Re: Sky at Night
As a quick check I tried again to fetch the relevant 'Sky an Night' episode last night. I was then intending to try alternatives based on previous postings here. With exactly the same default settings as I'd used earlier... it worked fine! Hooray!... but puzzled. So I guess that the programme's setup the previous morning wasn't as normal, and this was preventing my fetching. I've been able to fetch other things I want, using the method I've been using in the recent past. The only persistent recent change is that the rate at which the transfers happen is halved. Down from 60Mbps to 30. The fetches all show as being '/bi' so I'm wondering if a change of CDM might be worth a try? Anyone have any current experience of this making a difference to transfer rate?

It is an unusual series in that episode 3 was broadcast on 10 April, too long ago for it to be in the cache, which is presumably why you are trying to find some of them by PID. Episode 4, the one you want, was first broadcast 2 days ago and should be in your cache if you have refreshed it. "Sky at Night" as a search string only finds 2 out of 14 episodes, but I guess that doesn't matter if you're only interested in the latest ones. hlshd is no longer a valid tvmode.

I'll experiment later today to see what happens if I just use the --tvmod alternatives. Sees odd though that this problem seems at present unique to the specific program. Fetched some other programs this morning using my existing method, no sign of problems. That said, I've noticed over the last few days that the fetching rate has halved! i.e. until the last few days I get transfer rates for video of c60Mbps. This has become c30Mbps, which is curious. Jim [1] The problem made me wonder if I was misreading the pid because the standard font on my copy of FireFox makes l L I and 1 all look much the same to my imperfect eyes. However all variants were tried and failed. :-) -- Electronics https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html biog http://jcgl.orpheusweb.co.uk/history/ups_and_downs.html Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
