** 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
