Hi, I have a fairly slow and sometimes unreliable internet connection (hence I use get_iplayer rather than trying to stream video) sometimes if a download fails I get a xxx.partial.mp4.flv file left, that is a little annoying but I just try and re-download, sometimes it will continue, sometimes I have to delete the xxx.partial.mp4.flv file (such is life with my connection).
But what I do find more than a bit annoying is when a download has failed but get_iplayer has converted what it has downloaded into a mp4 file, especially when I have watched 1 ½ hours of a film and the last 10 minutes is missing! This is made worse when it is a week after I recorded the program and it is no longer available. Can anyone suggest a way getting get_iplayer to automatically flag a file when it has had excessive download errors or has produced an incomplete output file? Then I can schedule the file to be downloaded again. I am using the latest get_iplayer for windows. I appreciate that the main problem is my connection, but any ideas on a workaround would be gratefully received.
