I'm currently asking him about having more web and ftp space, etc, anyway. I use a small specialist ISP and he is generally helpful. Another reason for the "morning run" has been a tendency for the connection speed to slow down during the day and become very slow in the evenings. When I do a speed test I tend to be told the downloads run at around 70megs. But iplayer fetches get far slower than this. I also find getting things in the morning quite convenient - provided the fetching works reliably! BTW This morning an mpeg-dash fetch of the 320k version of yesterday's "More Or Less" (R4) threw up segment error reports and ffmpeg failed to turn the partial file into a tidied-up version when asked by gip that Audacious could play. However doing this 'by hand' in a terminal window worked OK. I only had time to play half the result and it sounded OK. But this is a worry given that I plan to fetch a batch of Proms over the weekend! :-/ Jim -- Electronics http://www.st-and.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
