RE: "ERROR: Failed to download URL "
I was going to report it on Github but I can see it is already there (issue 378 & 380). Issue 379 has been accepted as a bug so the maintainers are 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 can do about it. At the end of the day the software is working as designed, trying different approaches to get the file until it finds one that works. So in answer to the original poster: 1. Only the maintainers know and the only way we will find out is if they either change the status of the issues log (https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues?q=is%3Aissue) or release a new version that mentions it. 2. Nope, already been done twice, once a week ago and once today 3. Nothing to work around, in effect that is what the software is already doing on your behalf Hope that helps George > -Original Message- > From: get_iplayer On Behalf Of > mable syrup > Sent: 13 March 2021 19:56 > To: get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org > Subject: Re: "ERROR: Failed to download URL " > > > > > Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2021 at 12:50 PM > > From: "Mark Carroll" > > To: get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org > > Subject: Re: "ERROR: Failed to download URL " > > > > On 13 Mar 2021, mable syrup wrote: > > > > > Started getting these recently for TV programmes.

If you know some > Perl, the source code is quite amenable to local adjustments. There is no-one maintaining get-iplayer at the moment. GitHub has been configured to automatically close issues with no human intervention. dinkypumpkin does say that if you have a bug fix, he will merge it, but new features won't be merged unless you wish to take over as maintainer. See https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/34f400ac391bdc1880362420b266d349b86621c7 and https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/contribute#code Dave ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

I have not noticed any indication that anything other than useful bugfix PRs is presently welcomed by the maintainer. Reports of issues tend to be summarily closed. We hope and wait for fixes and, at least for major issues, generally they come promptly, which is great. If you know some Perl, the source code is quite amenable to local adjustments. -- Mark ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
