Hello ilanad

This could well be a cock-up on the Beeb's side,
or a fault of the bbc plugin, that fails to parse correctly
the metadata for the two DIFFERENT video streams;
My setup here (non-UK) is:

FRD 0.9u4
Java JRE 7u71 (x86)
bbc.frp 1.2.5, with options:
480p/1935(default)/Limelight/Enable Tor -> checked/Download subtitles -> checked

Both pid=b03x1285 & pid=b00p7hcx yield video files auto-named by FRD as
"shaun the sheep shearer promo"; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT IDENTICAL!
Download one at a time and then rename manually
(b03x1285: "Shaun The Sheep - Se4Ep19 - Phoney Farmer")
(b00p7hcx: "Shaun The Sheep - Se2Ep6 - Who's The Caddy").

I haven't checked the other 4 programmes you reference at the end of your post,
I suspect it's the same root cause.
Maybe the dev could have a look at what you reported,
hopefully it's fixable.

Cheers.

I assumed that all programmes use the new json playlist URL, but apparently some programmes still use the old xml playlist.

Please try plugin v1.2.6.

I've tried the followin bbc's item:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01lxyzc
FRD add copied URL but after 2 hours this one is at 0% and "GETTING" ??? Icon is OK!
Via Chrome this video is labeled:
BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only. Find out why.
If you are in the UK and see this message please read this advice.
I can use a UK proxy or VPN to tell the truth I believe in FRD. Thanks for your help.

Your sample link works fine for me.

If you use UK proxy or VPN and you get that message in browser, then there is something wrong with your UK proxy or VPN, or you incorrectly set the proxy/VPN.
