Hi!

Since yesterday, the iPhone .mp3 files are no longer available when 
using get_iplayer 2.78 (from the official Debian Testing package).

> INFO: No specified modes (iphone) available for this programme with version 'default' (try using --modes=flashaaclow,flashaacstd,flashaudio,rtspaaclow,rtspaacstd,rtspaudio,wma)
> ERROR: Failed to record '<programme name (and ID)>'

There's a forum thread, with a link to a BBC FAQ entry that may be new:
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbiplayer/NF7331803?thread=7931335>

Is it a simple matter of adjusting the HTTP headers?


Thanks for this marvellously useful software.
