  Hi.

I'm running get_iplayer 2.78. It was all working fine at 10pm on the 
20th of Sept, but today it's stopped working. Happened using the PVR web 
GUI.

Then tried with:
get_iplayer --get --verbose 856 
--modes=flashhd,flashaachigh,flashaacstd,flashaudio,flashhigh,flashstd,flashnormal,realaudio,flashaaclow

I get:

Tried a number of programmes with the same result. iplayer-dl 0.1.20 
have also stopped working. Looks like the Beeb has changed something.

Cheers
Neill.
