Good to know.

I think I've figured out how to support the Olympics streams without breaking existing functionality (and thus no need for a special versionof get_iplayer). I've merged those changes into the master branch. To install, see Git HEAD section in:

https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/installation

With the latest changes, you should use the player page for the stream of interest:

get_iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/winter-olympics/25831835 --modes=best --type=livetv

Note the use of --type=livetv. That will remove the need to use --force for recording subsequent chunks of the same programme. It also adds a timestamp to the output file name, which means that recording subsequent chunks won't fail because a pre-existing file is found. You can still use --stop.

If the above doesn't work, let me know and fall back to the method I posted earlier using a special version of get_iplayer.
