am using ubuntu 10.04 and get_iplayer 2.87-3-g0ce-62ba-ppa-19a~lucid

The normal method of downloading video from BBC news is no longer working after latest update,

i.e. like this


I know that this function was working at least up until 7th October 2014

I don't know whether this has been caused by the latest update or the recent changes by the BBC

terminal output says:-


Can someone please confirm whether newslink video downloads also don't work for them.

If there is any solution please explain

Works fine here, and nothing to do with BBC changes. Best guess is that you had upstream network problems.

thanks for confirming that Dinky, but it was worse than I thought....no downloads were working at all from get_ iplayer, not just the news site. However, it seems to be fixed now after finding this code from a forum:-


the thread i found it on is here:-
