What am I doing wrong, please? When I try to download using a PID it fails. Eg, I'm trying to download episode 3 of "Meet the Lords". I type: get_iplayer --mode=flashhigh --pid=b08jljrn and I get: get_iplayer v2.94, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO

hlsstd mode not available for most programmes

2017-05-03 Thread Chris Marriott
I'm still using GiP 2.99 (I download by PID, so it works fine for me), and I generally download in hlssstd mode to get the smallest files. I've noticed in the last few days that the overwhelming majority of programmes aren't available in hlsstd; the smallest file I can get is hlsvhigh, which is

Are you sure that it's from today? The iPlayer website says: You'll soon need to sign in to watch which suggest that it's something that's coming soon, rather than applying with immediate effect. No mention of it on the iPlayer Radio site at all. Cheers, Chris -Original Message-

Re: Legacy Low-Res tvmodes removed

Yes, I reported a week or so ago that low-res modes were no longer available as HLS for the majority of programmes. Fortunately, they are still available with the "hvfx" modes. I download everything with "hvfxhigh", which produces a file similar in size to that of the "hlsstd" mode which has

Can't download with GiP 3.00

Dear All, I was successfully using GiP 2.99 on my Windows XP machine but, on the advice of people here, upgraded to 3.00 because I stopped being able to download programmes in "hlsstd" mode. Unfortunately, things have gone from bad to worse as a result of upgrading. Not only is "hlsstd" mode

Thanks, tellyadict. "hvfxstd" is slightly smaller than "hlshd" (870MB v. 1GB), but I really wish I could download 340MB versions as I used to do. Unfortunately the availability of low-res versions of programmes seems to be getting more and more restricted. I found one mode which gave me a 340MB

Thank you - "hvfxhigh" is exactly what I was looking for! That's given me a 390MB file for "MasterChef", compared to 810MB for "hvfxsd" and 1GB for "hlshd". I'll use that as my default mode from now on. Having read an earlier post, I did actually replace "ffmpeg" with the version from 2.99

It's perhaps worth noting that repeats of daytime TV quite commonly seem to miss out episodes at random. I guess they show however many episodes they need to fill a gap until the next new series starts. Looking back, I see that I recorded S2E8 of "The Coroner" (which was called "The Foxby

That's the way it's always been. TV programmes are geo-restricted, but radio programmes are not. You need to use a VPN which makes you appear to be in the UK if you want to download TV programmes. Cheers, Chris -Original Message- From: CJB Sent: Friday, December 21, 2018 1:06 PM
