Re: Olympic torch relay footage
I am having issues with this too. I have tried get_iplayer --pid p00syxbw for the bit I am after, but it's not working. I normally use the GUI and not console so this is a little harder for me to understand. It's not working for me but they only ran past a few hours ago - will I need to wait?

ITV/C4/C5 are no longer supported by get_iplayer. They haven't been for a while, but a lot of people still find their way to the old get_iplayer website, which contains obsolete info. Google for 'get-flash-videos' instead. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

A bit more information. Running on a Mac, latest Lion release. The reason I'm using rtmpdump 2.2c was that 2.4 never worked for me. It did, weirdly enough, work for get_flash_videos. The upshot is that I re-downloaded the version from mplayerhq and built a new version from scratch just in case. Now using that version, everything seems to be working much better. I get one retry and the ffmpeg at the end fails, however, it's good enough for me to extract the clip that I want. Many thanks for forcing me to do that. I kept wondering why I was getting a SEGV when it was running, and it looks like it may just be exercising a code path that get_flash_videos doesn't. I thought it may have been an issue with the stream for that particular day, but it looks OK now. Many thanks for your help.

Re: Olympic torch relay footage
I have ended up with the whole of 6 hours worth squished in to a 2gb file, is there anything I can do to get a higher quality version? It's worse than YouTube 240p. Do I need to wait for a HD copy or is this the best there is and nothing else is likely to happen to improve it now?
