Please close your issues with decent comments to at least allow your user base to understand their problem clearly. Don;t just close your issues off with the "Invalid" tag. Please close this issue, but don;t delete it. At least I took the time to help others out even if you don't.
To everyone else landing here having this bug: You need to have version 3.31 to fix this issue. The person closing these issues isn't telling you this. to fix my issue I just had to do the following:
apt install libwww-perl liblwp-protocol-https-perl libmojolicious-perl libxml-libxml-perl libcgi-pm-perl
then download the latest version of the binary using this command:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/master/get_iplayer
then just make it executable using:
chmod 755 get_iplayer
and you should be sorted.
EDIT (devs): The fourth time is not the charm.
You might also need to do the following as well to allow tagging of MP4 files
wget https://github.com/get-iplayer/atomicparsley/releases/download/0.9.7-get_iplayer.3/AtomicParsley-0.9.7-get_iplayer.3-linux-x86_64-static.zip
unzip AtomicParsley-0.9.7-get_iplayer.3-linux-x86_64-static.zip AtomicParsley
sudo install -m 755 AtomicParsley /usr/local/bin
get_iplayer --prefs-add --atomicparsley=/usr/local/bin/AtomicParsleyEDIT (devs): This is also lifted verbatim - and without attribution - from the manual install instructions in the project documentation. Ubuntu users will of course already know that a perfectly serviceable version of atomicparsley is available via apt from Ubuntu repositories. Use ours if you like, but it is not necessary.

While we explicit say that we don't provide user support, the accusation that we don't take the time to help is rather belied by the fact this information has been kept updated by us on a public web site for over a decade. The only "time to help" taken by the submitter was the time to copy and paste. As you will note below, the submitter is enthusiastic about that particular activity. So our documentation is good enough to steal, but not good enough to credit. Oh, the irony. Pro tip: don't insult the developers, then pass off their work as your own.
Of course, all that is moot because, as everyone else will immediately realise, this is not a general solution, even on a single version of one Linux distribution, Ubuntu. When get_iplayer - or any application - is unable to open a file for writing, there may be numerous potential causes: disk full, antivirus interference, wrong permissions, incorrect configuration, etc. Could re-installing by itself have the side effect of correcting the underlying problem? We'll never know since the submitter could not be bothered to explain their particular problem. And of course, this would be of no value to Windows and macOS users, or even users of other Linux distros.
Provide the PID or URL of the programme you are attempting to download, if applicable. Provide the PID or URL for only one programme.

This is what the "invalid" label was meant for.
