It seems those words were written by AtomicParsley. "Started writing"
occurs at line 4859 of parsley.cpp and "Progress:" at 4360. I am going
to have to work out how get_iplayer invokes AtomicParsley to write to a
temp file. That is unfortunate because although AtomicParsley
documentation describes the tags and the format of a .mp4 file, there is
very little on how to invoke it.
AtomicParsley does create a temporary file, and it does write to it.
What it writes seems to start correctly with ftyp, moov, mvhd, trak,
tkhd, edts and so on atoms. The problem is that it abruptly stops. For
example last Sunday's Andrew Marr programme with hvfxsd3 was 813MByte.
The temp file stopped being written after 4365 bytes. The latest Film
Review was 137MByte. The temp file stopped after 196kByte. There is no
error message; it just hangs.
For debugging I can invoke AtomicParsley manually with something like
AtomicParsley /path/filename.mp4 "--description" "presenter"
but it probably is not worth the effort.
Best wishes
Richard
