Can I tell get_iplayer to store an downloads in a particular file?

If so how is this done.

As I am new to this assume I know nothing.

Thanks.

Richard

Hi Richard, I presume you mean directory, rather than file? From the command line, type:

One way is to cd into the directory that you want the download to be in, then run the get-iplayer command Wink

Or you can set the environment variable IPLAYER_OUTDIR. That way you don't need to cd or add any options when you use get_iplayer.
