You are confusing flvstreamer and ffmpeg rtmpdump replaced flvstreamer as the utility that get_iplayer uses to stream the file from the internet to your computer ffmpeg is used by get_iplayer to repackage the flv file that rtmpdump (and previously flvstreamer) saves into a different, more compatible format (mp4 for video, m4a for audio) _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
