For several days, and on two machines, I've tried to download a Radio Ulster programme, called "Bad Language", listed as the 09 Aug episode. It seems to fail to fetch the first stream using RTMPDUMP, then go on to try another (real time WMA streaming?). That goes wrong in a different way - I see no network traffic actually taking place (via my NetMeter app) and the command window I issue the command in never returns to a C prompt, and XP's task manager says mplayer isn't actually executing.
FWIW, I'm going to remove WMA mode from the mode shortcuts in the next release. I wish I had done it for the last release given the confusion it can cause for new users. MPlayer WMA streaming has always been a bit unreliable on Windows (oh the irony) and it's a poor fallback when rtmpdump fails since it's real-time only (when it works). For me, it's really only useful for live radio recording.
Other episodes have been fetched without problem. Any ideas?
This tells you everything you need to know:
DEBUG: HandleInvoke, server invoking <onStatus> DEBUG: HandleInvoke, onStatus: NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound ERROR: Closing connection: NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound DEBUG: Closing connection.
This happens sometimes - things get screwed up at the BBC end and there is no media stream for a given programme. There's you can do about that I'm aware of.

The "bad.wma" is a clue. That's not a proper ASX playlist, presumably because the programme isn't available.
