" R3 Proms 2017 output is available in lossless format in iPlayer for 30 days" I know how to get 320kbit/s using gip, but how do you get the FLAC lossless stream using gip? Thanks David -Original Message- From: get_iplayer [mailto:get_iplayer-boun...@lists.infradead.org] On Behalf Of

From: Jim web Sent: Sunday, August 6, 2017 09:56 I've had similar behaviour on occasion from using a version of ffmpeg to record the stream into an mkv container. The solution may be to try using ffmpeg -i inputfile -acodec copy outputfile as that tends to 'tidy up' things. Doesn't

The live stream is 48KHz 16bits. If you are recording 44.1KHz then a sample rate conversion is being performed somewhere. -- Owen Smith Cambridge, UK On 6 Aug 2017, at 12:06, Paul Thornett wrote: >> R3 Proms 2017 output is available in lossless

From: Paul Thornett Sent: Sunday, August 6, 2017 16:50 You are, of course, absolutely right. Except that right-clicking produces 96k rather than 320k. The good news is that the FLAC streams are not geo-blocked (or so Vangelis says in this message.)

Binaural Proms

When Paul Thornett said, "And I assume you know that you don't have to record the concert live, as all R3 Proms 2017 output is available in lossless format in iPlayer for 30 days." I went to the BBC web site to check. While I was looking I found this page

The 320kbps AAC streams started this way, first R3 live as a trial then R3 catchup then it spread to all stations. I'm hopeful that lossless will follow the same progression. -- Owen Smith Cambridge, UK On 6 Aug 2017, at 17:40, RS wrote: >> From:
