This error seems to be happening when I use --tvmode=best and
get_iplayer tries to download the program using flashhd1 - see terminal
output below. I tried the download several times and this error happened
each time, but at a different point in the file each time. When the
error comes up, I can leave the terminal running for many minutes, but
no further terminal output appears, and the bytes and percentage
downloaded doesn't change. If I look at the folder ~/Videos/iplayer/
while this is happening, I can see that the size of the downloaded file
is not incrementing at all, but if I run iotop in another terminal, I
can see that rtmpdump is running and is still downloading
something...but not to the specified output folder. If I press Ctrl+C to
terminate the download and force flashhd2 download by changing
--tvmode=best to --tvmode=flashhd2, then the download proceeds normally
and completes successfully without any errors indicated.
Running on Linux Mint 17 amd64.
