No, you are not the only person. I noticed the issue this morning.

Thanks for the reports.

Fixed in plugin v1.1.8.

The new plugin might introduce regressions, so let us know if you found any.

Hello tong2shot from Greece !

While I must thank you for your constant efforts,
it appears they are not bearing any fruits for my non-UK IP

Sample link tried was:

The Sky At Night: How Gravity Shapes The Universe

Due to my non-UK IP, bbc plugin (updated to latest version 1.1.8) makes use of the tor plugin; the subs do download fine,
but I always end up with a 0 byte file for the video download ...

I have run FRD with the -d switch and attached debug log; everything you need to know is there ;
this is on a Windows Vista SP2 x86 laptop (with latest Java 7u55).
My feeling is the plugin is trying to download from the CDN (Akamai) which is geo-blocked at rtmp-server level, hence the line:

[STRING(0x02) code: NetConnection.Connect.Rejected], [STRING(0x02) description: [ AccessManager.Reject ] : Access denied!]]]]

in the log. It should in turn try to download from the other CDN (Limelight), that is not geo-blocked at rtmp-server level and used to work fine with previous version (1.1.7) of bbc.frp (and is actually still working in get_iplayer [with UK proxy applied], where I had to resort to until FRD is fixed!).

Many thanks in advance for the eventual fix

Your feeling is right The new plugin is downloading from akamai, because at this moment streams from limelight are not downloadable. I tried several times with limelight, even tried rtmp-dump, but no luck, maybe I missed some parameters, or applied wrong parameters. We'll try to investigate this issue.

If get_iplayer is working with UK proxy applied, FRD should also working with UK proxy applied. I used UK proxy to test the plugin.
