  Ah OK, sounds like performance should not be an issue then :) I'll do some tests and once I'm happy I'll run it across my NAS to see what it finds and report back with the results. Thanks again for making these enhancements.

4. Windows version of offline decryption (HFODU)
  
  Yes, but I do wonder how long it might be running for then if it does not check the .hmt flag as I think there are probably in excess of 20TB of recordings in my archive! :eek: I suspect only a couple of recordings out of that lot are actually still encrypted.

  @EEPhil Many thanks for HFODU2. Its nearly perfect for my requirements now, the only thing I'd like to seen included was subdirectory scanning support which presumably would also require the inclusion of .hmt checking (if present) to skip any files already decrypted, If not then I could always...

  I would also recommend get_iplayer and use it for all the stuff I would have previously recorded on the BBC channels. Download it on a PC and run the following command and the latest series of Poldark will be yours:- get_iplayer --pid=b07pn8mz --pid-recursive

7. Windows version of offline decryption (HFODU)
  
  @EEPhil Sorry I did not want to give you a headache. If you do go the separate directory route it would be good if the utility could maintain the directory structure of the original files in the output directory, so it would be easy to copy them back over the originals once they had been checked.

  From what I can see HFODU currently works on a single (prompted) file. I have a large number of files archived onto a NAS where just potentially the odd file may not have been decrypted. In this case it would be great if HFODU could be given a batch mode (or command line interface?), where...

Another one might be that users who regularly archive recordings might now actually...
