Radio 3 on iPlayer is always 320kbps AAC these days. There have been things said about other stations moving from 128 to 320kbps with Radio 2 being the first mentioned. Maybe they're running some tests?
Note the metadata still says 128kbps for Radio 3 like all the other channels, but the stream is actually 320kbps. This causes confusion at times. I imagine Radio 2 would behave the same if it went 320kbps. -- Owen Smith <[email protected]> Cambridge, UK On 12 Jun 2014, at 01:05, Mable Syrup <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm getting the occasional, but increasingly more frequent, case where I end > up with a file twice the size I'm expecting, and which claims to be 317 kbps. > I presume this is something at the BBC end, but what - and is there a > solution/patch that I'm missing in my configuration? > > Example: this morning's Ken Bruce show weighs in at approx 374 Mb whereas > yesterday's was around 149. > > > $ get_iplayer --type=radio,tv "ken b" --sin=8 --i | grep size > modesizes: default: > flashaaclow1=53MB,flashaacstd1=141MB,rtspaaclow1=53MB,rtspaacstd1=141MB,wma1=105MB > > $ get_iplayer --type=radio,tv "ken b" --sin=8 --get --force > get_iplayer 2.86-2-g969bd34-ppa17, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis > This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty. > This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain > conditions; use --conditions for details. > > Matches: > 11614: radio, Ken Bruce - Patrick Kielty chooses the Tracks of My Years, > BBC Radio 2, Entertainment,Music,Radio > > INFO: 1 Matching Programmes > INFO: Checking existence of default version > INFO: flashaacstd1,flashaaclow1 modes will be tried for version default > INFO: Trying flashaacstd1 mode to record radio: Ken Bruce - Patrick Kielty > chooses the Tracks of My Years > INFO: File name prefix = > Ken_Bruce_-_Patrick_Kielty_chooses_the_Tracks_of_My_Years_b0460sxj_default > > RTMPDump v2.4-n78-git3a1e20c-ppa8~lucid > (c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL > Connecting ... > INFO: Connected... > Starting download at: 0.000 kB > INFO: Metadata: > INFO: duration 9299.66 > INFO: moovPosition 36.00 > INFO: audiocodecid mp4a > INFO: aacaot 2.00 > INFO: audiosamplerate 44100.00 > INFO: audiochannels 2.00 > INFO: tags: > INFO: ©too Lavf54.29.104 > INFO: trackinfo: > INFO: length 410115072.00 > INFO: timescale 44100.00 > INFO: language und > INFO: sampledescription: > INFO: sampletype mp4a > 367179.551 kB / 9299.64 sec (99.9%) > Download complete > ffmpeg version git-N-30582-gef28c7b, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the FFmpeg > developers > built on Jun 6 2011 15:24:53 with gcc 4.4.3 > configuration: --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share/ffmpeg-extra > --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-pic > --enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-bzlib --enable-libfreetype > --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libschroedinger > --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid > --enable-decoder=aac --enable-decoder=aac_latm --enable-encoder=aac > libavutil 51. 6. 0 / 51. 6. 0 > libavcodec 53. 6. 1 / 53. 6. 1 > libavformat 53. 2. 0 / 53. 2. 0 > libavdevice 53. 1. 1 / 53. 1. 1 > libavfilter 2. 14. 0 / 2. 14. 0 > libswscale 0. 14. 1 / 0. 14. 1 > libpostproc 51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0 > [flv @ 0x93bd360] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5014000 > [flv @ 0x93bd360] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate > Input #0, flv, from > '/media/DATA/recordings/Ken_Bruce_-_Patrick_Kielty_chooses_the_Tracks_of_My_Years_b0460sxj_default.partial.m4a.flv': > Metadata: > duration : 9300 > moovPosition : 36 > audiocodecid : mp4a > aacaot : 2 > audiosamplerate : 44100 > audiochannels : 2 > Duration: 02:34:59.66, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A > Stream #0.0: Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16 > Output #0, ipod, to > '/media/DATA/recordings/Ken_Bruce_-_Patrick_Kielty_chooses_the_Tracks_of_My_Years_b0460sxj_default.partial.m4a': > Metadata: > duration : 9300 > moovPosition : 36 > audiocodecid : mp4a > aacaot : 2 > audiosamplerate : 44100 > audiochannels : 2 > encoder : Lavf53.2.0 > Stream #0.0: Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo > Stream mapping: > Stream #0.0 -> #0.0 > Press [q] to stop, [?] for help > size= 366079kB time=02:34:59.66 bitrate= 322.5kbits/s > video:0kB audio:360530kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead 1.539135% > INFO: Recorded > /media/DATA/recordings/Ken_Bruce_-_Patrick_Kielty_chooses_the_Tracks_of_My_Years_b0460sxj_default.m4a > > INFO: Downloaded Thumbnail to > '/media/DATA/recordings/Ken_Bruce_-_Patrick_Kielty_chooses_the_Tracks_of_My_Years_b0460sxj_default.jpg' > INFO: MP4 tagging M4A file > > Started writing to temp file. > Progress: =======================================================>100% | > Finished writing to temp file. > > _______________________________________________ > get_iplayer mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
