We apologise for any inconvenience

If you saw this when trying to download iPlayer programmes today:

There is no page for this programme. This probably means that the programme does not exist.

Then I’m sorry. The message was fairly accurate, though: the BBC moved the page. Thanks to a patch from Liam Bedford, though, I was able to release a fix in a very short time.

The downloads are on the project page.

This release also fixes the missing icon in the Windows application.

    Wow that was a quick response. Although I gather it was only a simple change required. Nevertheless thanks

    Regarding the new ‘view in higher quality’ option on the website, does iPlayer downloader automatically take the higher quality, or are they new changes only to do with streaming, and don’t affect the iPhone versions?

    The new higher quality videos are still Flash streaming over RTMP, so the downloader can’t get them. I hope to have RTMP downloads working in the future, though, and I’ve done some work towards that.
