A few things to know
Which BBC link should I use?
Use the BBC page containing the specific public clip, rather than a programme listing.
Why might this BBC link fail?
BBC iPlayer programmes can require sign-in and regional access; FetchBolt does not bypass those restrictions. If a public link fails, the source may have changed. Try again later or use a different public clip.
Which formats and qualities can I save?
The results depend on the source file. Free video downloads go up to 1080p, and available audio formats remain free. Premium adds supported 2K and 4K options where the source provides them. FetchBolt does not increase the original quality or add sound to silent media.
