Record/capture/download/rip BBC radio streams(rtmp:// .flv audio only iPlayer stream)

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

I have discovered a quick and easy workaround to solve the problem with wanting to record as streams things from the BBC radio "Listen Again" facility.

When you play something, it defaults to "Dial-up modem version: OFF" within the BBC iPlayer Radio Console. If you click on this, to turn it "ON", you will then find it streams the same stuff, but in a form Replay AV 8 can identify. The iPlayer Radio Console remembers how it was last left in this manner. So now within Replay AV 8 use the URL Finder under Tools, and go and play a Listen Again programme. It will open up as a RealPlayer feed and you can then see in it Replay AV 8 and save and name it as it always used to be done.

I think that the "Dial-up modem version: OFF" setting is to be preferred if just playing something in real time whilst at your PC, somewhere I think I read that the quality is supposed to be improved in this mode.

Hi, I have problem recording BBC radio streams. The only program that works for me is WM Recorder 14 - excellent. But it is too expensive for me. I tried another free programs but nothing works. I read a lot of topics/posts here but nothing helped.

Only thing I need is to download BBC streamed radio documents (no need video )

Thank you very much for any hint/help. (I am UK abroad;win7)

You can download BBC radio streams with Replay Media Catcher (RMC) and Jaksta.

If you don't want to use commercial software like RMC and Jaksta, you can try freeware Orbit Downloader, CooJah + Blader, TubeMaster++.

You can also try freeware open-source rtmpdump, flvstreamer and get_iplayer.

Thank you for your help! -but none of these programs works OK on my computer. It usually downloads only 3-4 kB file and thats all. Maybe I have to set something (but iam not skilled with this) WM Recorder works OK with no settings. I will have to buy it probably.

I have visited the BBC Prom 2010 site below.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/2010/whatson/1607.shtml

There is a link to "Listen to this programme".

and, I could find the link to flash audio stream as follows.

rtmpt://bbcmedia.fcod.llnwd.net/a1414/e3/mp4:radio3/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_3_-_friday_1700_b00swrdy_2010_07_16_20_03_24.mp4?as=a dobe-hmac-sha256&av=1&te=connect&mp=radio3/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_3_-_friday_1700_b00swrdy_2010_07_16_20_03_24.mp4& et=1279382303&fmta-token=15573f6e5466ab61552d3333d6afa494cdf529a0688d b133bc2e26cfa9aa5442

and, I have tried to dowload a audio file as follows.

rtmpdump -r "rtmpt://bbcmedia.fcod.llnwd.net/a1414/e3/mp4:radio3/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_3_-_friday_1700_b00swrdy_2010_07_16_20_03_24.mp4?as=a dobe-hmac-sha256&av=1&te=connect&mp=radio3/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_3_-_friday_1700_b00swrdy_2010_07_16_20_03_24.mp4& et=1279382303&fmta-token=15573f6e5466ab61552d3333d6afa494cdf529a0688d b133bc2e26cfa9aa5442" -o test.flv

and, the result is

ERROR: Closing connection: Netstream.Failed

What did I wrong?

Radio DL
is the program you need
sometimes it stops workling as the bbc change the way it stores its streams, it is usually updated within a week though

[revart1]

Thanks for your help!

Radio DL has excellent user interface.
What a impressive!

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

An error occurred, It was not possible to determine the remote file location.

I think it is a IP address problem.
But, it wouldn't work otherwise. (I have used a proxy server.)

Anyway, I appreciate your help!

ah, either you need the new nversion when its released or youre trying to record from bbc local radio, it seems to only work on national stations, try using ipdl
that works for video too, dunno about local stations tho
