I just have 'tvmode = good' in my preferences as I don't need very high quality. It was titled: "Call the Midwife - 17.

Call the Midwife Chistmas 2019
Hello I am attempting to download m000csm5 and I am having odd results. Basically, it starts out downloading DASH audio and then restarts downloading audio+video. twice it finished downloading and failed in ffmpeg. Unable to convert. Has anyone successfully downloaded this program? What mode did you use? -- terry l. ridder ><> ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

I know the documentation says that is what you should do to force the choice of CDN and it also says you cannot rely on the numeric suffix on a sub-mode to select the same CDN each time, but I have found it pretty consistent. Last time it was discussed it appeared that the order of CDNs varied geographically. In my own case I have found for tv 1 is BIDI, 2 is Limelight and 3 is Akamai. For radio 1 is Limelight and 2 is Akamai. To force a particular CDN I use --tvmode=dvfhd3 or --tvmode=dvfxsd3 Best wishes Richard ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

So I don't know how VLC is avoiding reading out the audio descriptions unless it's not actually an audiodescribed download that was obtained. get_iplayer could obtain both audio streams and put them in one MP4 file along with the video, and VLC and other players could then present the choice of audiodescribed or not, just as foreign-language dubbing is sometimes present in non-iPlayer material. Hi Ralph It could, but it doesn't, and as you say there is only one audio stream in the .mp4 file created by get_iplayer. I don't use audio described but I do download material which is not on the iPlayer from my satellite receiver. A typical film from Channel 4 HD had, according to the Tools Codec tab in VLC Stream 0 H.264 video 1920x1080 25fps Stream 1 MPEG Audio layer 1/2 Language NAR stereo 192kbit/s Stream 2 English Teletext subtitles Stream 3 English DVB subtitles Stream 4 A52 Audio (aka AC3) Language English NAR is short for Narrative and is the equivalent of audio described. On VLC's Audio Audio Track menu there are three radio buttons Disable Track 1 [NAR] Track 2 [English] Track 1 is selected by default, and it plays a stereo sound track with audio description. If Track 2 is selected, it plays the AC3 5.1 surround sound track but there is no audio description. That seems to me to confirm what you say, that VLC will ONLY play audio description if the audiodescribed version has been downloaded. A thought has occurred to me. All the references have been to DVF modes and for DVF audio and video are downloaded separately. Is it possible for the video to have been downloaded from a default, original or technical version while the audio has been taken from an audiodescribed version? I have not managed to find where in the Perl script get_iplayer decides which audio and video streams to download, so I don't know the answer.
