OT Downloading BBC radio shows with ANDROID.
Hi There's info about using get_iplayer with ANDROID here... https://forums.squarepenguin.co.uk/thread-2169.html I don't know whether it works or not. There has been no feedback since it was posted way back in 2015. But BBC radio shows can be downloaded with ANDROID using youtube-dl program instead of get_iplayer. No need for that Sounds app. And youtube-dl is useful for many other sites too. eg SoundCloud and others... http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html youtube-dl is a "command-line" program so to run it with ANDROID a "terminal emulation" app such as Termux is needed. There is info all over the www about youtube-dl and Termux and ANDROID. This is a very good how-to... https://www.droidviews.com/download-youtube-videos-on-android-with-youtube-dl/ FYI === But where are the files going to be downloaded? Well, in my case, I changed directory first. $ cd storage/shared But you can download them somewhere else if you wish. eg to an sdcard So cd first before you run youtube-dl commands. ENDFYI == To download a file... $ youtube-dl or $ youtube-dl [params] Lots of help at... $ youtube-dl --help The [params] that I use are... --format worstaudio For the low-bitrate versions. and --restrict-filenames So_that_the_filenames_are_joined_up_like_this.

The files play sequentially in my mp3 player. After each half hour there is a "clunk" as the file changes.

You need to run your command with --verbose and copy/paste all the console output. If your downloaded file won't play then post all the (anonymized) output to pastebin or text attachment or whatever.

Re "Issues with Large Files" and "Recent Radio Downloads Not Playing".
Hi I think that your problems are caused because the aac files muxed by FFmpeg into m4a when using get_iplayer are not compatible with your Linn DS devices. This is also the case with some other hardware players. I know from personal experience. Linn have told you "...the problems are caused by the file..." And if you can be bothered to file a bug report to FFmpeg they will probably tell you that it is your player that's "buggy". To play the BBC music files with their original aac data unconverted you might be able to do this by using a different m4a muxer instead of FFmpeg. That's what I have to do. But some work is needed, chatter about "radio 3 operas" and "The News Quiz" won't cut it. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

How to download get_iplayer git HEAD snapshot using wget?
Hi To download get_iplayer git HEAD snapshot using wget the command is (currently) wget http://git.infradead.org/get_iplayer.git/snapshot/969bd348e317003b88904671c3d25b76c0509307.tar.gz With FFmpeg and X264 (and others) it's possible to use generic commands... wget git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=snapshot;h=HEAD;sf=tgz wget git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;a=snapshot;h=HEAD;sf=tgz Similarly with github wget github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac/archive/master.tar.gz Is there a generic wget command to download get_iplayer git HEAD snapshot? ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Re: Remuxing m4a radio files for digital audio player

RE: Creating divx encoded files
- Downloaded a short program to test this and ended up with a .avi file All good so far, but when I try to play it, I get the audio but no video. I've tried several media players that I have installed but they are all the same. Hi Even though you have created an avi file, it still contains the original AVC video and AAC audio tracks. It will play OK in VLC and SMPlayer media players (because they are very tolerant). And these players...DivX player, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Player Classic might be too picky. Also, as others have previously said, the AVC/AAC avi files might not play nice with TV sets etc. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Re: Remuxing m4a radio files for digital audio player
It seems that the Windows version of MP4Box does need both INPUT and OUTPUT. Actually batguano99, I am not seeing this on WinVista SP2 x86; Using a 32bit Windows build of MP4Box ( GPAC version: 0.5.1-DEV-rev4214), I input a GiP recorded audio file and ran: mp4box -ipod gip.m4a Input file was processed and output file overwrote it... Hi Vangelis I've just tried again with Windows XP and MPBox-version 0.4.6-DEV $ MP4Box -ipod foo.m4a and it worked OK with overwrite as you said. Previously I might have goofed using the Windows command line. :-( ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Re: Remuxing m4a radio files for digital audio player
I recently bought a new Sandisk Sansa Clip+ portable audio player, and I've updated the firmware to Rockbox to allow it to play a greater range of files. I can now play get_iplayer radio downloads in M4A But they only seek correctly if I remux them using MP4Box using the -ipod switch Hi When you run this command:- get_iplayer --type=radio --mode=flashaacstd --pid=b03vcywt --force Does it result in an m4a 128Kbps AAC-LC file? And does it not seek with Sandisk Sansa Clip+ with Rockbox unless you re-mux it with MP4Box -ipod switch? Is that what you're saying? ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

RE: 4GB filesize limit
On Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:00:22 -0800 Andy Wedge wrote 4GB file limit sounds a lot more like an OS-/Filesystem-driven limitation than a get_iplayer limitation. Agreed. Sounds like you have hit the FAT32 file size limit. Hi I think the 4GB limit might be caused by RTMPDump.

RE: Downloading radio programmes from the BBC radio archive collections
Is there a way to generate an MP4 when downloading? No, not for this type of archive video clip. They use Sorenson Spark video codec, it's not suitable for mp4 files. (You would need to convert the avi file to mp4 using an external program). The radio is an MP3 as I have --aactomp3 in my preferences so that's OK. This type of archive audio clip already uses mp3 codec, get_iplayer will ignore the --aactomp3 preference. (No need to convert from mp3 to mp3). ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
