As of about 2 hours ago BBC Programme Development seem to have taken the XML index files off-line - doesn't look like the normal change of proxy server error that GiP gets - they might just be overhauling the indexing system into a new structure...
Let's see what the people on the site who really understand this stuff think.
Code:
This service is currently undergoing a period of downtime for essential maintenance. Please be advised that the programme information service which is currently available at this URL will soon be replaced by a new service from the BBC, at a new set of URLs.

OK -thanks. I'll try later tonight and see what happens.

I've just tried Radio and get same message : failed to get version pid metadata from iplayer site.
I still have feeds from the radio but nix on the tv
Hi,
I'm trying to download this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03...s-and-dung
Using this command:
root@infinity:~# get_iplayer --get --url
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03...s-and-dung
and get this error:
get_iplayer Output:
root@infinity:~# get_iplayer --get --url http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03...s-and-dung

Would anyone have any suggestions on what the issue is, or how to fix it?
It seems to download other programmes without issue
Many thanks
I cannot download anything using --pid
Same here - you get this message going to the XML:

So might be temporary, or might be something more worrying with those 'new set of URLs'.
Trying searching and using --get XXXX, changing --type, updating cpan/perl and making sure Simple XML is installed (it was, I checked get_iplayer was updated too), other --pids doesn't fix it.
Had perl problems last night on one PC, then, using another, found Radio 3's Hear and Now was at only 128kbps, not the usual 320kbps. By 9 o'clock this morning it was up to 320kbps.
For the past few hours I have found the same problems as those reported in recent posts here. I decided to try HiDownload Platinum Edition for Through the Night. That worked, but only captured a 128kbps stream.
Let's hope it gets back to something like normal tomorrow.
Started last night with RTMP errors:

That carried on all day until the last run (at 18:50 GMT) and now all I get is:

Either the BBC have a server down or they've killed it in some other way.
Anyone else having issues?
The windows forum - not really an OS specific issue...
Same here - have tried a clean reinstall before I saw this thread.
Hopefully a fix will put it right.
same here - I have uninstalled and clean reinstall but to no effect, and restored my system to a known working one(windows 10 64 bit)
Reinstalling wont help. The Beeb have taken away the feeds GiP uses again.
In user-2's announcement, he said:
"In the meantime, you can try youtube-dl for ad hoc downloads:
https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/"
If you do not want to get the 50 fps versions (twice the size with no real improvement in quality) of videos, you can add this as an option for youtube-dl:
Code:
-f iplayer_stb_streaming_hd_akamai_hls_open-meta/iptv_streaming_1500_akamai_hls_open-meta/iplayer_stb_streaming_sd_akamai_hls_open-meta
That will search thru the 25 fps versions from highest definition to lowest.
I still prefer get_iplayer. Get well soon.
Can anyone suggest an ad-hoc way of capturing radio shows? Or am I back to looping "line out" to "line in" and recording in real time? TIA. Hope there's a proper solution.

HiDownload Platinum Edition might get some radio programmes, but it's a bit hit and miss. If they still offer a one month free trial it would be worth a try. You need the freeware flvextract.exe to get the aac file out of the FLV it grabs. I got Radio 3's Through the Night at 128kbps, but had no luck with later programmes today.
