Un-Able to Download BBC iPlayer Videos

Post by PeterG »

Hi,

I used to be able to download BBC iPlayer videos with the ChrisPC VideoTube Downloader PRO after accessing the BBC site with Unotelly.

But recently, when I went to download a video, would get the following message:

"BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry its due to rights issues"

Decided to try another Smart DNS as Unotelly said that they're still trying to fix the problem - installed UnLocator and it appeared to work.

Could copy the url and it would appear as the video link in ChrisPC VideoTube Downloader PRO.

Was able to start the download process, however the process failed.

Can you suggest any solutions

thanks Peter

I can confirm that I was unable to get BBC to work using Smart DNS software (VPN worked fine) however with the latest version of downloader pro smart DNS is working as well. I am using Overplay.net as provider.

Hi again,

ChrisPC VideoTube Downloader PRO has stopped working again

I've got UnLocator installed as a smart DNS and am able to access the BBC iPlayer site.

Am able to copy the url and it appears as the video link in ChrisPC VideoTube Downloader PRO.

The download process starts, but then fails - ending with the message "Download Failed"

Can you suggest any solutions

thanks Peter

Probably you have this issue only with FLV 25 FPS, try MP4 streams.

Unotelly works with all.

Hi,

you're right.

Problem was with FLV 25 FPS - I've just tried to download using the MP4 stream and it's currently downloading.

thanks for your help and quick response.

cheers Peter
