I think it is due to the BBC activating the "Watch now on iplayer" before all versions/formats are available on the CDNs. Example: last Sunday I started downloading the F1 full race coverage less than 1 min. after it became available. First few tries it was always 640x360. Gave up and waited a few minutes then tried again. Now best was 702x4xx. Tried again every few minutes and 896x504 appeared 16 minutes after "Watch now" was available. 896x504 was the one I wanted, thus don't know when the 1280 was ready. I've also noticed over the past few months subtitles for live F1 events taking longer and longer to appear from one weekend to the next. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Something like that anyway. Colin, Useful info, thanks. If ffmpeg is starting the cut at the exact time if -ss before -i that implies it misses the necessary "key frame". The arefcats are a result of frames between key frames only containing changes from previous frame. I use mkvtoolnix to split videos - with much laborious altering of split time to find +/- ss key frame - then remux mkv back to mp4 through ffmpeg cli. Is there any quick way to find key frame times?

Osborne's moving of funding the free licenses from taxpayer to BBC is a smart move. It means defending (imho the indefensible) or opposing free licenses for over 75s is an issue for the BBC: if the BBC want their money they can lobby for the end of McBroon's profligacy. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Much the same as bus companies invoice for free travel for oldies. Furthermore, I'm sure there is a lot of abuse of the system where one member of an over 75 couple will allow a friend/relative to use their "right" to a free license.

I'm grateful that in my early years I developed a desire to use quality products for anything I considered important. Age 10 first portable cassete player I bought in 1972 was an ITT: Stereo record. Always bought BASF Chrome tapes, then later Verbatim 5.25 floppies, BASF or Sony VHS tapes etc and all still work.

Vangelis, Many thanks for the additional information and tips. I'm always keen to learn more. My hope is that some day ITV, C4 and C5 see the light and realise that all the obstacles they erect have no effect on preventing leaks, but only annoy and inconvenience UK residents. If they adopted the BBC's relatively open format (with geo-blocking) so we can download their programmes to watch when, where and on device that suits us; then I and others would not need to search for alternative sources such as Mr Google's TPB cache.

So your torrent downloads a bit slower. Big > deal. That's a reasonably accurate description. VPS is 100GB HDD, 1GB RAM and 1TB monthly bandwidth - which I never get close to. I installed Debian minimal on it: Linux vps 2.6.32-042stab093.5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 10 17:39:49 MSK 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux For the first 4 to 6 months the host server was often slow with some crashes too. However, over time the other VPSs on the host reduced their usage - experimentation with various software solutions ended maybe - and it is usually reliable now.

I agree with the "most" and that's about it. London has most because of demand for fast speeds from the financial sector. Thus multiple carriers built infrastructure to London. Edinburgh does not rely on "wet string" for similar reasons: financial sector and academic sector. Even way back in the late '80s Cable&Wireless was installing fibre in central Edinburgh fed from trunks laid along the East Coast rail line. Edinburgh-London is the highest air passenger number route in UK and has: Multiple Tier 1 Carriers inc BT, Level3, Liberty and Vodafone- Cable&Wireless Multiple >=10Gbit/s circuits between various academic sites. Edinburgh was one of the pioneers of Janet & SuperJanet which I used in mid '80s Multiple Tier 3 datacentres UK's fastest supercomputer and highest ITC spend per capita If there is a sufficient demand for fibre bandwidth, carriers will provide it as that is how they make money.

I did not try radio files as they are small and stored locally. The plan was to record the TV programmes, then move them to cloud storage (500GB) as the VPS has a 1Gbs connection, but only 100GB disk space. Thus much faster than downloading with local connection then uploading to cloud. They can then be downloaded and watched when required by my family and myself. > I guess Dutch IPs are very popular with > Seedboxes because of the relaxed > file-sharing policies that are (still?) > in force in Holland!
