Failed to stream file

Thu Jan 6 14:31:28 EST 2011

I had a variety of things refusing to download yesterday, but all is back to normal today and I'm downloading a the moment using the current version of Get iPlayer Automator (get_iplayer using Mac app) which hasn't been updated (or fiddled with) in terms of rtmp and get_iplayer versions etc. for a while. It's probably just the beeb doing stuff with the CDNs that affects some IP ranges and not others. Give it time, try again tomorrow.
