I've had this happen a few times recently when trying to download radio stuff, only for it to Just Work a few days later. Not really sure what's going on. youtube-dl can also handle iPlayer, so try that instead. You'll probably want to say this: $ youtube-dl --list-formats https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0074drw [it spews all the available formats, with resolutions] $ youtube-dl -f your_chosen_format https://... Note that sometimes it spits out audio-only and video-only formats, as well as ones that contain both. If you want to pick a particular audio and video format and combine them ... $ youtube-dl -f video_format+audio_format https://... Very occasionally *only* video formats are available for radio programmes. You want the -x option to make it DTRT with those. -- David Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice Do not be afraid of cooking, as your ingredients will know and misbehave -- Fergus Henderson _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
