    Unable to download video file from BBC iPlayer

    Hi,

    When trying to download the following file, I get a 'failed' error message when attempting to download.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...the-river-kwai

    Donwloading from iPlayer is normally fine. It's just this file that's causing a problem.

    Any ideas the problem might be?

    Thank you.

    The source video on iPlayer is 720P. I can download the file using the Android app but, although I have the premium version, the app only downloads it at SD resolution (480P) irrespective of the quality option I select.

    I cannot download the file at all using the PC version of the downloader app. Each time, after analysing the source file and adding it to the download queue, the download fails.

    Any help to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

    Thank you

          Hi,

          Here are some more videos that fail to download from the BBC's iPlayer site:

          Monty Don visits the world's 80 most inspiring gardens, this time in south east Asia, on a quest for the real tropical garden.

          https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...tina-and-chile

          After being added to the download queue following analysis, the status of each quickly changes to 'Failed'.

          Could this be something to do with the video name containing characters that the software can't cope with?

          Again, any help would be much appreciated.
