Why mp4 or mp4.ts from identical installation?

[artisticforge .]

hello

Are you installing get_iplayer using the packages for Fedora & CentOS or from
the official github site?

also do not assume that get_iplayer on Fedora & CentOS are the same version.
particularly if installed from their respective repositories.

Also which version of get_iplayer are you using?
rtmpdump has been deprecated for several months.
why are you still downloading flash videos? "*.fvl"
