Dear Borboleta and Blimey:
We have released a new version for your problems. Please help us check it. You should download GetFLV 8.8.38 from our website and reinstall it. Thank you very much!

Yes, with version 8.8.38, you finally have the index/timecoding done perfectly on the raw saved .flv files, including all of the h264 .flv files.

This means that even the getflv flv player (or almost any flv player) will now play the .flv files smothly and with accurate time information.

There is one issue, however. Sometimes getflv will save a .flv file with a filename that includes "%20". If any .flv filename contains "%", the getflv player will not open that file. However, the getflv player will open the file if the user renames it, removing any occurrences of "%".

Thanks GetFLV, the new version 8.8.38 works great. You guys have been working very hard on improving this great program. I know how hard it is to capture these streams.

Hi GetFlv, when playing back the downloaded "The Three Stooges", "Bewitched", "I Dream of Jeannie" episodes on Hulu, at medium and 1Mbps streams , the video will freeze at the same point, but the audio continues, The only solution I have found to cure this problem is to use the latest version of FlvExtract and Yamb, so that I can demux the video file to .mp4 video and .aac audio. I am using Zoomplayer. But the problem is the same with other flv players. Thanks again for developing this great program.

I'm not having that problem. Is this content that you have freshly downloaded with 8.8.38? Of course, any content downloaded with previous versions may have the problem. Do you have this problem even with getflv's flv player? Do you have any codec packs or splitters installed on your system? Have you tried playing the files on another computer? Which OS are you using?

I re-downloaded "Three Little Beers" with 8.8.38, and it plays till the end with a length of 16:31 using the getflv player and some other players.

Can you confirm that you have the same problem using SMPlayer, or with EffectMatrix Total Video Player - or with any player while having the CoreAVC codec installed?

Does the flv file still convert with Format Factory? If not, the remuxed mp4 should work the same as input to Format Factory.

Also, version 8.8.39 is out but I don't know what the changes are.

What I am experiencing is that the video freezes and the audio continues to play with the downloaded episodes( in any stream and format). The episodes are fully downloaded with GetFLV 8.8.39. To correct this, I use FLVExtract and Yamb, thus I end up with .mp4 video and aac audio files that play perfectly with Zoom Player, BsPlayer. FileFactory accomplishes the same, even though much slower than using FLVExtract and Yamb.

I have tried to use EffectMatrix Total Video Player with CoreAvc. With EffectMatrix Total Video Player I receive "cannot init video renderer" error. I am sure I need to set up CoreAvc to play the files using this player I have not tried SmPlayer yet. I will report later on using it to play the regular .flv, flv. h264, .mp4 , .aac formats.

ZoomPlayer and Bsplayer use Ffdshow codecs. Both players will exhibit the same problem of video freeze and audio continuing to play (downloaded formats.flv , flv.H264, aac audio).

Looks like Hulu has caught on to the game, I can't download anything from their site this morning. Other sites are working fine.

The same here, we have just to wait for a new version.

CBS dot com is still working great, I'm downloading Star Trek and The Incredible Hulk. I was almost finished with all the three stooges episodes.
