The fan-run website dedicated to Radio 4 Extra has a recent posting, on its forum pages, about using a new program called YouTube-dl.exe to download radio shows from the iPlayer.

The new program is not dependent on installing Java, which IIRC is needed to use the jdownloader program.

Internet Download Manager used to be able to recognise iPlayer streams and grab them easily, but Auntie obviously rejigged their system to obfuscate the actual URL of the source media. I asked IDM to try to fix it and they said they couldn't access BBC iPlayer!

I also tried 'URL Snooper' but that could not see iPlayer streams either.

So, it's back to recording in real time with Abyss Media's I-Sound Recorder (a lovely bit of code, by the way - if you can hear it, you can record it).

I can use the radio iPlayer just fine here in Texas.

It's worth noting that if you aren't in the UK, the iPlayer caps out at 96kbps AAC. 320kbps AAC streams are available to those within the UK.

The BBC's definition of "In the UK" is stricter than it used to be and a lot of proxy/VPN IP addresses will no longer work.

I can get most of the radio output but none of the tv of course.
Only the occasionally music programme podcast is not available for me here in the usa. ( Seattle)
Although the Natural History one is not available which puzzles me - as a music programme I can understand due to the Music Rights.


In listening Live I have had no problems that I can recall.
