I’ve just released an update to Radio Downloader. This resolves the AAC stream download issues experienced by non-UK users since the 20th May, and the problem of older downloads hanging and blocking newer downloads.
This release also brings customisable, sortable columns in the Downloads view which remember their chosen order and widths, as well as an optional new ‘Duration’ column. Status information is now displayed in Windows 7 using taskbar overlays.
There are quite a number of fixes for a range of other bugs, which are listed in the changelog.
I’m pleased to announce the release of an update to Radio Downloader. This resolves the MP3 download issues experienced by UK users over the last few days, as well as a number of other bug fixes and improvements.
This version has had considerable internal refactoring to make much greater use of threads for long-running operations (among other things). The result of this is that although the application appears the same, many of the actions that previously caused the interface to pause or hang now do not. This also lays the foundation for future enhancements such as configurable columns and sorting.
For full details of the changes in this release, please check out the changelog.
No sooner than I had posted the news yesterday I started finding out that most of it was wrong. I believe that I have now tracked down the problem, which as far as I understand is only affecting MP3 direct downloads, and doesn’t look like it was intentional.
I hope to release an update in the next few days (all being well) to resolve the problem.
As far as I’m aware, all BBC Radio programmes are failing to download in Radio Downloader at the moment. This appears to have been caused by a change made at the BBC’s end around 11am yesterday morning. I’m assuming that this is intentional (although I may be wrong), as it doesn’t appear to be affecting the streaming iPlayer.
I’m looking in to it and I will post further information when I know more.
I’ve made an update to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online
Conversion, which included adding Issues
59 and
60. I’ve also added support for LdPic
format images, and updated the pages shown for
programs to include links to download the disc image for the relevant issue.
This version adds support for LdPic format compressed images, as well as the existing memory dump image support. It also includes native support for 64-bit platforms and a number of internal enhancements.
For full details and to download this release, see the
BBC Graphics Viewer page.
I’ve just released a minor update to Radio Downloader. The application code is unchanged from version 0.10, but I have updated the bundled Mplayer binary to a full build instead of the smaller one that I was using before.
This should resolve the issue that I previously mentioned with international users incorrectly getting AAC streams transcoded to mono.
I’ve just added Issues 62 and 61 to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion. As the amount of bugs I encounter adding each issue seems to be reducing, I’ve added two new issues this time.
Just a quick update to let you know that I am aware that Radio Downloader is incorrectly producing mono files for some BBC Radio programmes for users outside of the UK.
I believe that I have found the cause and the fix is currently being tested. All being well, I hope to release an update which resolves the issue in a week or so.
Today I have released version 0.10 of Radio Downloader. This release removes the final dependencies on the BBC’s Real Audio streams by implementing re-encoding MP3 streams to different bitrates, and falling back to encoding AAC streams to MP3 if there are no MP3 streams available (such as currently for a number of episodes for users outside the UK).
For full details of what has changed in this release, please see the changelog.
