I can confirm that with rtmpdump 2.3, changing to "--modes=flashvhigh2" made downloading 'Sarah Jane Adventures" merely very hard instead of impossible. Is it the case that adding the "2" is taking the data from a different content delivery network?
What I do find is that I dare not use the internet connection for anything else when get_iplayer is running. If the stream fails to keep up even for a split second the download always fails, with the endless unsuccessful resume attempts, regardless of "mode". In any case the success reports from rtmpdump2.4 are promising. Is there a build for Windows? 2011/8/3 <[email protected]>: > Send get_iplayer mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of get_iplayer digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
