Using v2.90, modified a bit... but I've not changed anything in the fetch logic.
I'm testing something and don't want to download more than a few seconds of a tv programme, so used: --force --start 10 --stop 45 along with the same search criteria as I'd used for a previous whole-programme fetch. (The fact that I'd already fetched the programme shouldn't have made any difference [apart from the need for --force] because every fetch I do is to a unique sequence-numbered file.) Get_iplayer went into retry, which I Ctrl-C-ed after a while. In what follows note that log lines generated by the g_ip perl program have leading date/time stamps; that's one of the modifications in my version, so I can match what's going on in g_ip commands to other things happening at the same time on my machine.

It seems to me that the retry logic isn't taking into account smaller than expected files being fetched because of --start & --stop. I also don't understand why in the --attempts 1 case, RTMPDUMP was called for a second time. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
