My "unsupported" hypothesis was based on the fact that normal IPlayer users
do not seem to be having (or rather are not noticing) the problem and the

Hmm, so it reported exactly half the number of buffers played relative to
blocks downloaded and 32 bits per sample rather than the 16 in the blocks.
Seems too much of a co-incidence to me. Could it be that the blocks each
contain 16 bits of data and two blocks are joined to make a 32 bit "buffer"?
Ah, I wondered what was going on, I am seeing exactly the same
behaviour. (Win7 64bit).

Using the PID method you can download programmes that are not in your cache.
I suspect the series PID's are not in the cache, so the software is
(correctly) saying it cannot find the PID in the cache, but as it is a PID
it can then go and search on the BBC system at which point it finds what you

Being available as a boxset via Iplayer is not the same as it being
broadcast. If it has not been broadcast (i.e. transmitted in a scheduled
slot rather than just being available to watch on Iplayer) then it will not
be in the schedule data and hence will not be in the cache which is
populated
I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I no longer convert
to MP3. I discovered that everything I was using for playback was actually
able to cope with the M4A files that get_iplayer generates by default for
radio programmes (even kit that didn't actually list it in the specs) so
If it helps, we use Iplayer on a Firestick all the time with no issues,
though we are in the UK and don't use proxies etc.

It gets sent out once a month and as far as I can tell has always included
the password so not a new thing!
As long as you are not using the password for anything else (and by default
I think it is a randomly generated one by the system anyway) there really is
little anyone can do with it.

I think it is the same for everyone, there were comments on here about it a

github issues tracker relating to it. The developer has left them as

I was going to report it on Github but I can see it is already there (issue

clearly aware of the issue having been raised (on the basis if they have
processed 379 they must have seen 378), it may just be there is nothing they

Actually that is not the case nowadays, there is a two hour "buffer" built
into IPlayer. To see it in action go to Iplayer on the BBC website, pick a
channel and choose to watch it live. You can
That said, in answer to the original question, no there is no way of
get_iplayer recording that buffer. ISTR in a much earlier version it could
record the live stream (though I am prepared to be corrected if that was
some other similar utility) but that the facility was removed, possibly when
