GiP trying to download incorrect PID

[Nick Payne]

I've noticed this now a couple of times on different downloads - I give
GiP a PID on the command line, and it errors out on a different PID
number. See console output below for an example - I've asked for PID
b0b1y57f, and that initially gets echoed back in the console output, but
further on it then tries to download b0b1y54f and fails.

GiP 3.13 on Win10 x64.

I've noticed this now a couple of times on different downloads - I give
GiP a PID on the command line, and it errors out on a different PID
number.

The PID you provide on the command line represents the main program
entity, in this case, "World Championship Snooker Extra, 2018, Day 8".
Using that PID you can load the program page in your browser, and GiP
can get information about it.

There is, however, no media associated with that PID. Each program can
have multiple versions, and the main PID is not assumed to represent one
single version. For example, a TV episode might have an original
version, a version which has been edited, a version which carries audio
description for the blind, and yet another version which carries sign
language. A radio episode of The Archers might have an original
broadcast version and an edited, podcast version.

Each version is represented by yet another PID, so when GiP reports that
it had a problem downloading a PID different to what you gave it, it's
reporting that it failed to download a specific version. If a program
has multiple versions, or you want a particular one, you can supply it
by name on the command line using the --versions parameter.

Yes as James rightly says, there can be multiple vPIDs with any PID. You can see from looking at your output that World Championship Snooker Extra: 2018 - 8. Day 8 (b0b1y57h) has at least 2 vPIDs associated with it. You've got the Original version (b0b1y54f) and the Shortened version (b0b1zhhq).
