarma Radio? Does anyone use it. Is it reliable and virus free?
