http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/ was offline for some time this morning, so the installer kept failing to get the ffmpeg component. Not get_iplayers fault of course, but instead I downloaded http://www.afterdawn.com/software/general/download_splash.cfm/ffmpeg_64-bit which gave me ffmpeg-20140412-git-513a431-win64-static7z.exe but I couldn't for the life of my work out how to "point" get_iplayer to it.
Of course, after an hour of fiddling, the site came back up and I managed to install the get_iplayer 2.86 update OK. But I was wondering if there's a way to get round this if it happens with other components? Of could the installer perhaps have a second "failover mirror" list for the components? Anyway, thanks for the update. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
