get_iplayer allows user to download files from the BBC iPlayer service. It is awesome, they both are.
I'm attempting to run a get_iplayer command from within Xcode using NSTask:
NSTask *task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setLaunchPath:@"/users/myuser/documents/get_iplayer_install/get_iplayer"];
NSArray *args = @[@"--type=radio",@"--pid", @"--modes=flashaacstd,rtspaaclow", @"b006tnvx"];
[task setArguments:args];
[task launch];
[task waitUntilExit];
This is intended to do the same job as when I run this from terminal:
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid b006tnvx
However, it produces this output:

Whereas it ought to produce something like this:
I don't think this is a get_iplayer question, it's my lack of understanding about NSTask and probably about how unix works.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Cheers, Andy
