encountered infinite loop "Couldn't resume FLV file, try --skip 1"

[Matthew Kerle]

Hi all!

first, great little piece of software, I'm very impressed! I've just
found iPlayer as I'm trying to watch the HD gymnastic streams without
stuttering on my less-than-HD net connection. This is the first time
I've used iPlayer but I managed to get it downloading happily on the
HD stream except that it hit an infinite loop around the 11minute mark
and I had to ^C out.

I'm trying to watch the Mens individual all-around located here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w2ypc

so I ran

"get_iplayer --pid p00w2ypc  --modes flashhd"

and that worked perfectly, for about 11minutes (I started playing the
partial flv with VLC while it was downloading to check the quality, if
that matters) when I started to get the following in a repeating loop:

INFO: Command exit code 1 (raw code = 256)

Couldn't resume FLV file, try --skip 1

I can't see --skip as one of the options on get_iplayer, so I assume
it's a parameter to rtmpdump? If I need to pass params to a nested
call then I'm out of my depth, hence my post here...

I googled and found this
thread:http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=267738 but it's
from 2011 and my current version of get_iplayer already has the url
they recommend, so I'm at a dead end!

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or should I just keep
attempting and hope that eventually it works?

I'm using v2.82 on windows 7 installed via the windows installer with
everything installed (Atomic-Parsley, ffmpeg, LAME, MPlayer &
RTMPDump)
