You are correct in saying that RTMPsrv does not always work on the BBC site. This
seems to be because the BBC use more than one streaming link for each radio or tv show on their iPlayer site. RTMPsrv seems to be able to capture only the default stream, not all the alternative streams.
I am not certain why this is so. But it is a particular problem with their tv shows. Quite often the radio shows only have a single rtmp link for the default setting (which is always a default setting of 128kbps aac); but quite often the tv shows have multiple rtmp links for the default setting (and the default setting seems also to vary from station to station: it is often not the same for BBC 1 as it is for, say, BBC 3).
The first thing you are doing wrong is quoting the wrong domain address in your HOST file. The correct address is 62.65.136.5 (not 62.65.136.4) for the show in which you are interested. Make sure that the (correct) domain appears in the FIRST line in the HOST file: it will
not work in any other line!
Secondly, I do not recommend the use of RTMPsrv version 2.3, as all my recommended settings (described earlier in this thread) are designed to work in RTMPsrv 2.1d only.
Thirdly, where RTMPsrv cannot capture a stream's details, there are instructions elsewhere on this site about how to manually construct a command line in a batch file that will work for RTMPdump 2.1d in respect of any BBC tv or radio show -
