** Description changed: Binary package hint: get-iplayer - get_iplayer cannot download iphone mode at all in this older version - because the BBC changed/simplified the method used to get this type of - stream. The bug was fixed by the author last year and Debian upstream - already has the newer version. Can I sugget a sync with Debian - (currently at v2.51) ? + Issues caused by the BBC changing protocol: + * iPhone mode no longer works as the BBC changed protocol. + * wma radio mode doesn't work since BBC changed it. + * Changes from BBC require the retry attempt limit to workaround more frequent retries of flash streams. + * several flash modes not working due to bugs found in CDN metadata parser. + * Flashaac radio modes do not working as expected since the BBC added multiple flash aac bitrates to all radio programmes. + * BBC local radio stations listing changed from BBC, package should be updated to reflect this. + + This issues are fixed in the current development version of Ubuntu. + + This package has no reverse depends, so the regression potential is + minor. The branch attached is based on a patch provided by upstream, + based on them backporting the fix to the bug. TEST CASE: d...@micmini:~/tmp$ get-iplayer -g 860 --modes=iphone .... ERROR: Failed to record ... - - This package has no reverse depends, so the regression potential is - minor. The branch attached is based on a page provided by upstream, - based on them backporting the fix to the bug.
