Well, I have grabbed 18 programmes this afternoon with rtmpdump 2.4 and
a fresh get_iplayer from git. All came down without error. Most of
the downloads came from ceebeebees and a couple from bbc parliment. All
were in flashlow.
Anyone else able to confirm better stability with rtmpdump 2.4? or
maybe I'm just lucky this time.

Regards
Marshall
