Hi folks
BBC Changed some of their code today (27 Nov 2019) so users of the latest release (3.22) might find some of these errors appearing when trying to download TV / Radio programs. (Affects both Linux and Windows releases).

ERROR: Failed to download URL (3/3): Access Denied
ERROR: Response: 403 Forbidden
ERROR: Access to this resource was blocked by the BBC
ERROR: Ignore this error if programme download is successful



Temporary fix : from the maintainers wiki issues . get-iplayer/get_iplayer Wiki . GitHub

works fine

a new release expected to be available shortly.

Cheers
jimbo
