Paris Hilltoon Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Does anyone know of a way to keep things downloaded from iPlayer for good, rather than the 30 day limit currently on the files? Have tried a few things to remove the DRM but the only one that worked produced a pish quality video at the end.. Much of the iPlayer content can be downloaded direct from eztv.it, maybe not the ideal solution though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Does anyone know of a way to keep things downloaded from iPlayer for good, rather than the 30 day limit currently on the files? Have tried a few things to remove the DRM but the only one that worked produced a pish quality video at the end. I don't use the download feature of iPlayer, rather I just watch them online, but according to this.. http://convertiplayer.com/ ..the files are downloaded as WMV files (which retains the DRM) however if that's the case then you should be able to use any number of converters to change the format removing the DRM in the process. On that page they recommend using this.. http://www.deskshare.com/media-converter.aspx ..but you need to pay for it. A quick google should be able to provide you with similar free applications. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 My extensions... My search engines... So no sign of Yhs delta, but when I open chrome... Is that when you open a new tab or when you hit [home] on the toolbar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Is that when you open a new tab or when you hit [home] on the toolbar? It's when I open up Chrome. When I open up a new tab it shows my recent sites or chrome apps (which is fine) and when I hit home on the toolbar it takes me to google. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if you had already said this, I had assumed it was overriding your home page or search settings. Anyway, the solution to your problem is in the settings, Look for the On Startup option, and you should find that "Open a specific page or set of pages" radio button is set, clicking the "Set pages" link should show that the Delta search is the one set. Amend as you see fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That software didn't like it. Through some rather dodgy means I seem to have managed it - the file is now showing in Windows Explorer as unprotected and Media Player claims it has no protection. Meanwhile the WMV I downloaded from the iPlayer site shows it is protected and comes up with a whole list of media usage rights in Media Player. I'm hailing this as a success. Give us a shout if you manage to get it........Westham Wayne was asking me for a copy too. It seems I've made progress. The new file I've got is only 640 by 480 but plays OK using my media streamer on my TV. The coverage isn't 100 per cent smooth but it's watchable - and not just for the obvious reason! It's an MP4 file which I don't think my computer likes when I try to burn it to DVD, although converting it back to a WMV saw a huge decrease in quality. Dunno what an AVI file will be like. However, the main issue is the length of it. It's two and three quarter hours - my DVDs will only take two hours so I'd probably need to cut out the pre-match and half-time pish. It would probably fit on a DVD as a file rather than a move as its 1.66GB. I would upload it somewhere for folk to download but I've no webspace.

Savage Henry Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Google Chrome seems to have become extremely unstable lately, crashing with no warning regularly for me. At the same time, my Google Analytics has gone on the blink, showing zero traffic, even although I have had emails through my website. Any idea why this might be happening? I assume it's to do with my latest iOS download. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 What's te best free software for finding adware at the moment? I have something on my computer and can't trace it but Adaware and Microsoft Security Essentials have yet to find it. Don't want Avast as it plays up with my patch for Pro Evo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
