Folk Club - continued downloading problems ...

Sat Jul 6 11:29:18 EDT 2013

Thank you for trying this.

The WebPVR continues to fail - much as listed in John's log below. However there is now an entry in the history file which means that I can't try a forced download with the WebPVR.

So I tried a command line download using: 

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer>get_iplayer --force --pid b0368my6 --type radio --mode default and got a WMA file - but this too failed in the download.

Yes. It's fine via the CLI. It produces the expected size of 109,442KB
and length of 1 hour 56 seconds. However, after moving that file and
trying again with the PVR using the 'force' setting, I now get this:

That produces a playable file of 893KB 59 seconds long! :^)

I have to admit that I almost invariably use the CLI to download single
programs, so I've not seen problems like that before.
