Hi bat 

I had used the '--rtmp-liveradio-opts --live' option, so it doesn't
always prevent the invalid dts error, but may help prevent it. I suspect
(but I'm not certain) the invalid dts error may be due to poor broadband
connection at the time of downloading.

I have poor broadband due to distance from the BT exchange, which is
worse at peak times in the evening. The live download that produced the
invalid dts error was made between 7.30-8.25pm. A later live download
between 8.45-10.00pm was OK.

When I downloaded the same radio concert using the 'listen again'
iplayer, it downloaded at 195kbps.
