Me too!

BBC iPlayer capture worked very well at the end of August, but now always fails. Try capturing this link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06qkp8n .
With RMC 5, after a few seconds there is an error noise and a message saying "Complete with errors (0 bytes).

The properties - Progress Log of the empty recording give some clues:

this programme (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05nczjl) would download as a flv file and then be converted by rmc4,5, or 6,but not anymore.

We are aware of this issue and the developer is looking into it. For now you are able to use the DVR method of capturing with Media Catcher. If you only want the audio you can also use audio capture. Thanks.

Just curious if you were able to use Chery's advice to get this working for you?

Thanks! :)

What cheryl said is true but it is not the same. RMC4/5/6 would download several programmes on the fly,save the flv file after converting to mp3. All I used to have to do is click play on each programme and leave RMC to do it`s thing.
