Hi
In the last couple of months I have noticed that the download of long (>3h) like the F1 live races almost always fails at around 85%. Today I realised that when this happens, the file is always 4 GB large.
I have been trying to download the latest F1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06...grand-prix on different machines (through proxy and without proxies) and everytime the file reaches 4GB I get these errors
and that never stops, I cannot resume the download anymore. I use ext3 as file system and my system can write files larger than that (like virtualbox image files), so I don't think that my filesystem is the issue here. Could it be that rtmpdump needs some special flag (that get_iplayer isn't using) to handle files larger than 4 GB? I'm currently using RTMPDump v2.4, perhaps I should use a newer version?
