@ 666philb

Occasionally I get errors when I try to download radio streams and it would complain about 'rtmpdump'.

Anyway, I have compiled the latest builds of 'rtmpdump' and 'flvstreamer' for use with this application.

I still get error messages with 'rtmpdump' but at least this time it continues and finishes the conversion process.

I have attached the binaries for you if you want to test them out. Not sure if Slacko has these updated, but I'm using Lucid 528-004.

Here's my logfile just to show it works:

@ 666philb ... thanks for the update Smile

I'm using Lucid 528-004 as my OS.

When I use the application, get_iplayer reports that I was using Flvstreamer v1.9.

I updated flvstreamer to v2.1 and at the same time I compiled RTMPdump 2.3 as I occasionally got errors when downloading and failing to encode the file,; usually podcasts or live radio.

In your screenshot, you seem to have an older version of flvstreamer ie v1.8

Also in all builds so far, swf verfication has not been built into the binaries.

It's strange, as I have just grabbed some stuff today with the updated files and it seems to work for me.

Here's the updated files working on mine ....... as you see I have an error whilst downloading ....... this would usually mean that I end up with a file that cannot be converted from *.flv to another format.

and here it shows, that even though I had the error, it has allowed me to convert the file to *.mp4a.

hi chrome307

i just tried again with the latest flvstreamer and rtmpdump, and instead of putting rtmpdump in its default usr/local... i put everything in /usr/ and it seems to be working Smile

anyway.... i've uploaded the newer version

Thanks again for maintaining this app ...... what would be super if the tv guide could have incorporated into this somehow lol .... well I can always dream Smile

btw ... in the zipped up attached I think I put all the files in their corresponding directories, so they just need to be unzipped and placed in the same location ..... better still you've updated the app !!!

Hello All

I am now unable to get any of the live TV channels to work except the BBC Parliament and even this locks up and stops. This is the case for both vlc and mplayer. The stuff on the TV cache seems to work. Is this the same for every body?

Regards,

Ken.

Hi 666philb

Thanks for the information. At least I know it is not a problem with my machine. Do you know if this is caused by a change made by the BBC. Seems a bit odd that only live TV seems to be affected. Is it fixable?

Regards,

Ken.

Hi everyone,
I was very pleased to discover get-iplayer today and installed it with great enthusiasm on my lupu528 system. But when I start the program it tries to connect to www.infradead.org to obtain plugins and updates. That site no longer exists and get-iplayer times out. is there a workaround please?

hi simes

yes the site seems down at the moment, this is quite a recent occurence and the site may well come back on line soon.

the version on the first page (2.80) is still working apart from the updates, so i wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks, Phil. I used version 2.80 and installed it from your PET at the top of this thread. It insists on visiting the (unavailable) site to check for updates and drivers, then times out and ends. is there a way to bypass the check for updates so I can use v2.80?

It's working for me today. I didn't change anything, so either the program found the updates it needed or gave up politely without complaint. Either way, thank you - a very useful utility indeed.

updated

now working on Precise ... i've attached a .pet on the first post.

For this version i've updated how the gui acts, windows now don't overlap each other and you can press the 'enter' key to input information instead of having to click 'ok' Smile

i've removed flvstreamer from the package as i think that was causing problems.

live streaming is still not working, but i've posted a work-around in the 'Notes' on the first post. there's also a possible fix for audio/video sync problems if you're experiencing them.

i'll update the other .pets when i get time and make a .pet for the new slacko. in the mean time, if you're having problems with your version try deleting flvstreamer from /usr/bin

Hello

I've found get-iplayer useful in the past but not used it for some time. I tried to download a programme today and found it doesn't seem to be working.

It gathers the big text list of all programmes (*tv.cache) OK but whatever I try to download just gives output as in the attchment.

Have the BBC altered something again and brocken the utility or am I unlucky?
