Package: get-iplayer
Version: 2.78-2

A few interrelated problems that cause get_iplayer to fail badly when
streaming flash audio and video using rtmp:

1) Users are unable to play some of the BBC iPlayer live streams, getting
NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound.  Recorded programs can be downloaded just
fine. Detailed log for 'get_iplayer --type=livetv --stream 80001' linked below:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2010-December/000306.html
This was due to the BBC using a different CDN service which failed to
be determined as a live stream in get_iplayer.
A fix was committed upstream and here is the link to the patch:
http://git.infradead.org/get_iplayer.git/commitdiff/1692c62149c16bfbf8151e3b1a4db55ed8097c22
Also depends on this small related typo patch in some cases:

2) The BBC changed the swf version that was used which causes all rtmp
flash streams to fail to stream including live and non-live when using
rtmpdump. Problem reported here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2010-October/000206.html
The get_iplayer maintainers have fixed it with this patch:
http://git.infradead.org/get_iplayer.git/commitdiff/cf7e8efbb58360285338ae0eae3b9e8f97ed94be

These interrelated problems affect this get_iplayer versions on all
debian supported architectures.
