iplayer Blues..Help!

Post by luis1965 »

I have been using VSO Downloader for 3 years now just to use with the iplayer.

Today when I tried downloading the usual1 hour show, the program is making very small MP4 files of many different sizes ranging from 180 kbs to 800 kbs (taking forever), as opposed to before where the program would download and stick to just 1 folder after finalizing. Now I get hundreds of mini mp4 files that fill my desktop and not finalizing. :(

Has there been a change with iplayer, or is there something I can change on the program itself to help me out with this?

P.D. I just realized 2 things, First, in the past VSO Downloader would capture the video content even when I closed iplayer, now it stops, and if I pause iplayer, VSO downloader stops capturing as well, it looks as if it is capturing only live. Second, I used to get a final folder in the FLV format, now the hundred of mini files are MP4, what is that?

IPlayer often changes its server configuration, can you provide the URL you want to download.

These are the two I am trying to download this week.

I tried downloading yesterday using the URL and after several failed attempts, it reached 100% download, only to fail when finalizing. :(

I was not able to send the files, there was an error the 2 times I tried. VSO 4 is the only one recognizing the iplayer stream automatically, but it does not finalize. VSO 5 does not recognize the iplayer stream, only copying the URL and pasting it I am able to download 100% of the content, but once it goes to finalize there is an error and it automatically deletes the folder.

Another thing happening is that the VSO 5 always downloads the pasted URL TWICE before it tries to finalize.
