Shevek,

I've been away, so apologies for not responding before now.

No good, I'm afraid - I've switched back to RTMP from flvstreamer, after updating to RTMPDump 2.4. So now I'm using the current version of get_iplayer (2.79) and the latest RTMP.

But here's the thing - lots of TV programmes will download fine, as FLVs converting on completion to mp4s. But some won't - I can see them downloading on the router, but an empty file envelope appears on the destination drive, without a file type shown (in contrast to those downloading successfully, which show a "partial.mp4" file type).

To give examples, I've just successfully downloaded the second episode of The Code on BBC HD (PID b01320wn), with an mp4 file size of 1153 MB, but failed to download Thursday's Elgar Prom on BBC4 (PID b012znpz), which does the empty envelope trick.

Any idea what's going on?

Best wishes,

Trevor

Trevor,

Your problem is you are using the old FLVStreamer.

You need to install RTMPDump 2.3 and then set get_iplayer to use that
instead with a command such as:

get_iplayer --prefs-add --flvstreamer ./your/path/to/rtmpdump.exe
