BBC Iplayer Downloader Plugin - Beta + Support

[smiler]

t looks like the GBPVR versio does not support this command line, see log below - hoever I have has sucess with the later version - will keep you posted

I think the issue is a simple one, you don't have the LAME MP3 codec installed.
The end of the output has =>

Code:

Unknown codec 'libmp3lame'

I suggest you download and install Lame codec from

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/LAME...Filter.htm

This hopefully will fix your issue.

I had the same problem and installed the codec as instructed but still no joy:

Interesting...

It is likely that the FFMPEG version you are using was compiled without support for the lameMP3 Library. The version that I am using was definatly compiled with lame support.

I'll see if I can locate you a download link with the exe you need.

[smiler]

Ok, i have found a download link with a built ffmpeg exe that has lame support.

I have just tested it and it works here.

The link is:

http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/builds/

Maker sure you get the latest build. You may need a 7-zip or some other tool to untar the package.

Just a FYI: I've got it working with mencoder transcoding.

Just a FYI: I've got it working with mencoder transcoding.

The advantage of mencoder is that if you set the high quality option, post processing is enabled and it should improve the picture quality of the resulting mpg.

As a note, the percentage complete calculation is an estimate and could be out by +-10% so don't worry if it gets stuck at 100% for a while or finishes early, the whole file should have been processed.

what a stunning piece of work smiler. It all worked 100% perfectly first time.

plugin updates download/ecode status nicely.
ffmpeg encoding appeared to be running with 2 threads and low priority.
image copied to folder correctly
recording added to db correctly.

worked with mayhem3 and blue skin but not latest community skin 4-sd beta (not suprising really) - you need to ask fatman_do to add a skin for this.

I will add it to the TODO list.

already on there
