Hi, living in Australia I didn't think I had access to the BBC iplayer service. But, it seems I can stream BBC radio from their website. I then installed get_iplayer (Fedora 23, rpmfusion) to see whether I could "get" BBC radio programmes and, yes, I can.
I do receive pretty low spec versions of the shows - music at 48 kbps is okay but you think it could be better. I have tried "--modes=best" (see below) and that only provides the same as the default. Does anyone have any experience with get_iplayer? It would be good if I could change the bit rate I receive.
