Seems BBC iPlayer has changed up their protocols and now when I go to download with rtmpdump, I get a NetStream.Failed message. Anyone else experiencing issues with this? Could it be I now need a proxy when downloading, rather than just when grabbing the URL with rtmpsrv?

Thanks. I am still able to get the RTMP links using rtmpsrv but it seems the host has changed from bbcmedia.fcod.llnwd.net to bbcfmt.fcod.llnwd.net, and from the latter is where I get the NetStream failed error.

The link you posted (below) is just for the little advert that plays prior to the actual content. rtmp://iplayertokfs.fplive.net/iplayertok?token=c3RhcnRfdGltZT0yMDE1MDUyMTAyMTExM SZlbmRfdGltZT0yMDE1MDUyMTA2MTExMSZkaWdlc3Q9ZWVhNzg 4YzVlMzdhOTJkYzEzYjRkYWUyY2YzYTI0ZmI=mp4:3200kbps/modav/bUnknown-02121dad-7922-4e92-a6fd-6bf42081d683_b05wgqn1_1431245340392

Interesting, seems the HD works but the SD does not...thanks!

[12321]

I am trying to download this at the moment and I am still getting that NetStream.Failed message on the bbcfmt.fcod.llnwd.net stream as there is no HD option for this one. Any suggestions?

I am not in Britain, that must be it. I never had any issues with it though, and the stream still plays (am able to get the command through rtmpsrv) it is just that I can't download with rtmpdump. Is there anyway to use a proxy with rtmpdump? I believe you can use a socks proxy with -s

if it playing you ip good.

what happening when using youtube-dl?

I can get it to play using an HTTP proxy, but not download. I tested it using a VPN and it worked fine, but I can't download the whole thing as its a free trial VPN and don't have enough space.

youtube-dl with an HTTP proxy yields this error

ERROR: Unable to download XML: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (caused by error(10054, 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host')); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

I was not using youtube-dl and the proxy correctly, but have figured it out.

Unfortunately, when youtube-dl goes to download with rtmpdump, it just downloads 0 bytes and that is it. This seems to be another issue with the geolocation, so it seems rtmpdump would need to be run with a proxy.

Any advice?

Thanks, but its rtmpdump, not youtube-dl, that seems to be unable to conform to the proxy. I did not get your PM, can you please resend?

rtmpdump 0 bytes no causing by proxy failing.
rtmpdump 0 bytes yes causing by youtube-dl making rtmpdump using limelight.

questioning reason limelight failing even when yes good proxy ??? no know.

make rtmpdump yes using akamai, no using limelight. this result (http://dl.free.fr/pJU1hDdof), if no working for you computer.

maybe limelight working with better rtmpdump command?

Thank you, yes that is the video I was looking for. How do you change the settings in iPlayer to play limelight instead of Akamai, or vice versa?
