Re: "Quality not specified" - when it is ...
Hi Mark - thank you for the reply and yes, it worked. I have never previously needed to specify quality, having set it up in prefs so had not appreciated that there needed to be a space rather than a hyphen or equals sign.

radiomode
Hello All, I download radio using Linux Terminal on Mint 19.1. Modes is not set in the preferences file and I download with no mode settings, so get the default. I have an issue I do not understand and hope this group can enlighten me. For podcasts, downloaded using the PID, I invariably get a stuttering sound. The sound is momentarily interrupted with silence, then a section of sound, then an interruption. Over the course of tens of seconds the section of sound (the gaps between the silence) get shorter and shorter - then get longer and longer, until 'normal service is resumed'. For those drivers among you, it is like driving over the awareness bumps at some hidden junctions - the bumps get closer together as you approach the junction and further apart as you leave it. The same effect is only sometimes apparent when downloading the regular programs (rather than the podcasts). The effect may occur only once in a 30-minute broadcast or may occur twice, seldom more. The effect is very pronounced on a Roberts DAB radio with USB input, it is quite pronounced on a small Sony player and hardly occurs on an very old Samsung portable player (sadly on its last legs battery-wise). The same files play fine on a Linux computer and an Android phone. Any enlightenment please? The get_iplayer question is, where can I establish the difference between the myriad of versions available; I don't know the difference between a daf, a haf, or an hla though I know that best gets me 320 and better gets me 128. Also, is there any mode that will get me something better than 128 but not all the way to 320? My hearing is not so good, but I often find the 128 sibilance disturbing. Enough - and thank you.

It has to be an index unless it is the argument following --pid when it can be a comma-separated list of PIDs. These are the equivalent forms, given my index values here. 10299 10300 10301 --pid b0bbbzr2,b0bcmpgb,b0bg2ctf Ralph, I did not mis-read what you said, but expressed myself badly.

Video download file sizes
The Hollow Crown, Henry VI Pt 1 is available in many sizes. --info tells me that flashhd1 is 1910MB and flashvhigh2 is 1198MB. I have downloaded it twice as both versions and they are both the same size (1.3GB) with VLC reporting the same resolution (832x468). Can anyone explain this to me please and is there a way I can get the higher resolution? I downloaded the first four when they were broadcast the first time and they are clearly bigger and better.

Re: Spurious write permission error
Until recently I have routinely run 2/3/4 instances of gip from one Linux Terminal box with no problems - open multiple tabs in one session and run separate downloads in each, sometimes all radio or TV and other times a mix. I have not encountered a conflict with the download history getting corrupt. I have always refreshed the cache in one before running multiple. I know this does not help much but it does share an experience. However, I have recently started getting download failures when running parallel downloads; one of the pair (and not always the first or second to start) will fail part way through with a time-out/not responding error. I do not think this is a download cache problem as at the point of failure neither has completed. I delete the partial and start again, it restarts without a --force so I guess the download history has not been written.

My old Samsung would play both aac and m4a as downloaded from Auntie using gip and with no additional processing step. The newer Sony won't play BBC/gip aac but will play music aac files from other sources. Also, the Sony will play native gip/BBC m4a or aac transcoded to m4a. The aac files I have are older ones from a time when gip naturally produced that format.

Hi I have just updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Under win8 and win7 the PVR web interface and PVR scheduler worked fine. Now under windows 8.1 I can run the PVR scheduler which downloads any podcasts ready to download. However, when I run the Web PVR script the web page does not load and the following message is displayed in the browser Cannot load page. Then when I reload the page under Chrome I see the correct Web PVR manager page. I have changed the default browser page from Internet Explorer to Chrome as when I reloaded the page http://127.0.0.1:1935/ under IE I continually received error message This page can’t be displayed So, to summarise, successfully loading the web PVR is achieved: 1. Run the Web PVR perl script 2. This starts web PVR and attempt to open address http://127.0.0.1:1935/, which fails 3. I the reload http://127.0.0.1:1935/ in Chrome and the Web PVR page loads and operates correctly Does anyone know how I get the script to correctly load the Web PVR manager page without this reload?

Re: get_iplayer v.v. HiDownload Platinum
On 15/07/12 11:13, Chris J Brady wrote: Hi - I'm not promoting alternatives to get_iplayer - its one of the best. However I have been experimenting with other downloaders. In particular I tried HiDownload Platinum (trial). When I play a t.v. programme from the iPlayer site the HDP sniffer seems to detect the raw URL - for many iPlayer t.v. programmes. As - I guess - does get_iplayer. However I have noticed that the downloaded files from get_iplayer are far superior to those from HiDownload. The HiDownload files seem to be at a far lower resolution and frequently pixelate when played. The get_iplayer files seems to be smooth playing with higher resolution and detail. How is this so if the downloaded files come from the same source. Chris B. For TV programs, there are a number of different qualities available for download. Those available vary from broadcast to broadcast, but where available, the quality can be determined by the --mode= command: --mode=flashhd will bring down the HD version, where it is available. You can set the mode command in the preferences file in descending order so you will always get the best available. mplayer takes the stream, an FLV file, and remuxes it into an mp4. It does this with no quality loss. This much I know. I have no knowledge of HiDownloader but it may be that it is getting a version which is not the highest available, then it may be transcoding the stream to another format. And transcoding looses quality whereas remuxing does not. What is the pixel size and format of the resultant file from HiDownloader? HD is 1280 x 724 whereas standard definition is 832 x 468 and the files have the extension mp4. Smaller resolution files can also be available. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Re: get_iplayer 2.79 and rtmpdump 2,4
You can do a DIY on this one if you are Windows (I expect it works the same under other OS). Just go to the rtmpdump folder, copy the files into a back-up folder somewhere just in case things go wrong (I just created a folder within rtmpdump). Then download the rtmpdump v2.4 zip and extract the files from the archive to the rtmpdump folder, allowing them to overwrite the existing ones. Job done. Worked for me and works fine. If things go wrong, all you need to do is empty the rtmpdump folder and copy the originals across from the backup and you are back where you started. For the purist, you have v2.4 in a folder named 2.2d but I'm sure the internet police won't be bothered.

It seems to have settled down to totally unusable. Either the connection establishes very slowly and invariably times out or it establishes very quickly and at random points in the download either re-starts itself with the error messages: What the rest of us need to see is some comparative analysis of transfers done over your connection direct, and some downloads done through a (reliable, fast) proxy server using a VPN or SSH tunnel. If someone geeky fancies doing some testing but is short of a good bandwidthed UK server to route through for testing, I can give them a lend of my machine in Maidstone. (contact me off-list if you want to organise.) The speed test / results should then help narrow down the root cause - whether it's poor routing, congestion in your area, obvious traffic shaping or whether it's being done by the Beeb based on the behaviour of get_iplayer itself. (or perhaps all four...?) To confirm, everyone suffering is on Virgin Media cable? I can't help with that. But to provide a little bit more information - which does not lead anywhere - is that I just tried Falco using the PVR interface and it came down like a train. I immediately tried one episode of Vanity Fair and it failed and failed with the same set of error messages displayed on the PVR web page interface. Does the use of a proxy avoid the problems if they are VM network issues or traffic management? After all, the traffic still uses VM for the first/last let of the journey.
