For some reason, the full emails aren't getting through.
Bottom half is missing.

Hi
In your post it shows that you're still using flvstreamer.
So it's an old version of get_iplayer, I think.
RTMPDump is used now instead of flvstreamer.

It would be better if you did a clean install with the latest version of get_iplayer.
