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

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.

Because my email above was after the one where I thanked you for
pointing out CDN-selection might help:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2019-December/012652.html
Thus I managed to obtain technical by the time I analysed
download_history.

I tend to ed(1) download_history to delete a PID if I want to try again
rather than use --force as I'm not certain of every aspect of the
latter's actions. I've just obtained E08 again without excluding the
Bidi CDN,

and now get two entries for it, as you suggest.

Interesting how I once again get the low-resolution audiodescribed
version despite those ‘Downloaded’ showing the ‘/ll’ CDN. If I download
it a third time, adding ‘--exclude-supplier bidi’ then I upgrade again
to technical, still /ll.

I think what happens is without the bidi exclusion, technical is
attempted from bidi, that fails, audiodescribed is tried instead, that
also fails from bidi, and then the next CDN is tried, /ll, that works,
but we haven't started at the beginning of the versions, instead staying

Playing using VLC doesn't play the AD. I'm not sure how it may relate to this. However I've downloaded all the episodes (using DASH) and I did a quick check having seen this thread. I played a couple of short bits of episode 8 and it seemed normal - i.e. didn't notice any AD. Played using VLC, so maybe that ignores the AD and just gives me the normal audio? If I remember, I'll drop the file onto ffprobe to see what it contains.

Re: His Dark Materials m000csdk: only audiodescribed available?
Hi Ralph
The versions field is telling you the available versions, and the end of
the filename is telling you the version you downloaded. I can't see
anything in what you have shown which suggests you got the
audiodescribed version when you didn't want it. That is not to say you
won't get the audiodescribed or signed version if it is the only one
available, just that your download_history doesn't seem to show it.
download_history is written incrementally (append mode), so if you have
downloaded the last episode twice there ought to be two records.
Best wishes
Richard

I only downloaded the audio and part of the video as this is a metered connection. I haven't tried all the modes and CDNs, so there may be others that work.

Sometimes there's a problem that I can reproduce via their web-based iPlayer stuff, exactly that kind of issue. If I don't see it under https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help/known-issues then I mention it on https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help/questions/need-more-help/report-prog-problem then typically come back later to find that it got fixed and now it works in get_iplayer too. It might be like when the electrical power for a street goes out and all the neighbours assume somebody else called but then when I call the power company seem surprised so I guess sometimes one really can be the first! -- Mark ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
