    Default Cannot detect url in BBC iPlayer

    url is no longer detected in url finder when playing audio in BBC iPlayer. Previously it was possible to get around this by selecting the “play in pop-out player” option and selecting “use lower bandwidth version”. The play icon would change from white on black to white on blue and the url would appear in the url finder window. Are others experiencing the same thing? Is there another way around this?

    Default Re: Cannot detect url in BBC iPlayer

    BBC iplayer was changed on 22 Oct 09 and no longer transmits real player files (.ra) and other unannounced changes This is possibly why the replay A/V can no longer detect url in iplayer. I have searched for a solution without success. Any body else got any ideas.

    BBC iPlayer started using RTMP .flv streams. They can be recorded with Replay Media Catcher, however the latter program doesn't support scheduling.

    Do you need RTMP support in Replay AV and/or scheduling support in Replay Media Catcher? Vote and tell your opinion.

    Default Re: Cannot detect url in BBC iPlayer

    I'm having trouble with recording both WM and iPlayer archive streams from the BBC. When I record a BBC London WM stream of a 2-hour program live using RAV, it often breaks up into 10 files, each about 8-15 minutes. (I have another installation of RAV where this does not happen.)

    When I try to record the same show as an iPlayer stream using RMC, it usually cuts off before it's over. I usually have to try 3 or 4 times before I get the entire program. Could it be my internet connection itself? (It's Comcast.) Are there any settings I could tweak in either program?

    The Replay A/V URL finder may not be working but RM files are still being produced by BBC (I think until March 2010).

    To find the URL so that you can record Listen Again, try this site http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/choose_aod.aspx and select the radio station. A link is shown - that code is the PID (Programme ID). Go to the Convert iPlayer PID tab and enter code. It will display the URL that can be entered manually into Replay A/V.

    As the site mentions, BBC use XML to publish their programmes so the information displayed is up to date.

    You are a life-saver! Even better, if I go to the Reciva/RSS Instructions tab and select the radio station I want I get a list of every listen again item currently available. Clicking on the url opens Real Player and url finder is populated - no manual entry. Not quite iPlayer but a hell of a lot better than nothing. Steady diet of radio drama and comedy restored, no longer forced to listen to local radio in the traffic on the way to work.

    I suggest that people vote in this poll to air their opinion:
    RTMP support in Replay AV and/or scheduling support in Replay Media Catcher.

    I have been working ALL DAY to try to download and extract audio content from the BBC player. The utilities I've found online wouldn't work, or they wanted a lot of money for licence keys, and I was about to tear out my hair when I found your bulletin board. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

    The best way I have found to get to the BBC Listen Again programmes is www.beebotron.org - easy links here to all BBC stations / programmes

    They also report on the move to WMA from RA - I hope I can get replay A/V to work with these as that is my standard way to record things to listen to offline.

    I also hope that the BBC change does not break the listen again service on my internet radio - but that is a topic for a different forum...
