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:

 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.

In the interest of brevity, I have truncated the original post. I have been
using Windows XP Pro SP3 as my "Get_iPlayer v2.82" machine with great
success. I almost always use the PVR interface as I find it so simple to
use. I did have a few problems of failed downloads some while ago and
reinstalled Get_iPlayer and have not had any problems since. Perhaps a
reinstallation would solve your problem.

While I have your attention, many thanks to the individuals who created and
maintain this excellent software, I wish I had a fraction of your skills so
thanks again.
