Because you might be getting radio and tv from a different servers, and one might work and the other not. earlier you posted a bit of log file: WARNING: Failed to stream file D:\Downloaded Radio\The Unbelievable Truth\The Unbelievable Truth Series 13 - Episode 3 - 2014-04-21.partial.m4a.flv via RTMP and this time you said: output = v:\BBC iPlayer Recordings this is inconsistent - do you download to D: or V:? Are both D: and V: local or network drives? If network drives, try changing your output location to a local drive. You can then copy/move files (after all the processing has been done) to a permanent location using the command option.

I use it for Radio recordings. Drive V is an external 3TB USB3 drive. It is used for Video (TV) programmes. Both have separate folders for each programme series that is downloaded via the pvr function, and this setup has worked for months. No problems with reading or writing to either. I can successfully download radio programmes that are in MP3 form, such as those from BBC local radio stations, so my feeling is that there is a format problem.

I had a similar problem with War Walks Boyne a few months ago - every download had a vertical blue line. Others had no problem. Tried when visiting my mum and all was fine - different ISP and CDN.

Re: Problem downloading radio programmes
I can play The Unbelievable Truth ok - either by searching for 'unbelievable' on the iPlayer main site (bbc.co.uk/iplayer then search top right) or by going to the radio site and finding it in the listings there Having investigated further, I find that these programmes cannot be played direct from the iPlayer website, so the fault does seem to be at the Beeb. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
