Why indeed, there is!

get_iplayer --pid p00fz19b

 

SWEEEEET! - that'll come down in hi-quality by default yes?

Just need to look at the switch to change the default save-to dir (sure I can suss that out)

Cheers Stu (from that Scottish bloke, with the great shoes that kept bumping into you over the weekend after the meet!)

It should be using "best" by default on the latest version, yes.

I gave up trying to change the save folder.  Since it's so slow and keep track of what you've downloaded via a text file, I'm going to keep moving them off my C drive as they come down.

EDIT: Hi Paul!

And if you have fast internet, you can download multiple files at the same time by opening up new instances of the get_iplayer command prompt.  It doesn't seem to slow the existing downloads down too much

Sussed out the change folder thing

Run the following first (in my case drive X:\ is my NAS box where all my Glasto content is stored) - note I believe this does change the future save location permanently, unless you change it again.

get_iplayer --prefs-add --output "X:\2019"

Also...to download all content I used the following....

get_iplayer --pid b007r6vx --pid-recursive

Different PID - this one refers to everything with the name "Glastonbury" in it and using the "--pid-recursive" option tell its to just go download it all

Duh, I missed off the recursive, I had a different command in my text editor and it looks like I hadn't hit "undo" nearly enough. 

Glad you got it sorted, apologies for the bum steer.

Edit: I'm going to check if I'm using the same PID as you.

Yep, I gave you completely the wrong command ?, and you worked out exactly the right one that I've been using for the past 4 years to get everything. 

At least you have good boots because of me!

The perks (and experience) of working in IT - ask someone first, if they know and tell you and it still doesn't work..... use google

So embarrassed I gave such duff info when I was in the middle of downloading everything with the command you used. Let's put it down to the Glasto blues

And the location change has worked a treat too

Technically, it refers to all episodes listed under:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007r6vx/episodes/player

To see the list of programmes before downloading use:

get_iplayer --pid b007r6vx --pid-recursive-list

get_iplayer --tvmode=hvfhd (to set HD downloads - for smaller files use tvmode=best)

then

get_iplayer URL to download

Settings aren't sticky unless you save with --prefs-add. Use --tvmode=hvfhd with each download otherwise. And --tvmode=best won't produce smaller files unless HD streams are not available, which isn't likely in this case.

does this work for a Mac too?

yes: https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/osx

but you'll need to use the command prompt/Terminal to use it

On Mac, you also get a "Quick URL Record" utility with get_iplayer. After launching it from /Applications/get_iplayer in Finder, you can drag/drop URLs from browser onto its dock icon to initiate downloads. You can also drag/drop URLs to the command prompt in Terminal, so little or no typing required.

Sorry, I'm not comfortable with publicly sharing copyrighted material. If you want to grab them directly, you still have time.

Almost twice as much as 2016 and 2015 were each (not put together).

You probably know this, hell you might already have posted it on this thread as I've not checked back, but the reason is that they've changed to 50 fps streams by default instead of 25

Am I right in thinking there's nothing available from Lauryn Hill's set?

Probably a good thing given the drop off between my experience and everyone else's tbh, but I'd quite like it for posterity since it's one of only two gigs at Glastonbury over the years (2007 Bjork being the other) that rebooted my entire existence.

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense - although I wouldn't have expected such a large increase given how compressed video stores only the deltas between frames (I realise this is an oversimplification), so the more frames you have the smaller the deltas are.

Nothing from Ms Hill I'm afraid.
