What version of rtmpdump are you using? I'm on version 2.2 and I sure a mention on that forum of upgrading to 2.3 but I'm not quite sure how.

Btw thanks for all the help you are giving on this. It is much appreciated

rtmpdump-2.2d

[bmstinton93]

Ok that's alright then. I won't bother upgrading

[ianpwilliams]

I wonder if it doesn't work for me but usually does for you two because we're on different operating systems? I'm on XP, and I'm pretty sure you are both on something else?

I also wonder if it could be worth trying to use an older version of GetiPlayer, which sometimes works with other programs?

If it comes down to it, I will record the show from cable TV every day from next week. I listened to bits of the first 30mins of Neil's version, and 30mins of medium quality ripped DVD-RW audio, and 30mins of high quality ripped DVD-RW audio on my mobile phone mp3 player and earphones, and apart from the different in volume they were very similar.

I'm on Windows 7 but get_iplayer is not working atm but its a different problem entirely to yours

[neilt0]

Don't mess with your install. Per the mailing list, it's clearly a problem at the Beeb's end.

Today's show (Friday 15th July): http://www.multiupload.com/Z9LQVEW2XX

[ianpwilliams]

Thanks, I'll download, edit and upload that tomorrow.

I could really do with a digital radio, which would enable me to record the output to WAV or MP3, kind of like you used to be able to do with cassette radios. EDIT: Apparently they are available. But I can't afford £100+ right now.

128k mp2 transcoded to mp3? Ugh. That would sound dreadful. Worth plugging mp3directcut if anyone is editing down mp2s or mp3s, this piece of software can edit and cut then save without any reencoding, keeping the quality as high as possible.

I have very few issues with recording the 192k mp2 Freeview stream, then copying it over to the PC without any re-encoding. Plus with the PVR I can set it to stop well into Fearne's show so I always get all over the handovers. If anyone needs any gaps plugging in which no-one else can fill, just give me a shout.

[ianpwilliams]

Yeah maybe not then. I didn't know those digital radios were 128.

So it seems we have two/three potential volunteers to upload the full shows for editing. Like I say, I recorded one show from cable TV, and ripped the audio, and apart from being quite a bit louder than usual, it was fine as far as I was concerned (after all, what comes out of the iPlayer never seems brilliant to me, background noise when they aren't talking etc). So I don't mind how we do it really.

The only pain for me is if I need to record a programme from my cable TV after I've gone to bed, in which case I can't record Moyles as well. Which reminds me, I want to set the DVD recorder to record "The Wire" tonight (I finally want to get around to watching them after everyone's raved about them so much), which means I could do with Monday's show if possible. It won't be a problem after this Monday, because they are also showing them on Wednesdays at an earlier time, so I can record them then instead.

So is this still screwed for people? The Radio Downloader thread indicates that program is up and running again but I can't download it for the MAC.

?

[ianpwilliams]

I'm not sure. I'll find out tomorrow if I can get either to work. But it seems to be different for everyone.

[bmstinton93]

Ian, if you want to set up that dropbox thing then just let me know and give me details.

[ianpwilliams]

If you can message me your email address, then I'll create a DropBox folder and invite you to join it. You'll need a DropBox account, but they are free.

[ianpwilliams]

Hold that thought. I'm testing Radio Downloader with Friday's show now, and it might be working. also, having ran the getiplayer latest setup file, there is apparently a new script (update?), so I'm reinstalling everything for getiplayer, then I'll try downloading Friday's show with that too.

Neil, please can you remind me what copying your folder over the install folder does again? I'm wondering if I should just try the newer getiplayer install first, or if I should copy your folder over mine straight away.

[neilt0]

It just gives you a newer (working) version of the script and required apps. Some very new versions didn't work for me, but try the latest build and see how you get on.

[ianpwilliams]

Well well. Both Radio Downloader and GetiPlayer have successfully downloaded last Friday's show. Fingers crossed for Monday

[bmstinton93]

I'll message you anyway and then if it does stop working again then we're ready to go

[ianpwilliams]

Sounds good

[foot-loose]

The downloads have worked. Hawt diggidy.

[ianpwilliams]

It's great when everything starts working again Even if you have no idea why...

[foot-loose]

Someone somewhere turned something off. Then turned it back on again.

[bmstinton93]

Someone probably tripped over a wire somewhere and knocked it out.

Have you got a standard Virgin box or the + version (or TiVo?). I know on my Virgin PVR I can also record radio, so can transfer it to DVD later.

[ianpwilliams]

Nope I've got a standard box. I don't really see a need for a + box, as I've got the DVD recorder. And I've got a Freeview box, so I can watch another channel if I need to. I assume that Radio 1 is on Freeview, and is probably quieter than the Virgin Radio channels (are yours really loud too?).
