get_iplayer RTMP failure


Could anyone tell me how to get around this problem highlighted? I have got no problem downloading subtitles, yet with downloading programmes.

I've used UKBestVPN services. Downloading subtitles no problem so it shouldn't be any problem with the VPN service. Some said I needed to set up port 10060 in Win 7. I did in the Firewall Advanced Setting but the error occurred again.

Thank you.

Solution

  • Use Expat Shield or any other program that provides a UK IP address. Get_iPlayer will do the download job. No RTMP error, then. UKBestVPN may not be as stable to bypass the IP restriction as Expat Shield is.
