Video download problems (Windows Web PVR)

[Neill Mitchell]

This is exactly the same problem I have been getting. See the "Stream
corrupt error and then rtmpdump goes nuts" thread.

What is your download speed? I started getting this when I upgraded to
BT Infinity 2 and got 80Mb/sec download speed. Basically rtmpdump cannot
keep up with the high rate of data and buffer overflows.

You will need to recompile rtmpdump to increase it's working buffers.
I'm running the Linux version, so I can't provide a Windows binary
unfortunately.

Cheers
Neill.

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.
