Note that under (or at the end of) Phil Lewis' maintainership the
common configuration for get_iplayer to bypass the verification was
something like:
get_iplayer --flvstreamer /usr/bin/rtmpdump --rtmp-tv-opts --swfVfy http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf?revision=15501_15796
Since this was lengthy to add to the command line every time you
wanted to catch up with EastEnders, I'm guessing that most people used
"--prefs-add", the same way I did:
get_iplayer --flvstreamer /usr/bin/rtmpdump --rtmp-tv-opts '--
swfVfy http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf?revision=15501_15796' --
prefs-add
Thus users should be checking for this:
$ get_iplayer --prefs-show | grep swfVfy
rtmptvopts = --swfVfy http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf?revision=15501_15796
$
If "--prefs-show" returns this "rtmptvopts" line, then it indicates
the verification has been set manually.
You can remove this option with:
get_iplayer --rtmp-tv-opts '' --prefs-del
(note the above is two ' quotes, not a single ", and *is* necessary)
I wasn't aware myself until now that the shockwave verification had
now been hard-wired.
