Yup "--type=radio,podcast" does help but doesn't get everything e.g. misses some episodes in a series.

I also find sometimes, especially for longer items e.g. plays and stories, whatever is used to convert the flv to aac doesn't work properly so I get "flv conversion failed". The flv container is generally not readable by ffmpeg to do it from "--raw" either.

Back on topic
Anyone have any ideas how to either get the 400kbps stream in http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen/ OR, preferably, view content on the main iplayer website?
