For a few days now GiA hangs at the initialising RTMPDump stage. It produces a folder & an empty .flv file but ultimately fails.

The log is as follows:
AppController: Updating Program Index Feeds...

AppController: Index was Up-To-Date.

However the downloads are NOT finished & I get an "unknown failure" message

robincm: If you're having problems with Get iPlayer Automator, it won't help to crosspost here. I'll see any issues filed in the GiA tracker at GitHub, and other GiA users are more likely to see items there rather than in this forum. As the post referenced by SP alludes, anything related to ITV is unrelated to get_iplayer itself, so we're not going to be able to offer any help here.
