FWIW I tried to access a couple of days ago but got no response.
However I've just tried again, successfully. This is using the same
command as I employed during the test. I just put

xterm -fn 10x20 -sb -rightbar -sl 200 -e "./ffmpeg_r3flactest -i
https://vs-dash-ww-rd-live.bbcfmt.hs...t_manifest.mpd
-c copy new_recording.mkv 2&1 | tee recording_log.txt"

into an executable file and run that.

Note that "ffmpeg_r3flactest" is the filename I gave to a local build
of the version of ffmpeg that can handle this kind of streaming.

The tee into a file lets me check afterwards for any hiccups.



Swallow your covfefe and put down your cup, because what I'm about to
ask may make a muss of your brand new tie from Auntie Beeb and Uncle
Albert: is there any such thing as a Windows-XP-compatible, 32-bit
version of that magic ffmpeg build that plays the arguably nettlesome
https://vs-dash-ww-rd-live.bbcfmt.hs...t_manifest.mpd
and if so, where might one wrangle such an animal?

I haven't used Windows in over a decade, so someone else would have to deal
with that. I know you can build your own ffmpeg from the sources using GCC.

For all I know, recent versions of ffmpeg now do this anyway without the
user having to make their own executable. But someone more knowledgeable
than myself would have to say, or you'd have to look at the info on the
ffmpeg pages.
