Hi.
I am a registered user of TubeDigger and until recently had no problem downloading videos from 4od. But of late, 4od adverts before a programme will download but the show itself will not.

I contacted TubeDigger support, but all they said was that the problem will not be fixed very soon.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem with 4od? I don't really want to pay again for another software.

Any help or answer would be greatly appreciated :)

I can't download 4OD either any more with Tubedigger so you are not alone. But it's more than that. I can no longer watch the programs inside my browsers either. I have not changed anything either ( same proxy server etc ) . The BBC has changed too. Their download speed used to be fairly constant but now it's speed fluctuates wildly and most times stalls if downloading , If watching in browser it stops after a while and issues a "Insufficient Bandwidth" notice even though, according to their own tester, I should have no trouble watching the lower res outputs. ITV however remains at a high and constant download speed so I think it's the websites regulating the speed and not my lousy connection

I've had the same problem recently, although it only seems to affect programmes with limited availability (28 days or less). The TubeDigger website has been displaying an "under reconstruction process - please visit us later" message for the past few weeks, so I'm not hopeful of getting any support.

I am using GetFLV (registered version) and am unable to download the most recent episodes of programs since around Friday 24th August 2012. In Getflv I keep getting the message "A Digital Rights Error has occurred"

I thought they had always used it, as originally 4oD was pay-per-view. There is definitely something subtly different about time-limited content now - if you watch very closely right after the 4oD ident or sponsor's clip, one or two small white dots appear in the middle of the screen. Not sure what the significance of that is.

I'm using a registered version of Tubedigger 2.2.3 with no problems on 4OD - However I am registered on the Channel 4 website as well.

Tubedigger have released version 3.1.1 (I think) - I was given a prompt to upgrade when I launched the program tonight, but I'd like to now a bit more before I upgrade (improvement is not always better!)
Tubedigger website still down though...

I am a registered user of Tubedigger and Channel 4 as well and used to have few problems downloading but since the 2nd or 3rd week of August everything seems to have changed. I am not living in the UK at the moment and use a good "paid for" UK proxy so perhaps Tubedigger still works at 4OD if you live in the UK and don't have to use a proxy .... but not if you are overseas.

On the TubeDigger website, it says you can try recording from YouTube 4oD and YouTube Channel 4. But that didn't work for me. I think it's OK for older stuff but recently shown on TV and newly uploaded will not record.
I don't really know what to do.

Does anyone use GetFLV? Is that working with 4od right now? Is it worth getting?

[obelisk]

You could try mobile 4oD (http://m.channel4.com/4od). The only downside is that the resolution is only 240p, but it's better than nothing.

If you look at the XML page (http://ais.channel4.com/asset/3412064?1348659772) for this video they've changed the format from RTMPE for older content to Adobe HDS (.f4m) with Flash Access DRM. (http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showpost.php?p=46255&postcount=42)
If anyone knows anything that can deal with that I'd love to know.
