Hi,

I can confirm that I am currently using the latest patched version
from https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/raw/master/get_iplayer.

I have tried the stable, git and patched versions and all have the
same problem. Is there anything else I can try to get some more info.
It seems to be trying to download iphone URL for some reason. I have
tried different modes with no difference in the final error message.

thanks

Dan
