New BBC iPlayer Protocol?

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.

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

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.

Re: New BBC iPlayer Protocol?

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?

Re: New BBC iPlayer Protocol?

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, if no working for you computer.

maybe limelight working with better rtmpdump command?
