get_iplayer: Update to 3.26

                         get_iplayer 3.26 Release Notes

Changes in 3.26

     * Restored download of programme credits - broken by BBC changes.

     * Restored channel names to --pid-recursive-list output - broken by BBC
       changes.

     * Restored subtitle colours - broken by BBC changes.

     * Media streams mislabelled as belonging to the defunct BBC Store are no
       longer ignored - a few may contain valid content.

     * Fixed hash initialisation in Pvr class (@praxilian)

     * Added new --cuesheet-offset option (synonym: --tracklist-offset) that
       can be used to apply a positive or negative offset to track times in
       cue sheet or track list. If you find track times off by a consistent
       amount after download, use --cuesheet-only with --cuesheet-offset=<n>
       or --tracklist-only with --tracklist-offset=<n> (where n = offset in
       seconds) to generate a new cue sheet or track list with adjusted track
       times.

     * The default value of the --thumbnail-size option is now 1920, which
       downloads a 1920x1080 image. The previous default was 192, which
       downloaded a 192x108 image. This larger default size should work
       better on TVs and larger devices, but it will still scale down for
       smaller devices and media manager software.

          * If you have added --thumbnail-size to your preferences, it will
            continue to be used.

          * This change will add ~200KB to the size of tagged output files,
            compared to the previous default.

          * If you wish to restore the previous default thumbnail size:

   get_iplayer --prefs-add --thumbnail-size=192

     * Thumbnail size is now automatically limited to 1280 when
       --thumbnail-square is used, in order to avoid distorted images.

     * The @wrt atom in metadata tags (iTunes: Composer field) is now set to
       "BBC Sounds" for radio programmes. The value is still set to \ 
"BBC
       iPlayer" for TV programmes.

     * The --tag-utf8 option is now ignored and will be removed in the next
       release. It hasn't served any useful purpose for some time. To remove
       it from your preferences if necessary:

   get_iplayer --prefs-del --tag-utf8

     * The minimum version of Perl nominally required for get_iplayer is now
       5.16, in line with recent changes in requirements for the Mojolicious
       module. This requirement is not yet enforced in get_iplayer code since
       some combinations of older Perl and Mojolicious versions will still
       work. This only concerns Linux users doing manual installations, and
       who for some reason attempt to install new versions of Mojolicious
       with obsolete versions of Perl, so it is unlikely to apply to you.

     * get_iplayer previously allowed a PVR run to continue even if the
       previous run might still be active, as long as 12 hours had elapsed
       since the previous run was launched, on the presumption that after 12
       hours the previous run must be hung. That is no longer the case.

          * If an invalid (e.g., due to disk write error) PVR lockfile is
            found, get_iplayer deletes the lockfile and exits with an error
            and an instruction for you to check if get_iplayer PVR is already
            running before restarting.
          * If a valid PVR lockfile is found and the previous run is still
            active, get_iplayer will now always exit with an error regardless
            of whether or not 12 hours has elapsed. It now prints the process
            ID associated with the running PVR so that you can check the
            process status if necessary.
          * get_iplayer is not prone to hanging as it sometimes was when it
            relied on rtmpdump and ffmpeg for downloading, so this change
            should have little effect on you. One possible exception is if
            you try to use get_iplayer in Windows Subsystem for Linux v1 (WSL
            1), where AtomicParsley always hangs and thus hangs every PVR
            run. Don't use get_iplayer on WSL 1. AtomicParsley does work with
            WSL 2.
