Can't download larger files

user-1011

Hi All 

New member here, found get_iplayer last night and it looks great, having a little trouble with it.  I am trying to download Eastenders but I can't seem to get it to download the high quality files only the low ones that are about 88meg in size which isn't that great.

I have a PVR setup with this info:

fields name
modes flashhd,flashvhigh,flashhigh
subtitles 0
thumb 0
type tv
versionlist default
search0 eastenders


But get these errors

I have tried to adjust the modes and I got it to download one 500meg size episode but then it skipped the other five with errors.  

Any ideas what I am doing wrong please?

Thank you very much

There is no need for duplicate postings containing nearly identical output spews.  We only need one.

Those programmes work fine here. One possible explanation for only getting lowest quality is that you're outside the UK and using a proxy.  If that doesn't apply to you, try --modes=hlsbest to avoid rtmpdump.  If there are some Flash servers out there that are incompatible with rtmpdump, there isn't anything we can do about it anyway.
