Hi,

I'm getting the following error when grabbing the live stream from BBC Radio 1 (or any BBC station for that matter)


[tcp @ 0000000006370100] Failed to resolve hostname ic.6d9435a9.013360.as-hls-uk
-live.bbcfmt.vo.llnwi.net: No address associated with hostname

[hls,applehttp @ 0000000000328aa0] Failed to reload playlist 0
[tcp @ 0000000006370100] Failed to resolve hostname ic.6d9435a9.013360.as-hls-uk
-live.bbcfmt.vo.llnwi.net: No address associated with hostname

[hls,applehttp @ 0000000000328aa0] Failed to reload playlist 0

At which point get_Iplayer crashes out.

This happens both on Windows 7 and XP and can happen at any time into the recording, i'm guessing it's a connection issue (im on BT Infinitry 2 fibre)

Any ideas?

Cheers

Looks like a DNS issue prevents ffmpeg from resolving the hostname for a stream segment. I've seen that before on Windows. Switching to Google DNS seemed to help, but YMMV.

Cheers, I have changed to Google DNS, will let you know if it works :-)
