BBC Iplayer Downloader Plugin - Beta + Support

[Society]

Thanks for your response. I didn't have HD turned on as I have only MediaMVPs rather than a PCH. I've amended the quality to low and a 236MB mov file was downloaded for a 1Hr programme and then very, very slowly transcoded (slow - high quality) into a 1.54GB mpg file which can be viewed (though a skip causes loss of sync).

Mencoder grabs 42%-47% while transcoding (PVRX2, taskmgr & VNC use balance) but GetIplayerService grabs 50% at all times. I'll bounce the machine and try a download at medium quality but exactly which logs would you want to see? At the moment both MVPs are turned off and no downloads are pending but GetIplayerService is still running and using 50% of the CPU.

As stated, "standalone" get_iplayer itself downloads the same programmes that I attempt via the plugin - though I haven't altered the default sequence of modes so it tries for iPhone1 first. Another machine on the network happily downloads using iPlayer Downloader from po-ru.com so is it really plausible that my (wired) network or connection ("upto 8Meg" but actually 5000-6000) is the problem?
