I'm getting the following message on quite a few different programs...
"WARNING: Segment not available from server"
And then the download, of course, stops.
Find enclosed a log.txt file for the following download...
"The Boss: Series 1 - Episode 4, BBC One, b08nz3yz"
This is also happening with
"The Boss: Series 1 - Episode 7, BBC One, b08pqdl7"
"Debatable: Series 2 - Episode 8, BBC Two, b08p0zqb"
"Debatable: Series 2 - Episode 10, BBC Two, b08p16pb"
and many others.
Is it something I am doing wrong?
What else would you expect? You've configured get_iplayer to attempt downloads from only a single stream for each programme. In other words, you have explicitly configured it not to fall back to any other streams if the first one is broken by the BBC or is otherwise unavailable.
I'm just using the settings from the previous installation.
What do I need to change?
read the wiki doc on recording quality
I see what you're saying now, but the 25fps 1280x720 IS online.
I don't want it to fall back to a lower quality file.
The 25fps 1280x720 version is not online. At least, I don't see any. Post a URL for one if you see otherwise. If that's the only stream of interest to you, then you are out of luck for those programmes. Other streams could be broken as well, but it's rare that all of them are.
Unfortunately at the moment there are a number of programmes appearing with damaged HLS streams that are missing segments. The examples you have posted are some of these. As hlshd is the only option for 1280x720@25fps streams, you will need to try a different mode.
hlsvhigh might work ok but I haven't checked it. This is an SD option though. If you really want HD then the only option is hvfhd which is 1280x720@50fps. Or you can use hvfsd which is 960x540@50fps and is what iPlayer generally uses as HD.
Glad it's not just me. However, it looks like it's an BBC/iPlayer issue. According to the BBC iPlayer site, there have been issues with iPlayer not downloading on certain devices (Android/iOS) since the 28th April. I'm guessing this is the same problem we are experiencing.
Also some of the shows which were a problem before, are now downloading fine.
But it's still not 100%.

This has happened before, and it will happen again. Really people - every stream is not going to work for every programme every time, and there is nothing get_iplayer can do about. It can only warn you and stop downloading when it finds a broken stream. It is not a problem with get_iplayer. If you don't want to configure get_iplayer as recommended so you can get fallback streams, that's OK. Just don't expect your broken streams to be mended. The BBC have fixed some in the past, but not many. Thread closed.
EDIT: This is ultimately a problem with the BBC production pipeline.
Hi,
Everything was working fine with version 3 until today and now the highest resolution get_iplayer will download is 960x540 - is anyone else having this issue?
Don't post invitations for speculation. You didn't even bother to identify a programme anyone else could check.
Follow our instructions to provide a full report so we can see what is happening on your system. There are a lot of broken BBC streams around right know, so just because you can't get a particular doesn't mean there is a get_iplayer problem. That's why you need demonstrate a problem has occurred. We can't support what we don't know.
