safeweb.norton.com says that www.infradead.org is OK, so it seems Norton 
is sending mixed messages.  Only you can decide if you're comfortable 
enough to disable Norton to get the download.  Or maybe just find a 
computer without Norton?

Hi, i just installed v2.83, i haven't downloaded anything for a while 
with get_iplayer, i just tried to download this andy murray 720p show:

Last time i used mediainfo a few months ago 720p used around 3200kbps now it is 
only 2345kbps, the ref frames
seemed to have increased from about 2/3 to 6 which is a nice improvement but 
that won't allow you to reduce the bitrate
to this extent.

Is there a different video type other than Flashhd1 that gives a higher bitrate?

Thanks for this. I am on Windows 7 (32 bit) and had been having trouble 
for a few weeks despite uninstalling/ reinstalling etc and trying to 
replace the swf file. This update worked a treat with the Windows 
installer and all now appears to be OK. Just a pity that I missed the 
last Arne Dahl episode before the fix!!

Thanks again

fyi the latest Windows installer complained about not being able to copy a file 
to a nonexistent "lib" directory during the upgrade procedure... I can only 
assume the installer deleted the previous lib dir and for some reason was 
unable to (re)create its replacement...

I created it manually,  hit Retry and all was good.

I presume you're referring to the material scraped from linuxcentre.net 
and posted in the GitHub wiki.  It's nothing against infradead.org.  I 
just don't have the time or inclination to turn that stuff into a web 
site.  I only want to be able to bash out a bit of Markdown and get 
things updated quickly, as well as give other people a relatively easy 
means to contribute, so wiki it is.  I'm hoping it will help a bit with 
knowledge capture, but for the moment it's mostly a time-saving device.


If someone wants to fashion that content into a proper web site, they're 
free to use the wiki as raw material.  It would make a pretty terrible 
web site as-is given that the content is derived from disconnected blog 
posts and brain dumps.  A proper web site would require more editorial 
effort than I can provide.



Do you want me to take the existing site down, or make it redirect to
github?


No.  As someone else pointed out, the Windows installer needs the web 
site to function.  As for a redirect, I don't see any need for that.  I 
added a link to the github wiki in the get_iplayer page at 
infradead.org, so anyone who wants to read some documentation can find 
it if they want to.  By the same token, the wiki has infradead.org 
download links and I've replaced the infradead.org copy with a link back 
to the infradead.org get_iplayer page, so it should hopefully be obvious 
to anyone reading the GitHub wiki that the infradead.org site is out there.



Or would you rather I fix something else so it can stay where it was?


I don't know what "something else" you're referring to here.  Everything 
on www.infradead.org is exactly as it has always been.

Sorry for the confusion. I've amended the installer configuration to 
show the RTMPDump version as "2.4-git-20130109", which hopefull should 
make the upgrade a bit more obvious.

Hi Jonathan!
I'm afraid "010913" has nothing to do with git versioning and it is indeed 
misleading.
"rtmpdump-2.4-git-010913-windows.zip" is the (only) 2.4 win32 binary hosted 
on

the official RTMPDump page, which is:

http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/

When this binary first appeared online sometime mid-January, the latest 
commit on

the git repo here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/rtmpdump.git

was this one:

http://repo.or.cz/w/rtmpdump.git/commit/3a1e20c08cc4f7ad8b6684fadd0bfb4420376809

The 3 latest after this, dated  2012-12-30, did not make it to the repo 
until much later,
possibly end of January (I know it may sound peculiar, but it is indeed 
true!).


I am 99% sure that "010913" is the compilation date of the binary, written 
in the US way,

that is Jan 9th 2013 or 09/01/13 in European writing.
If it was compiled from git-master at the time, that would make it
"rtmpdump-2.4-git-3a1e20c"

PS: The previous win binary hosted on the official site was this one:

rtmpdump-20110925-git-6230845-win32

and was compiled by Steven Penny on Sep 25th 2011 (ergo 20110925);
although the link
http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/download/rtmpdump-20110925-git-6230845-win32.zip
still works, it was removed at his request from plain view in Nov 2012, when 
his relation

with Howard Chew and other rtmpdump devs turned sour - see this post:

http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showpost.php?p=51324&postcount=1

Vangelis.

OOoh! New version - excellent! Updated my previously installation perfectly,
and I'm fairly sure it's not my imagination but the web pvr manager seems
much more responsive.
Switching betweeen the tabs is instant - not saying the 2 second delay
before bothered me, but it's noticably faster.

As a Windows user, that would be a bad thing as that's where the Windows
installer is hosted! From the github readme:

Windows Installer

A new version of the get_iplayer Windows installer is available:

http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe


So - if David is the owner of infradead and dinkypumpkin is the author of
get_iplayer how come ... no, I'm confused!

Can someone explain git versioning to me? The installer is taking everything
else fom lower to higher versions except...

RTMPDump (2.4-git-6230845 -> 2.4-git-010913)

I kept it in for upgrade but 6230845 is higher than 010913 - does that mean

I see you're moving away from the web site on www.infradead.org?

Do you want me to take the existing site down, or make it redirect to
github?

Or would you rather I fix something else so it can stay where it was?
