Hi, A short while ago, I noticed that the radio programmes I was trying to download with get_iplayer 2.79 had stopped working. From comments on forums etc. this appeared to be due to the BBC not using mp3 streams any more, so I added flashaac to my --modes list and they started downloading again, albeit as .aac files instead.
A couple of weeks ago, programmes that I could find through searches on the online iPlayer weren't being found by get_iplayer. This coincided with the rebranding of Radio 7 as 4 Extra; I noticed the checkin comment in git "Add Radio 4 Extra" so tried using the current git version instead, but I found that instead of an .aac file I ended up with a .m4a. Presumably due to the subsequent "Output AAC as M4A for iTunes with metadata tags" change. Then I spotted the new "Add --aactomp3 option to force transcoding AAC to MP3" - seeing as my Sansa Fuze doesn't play aac files anyway, just mp3s, this seemed like just what I needed. However, it's not creating MP3s, the output files have .partial.mp3.flv extensions, and according to the "file" command are "Macromedia Flash Video" type. There is a message being output Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame' INFO: Command exit code 1 (raw code = 256) WARNING: flv conversion failed - retaining flv file however I do have lame installed and /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 is present... Is this a bug in the latest git version of get_iplayer, or am I missing something that it needs? Also, if anyone can suggest how to convert the other aac files I'd downloaded into MP3s, it'd be appreciated...
