Windows installer cannot download ffmpeg/rtmpdump on WinXP

user-1195

Hello,

The windows setup program, "get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe", is having difficulties getting ffmpeg and rtmpdump, well it is on my windows XP machine at least.

I already had GiP installed and I used Wireshark to inspect the data being sent and received.

At the bit where one selects which components to install none of the checkboxes were already checked, I checked them all.

It got stuck when it tried to get ffmpeg, with a pop-up saying "Download Failed: " and "Error: SendRequest Error".

I found the problem in Wireshark....

It got AtomicParsley then finished

On XP, rtmpdump.exe is in folder...
C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\RTMPDump\rtmpdump-20140302-git-79459a2-win32\bin

and ffmpeg.exe is in folder...
C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\FFmpeg\ffmpeg-2.2.3-win32-static\bin

This appears to only affect XP. Presumably it is a SSL issue since zeranoe.com is forcing HTTPS via redirect. Since the problem is XP-only and likely buried somewhere in the installer platform code, I'm not going to waste any time on it. Use the installer from here instead:

EDIT: link updated

Many thanks for that. The person who posted about the problem on the GiP mailing list at infradead.org 6 days ago was an exceedingly happy bunny, I guess he had somehow not heard about this sites existence as an alternative place to get help.
