4 years ago Regarding the "could not create dir" error, I think the name of your hard drive Chip'n'Pid is causing problems with the perl code in get_iplayer. If you can, try renaming the drive to something that doesn't use the single quotes.
get_iplayer should be able to deal with that quoting, though... I can try to make a change in Get iPlayer Automator's copy.
The 500 errors indicate an issue with your VPN/DNS provider. I was getting that too, and switched to a new smart DNS provider. This is an issue with some of the underlying perl libraries used by get_iplayer.
I am investigating the possibility of setting a property that should bypass the certificate checking. Since you are able to download shows it may not be a big deal for you, but I might ask you to try something for me if it works.

As title says. As of latest version [1,16,1] whenever I try to download, it fails with a "Problem unknown" in the alert dialogue.
With logging set to 'Verbose' I get a lot of output. Two things which stand out on first glance are repeated 500s:
..not sure if that's a fatal error or not. It doesn't seem to be as the download attempt continues. And then, before GIA bails out I get:
The download is being saved to an external volume which the current user has full read/write access to. But, in case GIA is running as its own user, I changed permissions on the volume to be world writeable and still got the same error. So the
Couldn't create dir...error doesn't look like it's permissions related.Any ideas?
For the record, here's the entirety of the log:
