If you name the files you've tried to get I'll download one of them, we can compare file sizes and see whether it's a download issue or a playback issue.

Not sure if this is a fault with my connection but often downloading a file would stop or timeout randomly (usually around 90%) I can resume the download and carry on from where it left off but almost always this results in a corrupt file that will cut off during playback. Out of 20 attempts of downloading 5 different files, only 2 successfully downloaded and played fully but this took multiple download attempts.
When a file only playback partially, I have to delete it and re-download it but as I just said above, the download may timeout or the file may again have a different playback issue. Anwarboy11 is having the same problem.
I always get the file working 100% at the end but it's very annoying having to download the same file 5 or 6 times.

Hmmm it's interesting reading these, as so far not one download has failed (Except one time i tried on 3g - and it hit 94% and failed) - all the rest on wifi have had no problems...
could be quite a few variables causing the problems though

AAARRGGHHHH!!! It's no longer working.... I added (maemo extras-devel) and it found lots of updates including rootsh so I updated and now xterminal says:
iplayer-dl: not found
I tried reading back the last few pages to see if I can get it working but without anyluck. I just read a message on a previous page warning about what I just done:
... when I type in:
cat /home/user/.profile
it says:
but typing iplayer in says not found. I re-ran the 4 commands:
2 versions of Ruby are listed in app manager but I cannot uninstall the newest version without removing the old one first and it says the older version is dependent on iplayer-dl(0.01). What do I do? I managed to download 7 BBC videos before this happened.

I am not the most knowledgeable on this but I removed the two ruby installs from app manager and just enabled kaspernj's repository.
I think I just went through Jan's information then and it worked.

I'm using this now,
I think it is exactly the same thing as what we are accessing on the n900, but i find it much much faster to use this then transfer to the phone.

I have a problem.... the video stops downloading at 98.3 percentage and when I attempt to play the video file, it gives me a playback error. Why is this?
I will try download again.
EDIT: Re-downloaded and works now! I am sooooo pleased.... thanks all.
Question: Can I substitute an iplayer URL for a URL from 4oD, ITV Player or FIVE player??
EDIT 2: Just tried 4oD URL:
