Video download problems (Windows Web PVR)

[Chris W. Millinship]

Good morning all.


I have been a get_iplayer user for several years now, generally running 
the Windows Web PVR version (on XP home edition, presently using v2.82) 
with a big long list of PVR searches saved up. Generally I have no 
problems with it, however recently I have been experiencing issues when 
downloading videos, perhaps going back a few months, but it`s getting 
worse of late. Radio has no trouble, but now it seems virtually every 
time I attempt downloading a video, it stalls. Downloads a few hundred 
KB, then stops and the CPU sits at 100% activity forever until I close 
the program down, delete the fragment of the file it started downloading 
from the download folder, and start again. Usually have to do this two 
or three times now before it works. Here`s a typical result from an 
attempted download:


The PVR will auto-run every 4 hour(s) if you leave this page open

 and then almost immediately RTMPDump goes 100% CPU usage, with the fan 
blaring. Had to re-start it about four times to get it to finally 
download. In this instance, it then gave:

 however usually it gets on with the download using the original 
flashvhigh1 mode. The same happens when using flashhd modes.

So, my question is does anyone know what might be causing this, and is 
there a fix?


Many thanks in advance for your assistance.
