get_iplayer Description

Open source CLI tool that lists and downloads BBC iPlayer audio and video streams get_iplayer allows you to download or stream any iPlayer programme from the BBC in H.264 (Quicktime/mp4) format, any radio programmes in MP3 or RealAudio format (optionally converted to wav or mp3) and all podcasts in MP3/AAC format. It even downloads the subtitles where available.A major new feature available in get_iplayer adds PVR-like capabilities (like Sky+ / TiVo): you will be able to save lists of programme searches which will be automatically downloaded when they become available.The H.264 feeds from the BBC are higher quality than in the Flash iplayer (normal quality) or the Wii. They are intended for the Apple iPhone and are consequently made difficult to download for any other OS. The same goes for the iPhone MP3 radio streams.NOTE: To be able to run get_iplayer you will have to make it executable first. For this you will have to open a Terminal window, go to the directory containing get_iplayer and issue this command from the command line (without the quotes): "chmod 755 get_iplayer". Here are some key features of "get_iplayer": · Downloading H.264 video, and MP3 (or RealAudio) audio streams and podcasts from BBC iplayer site · PVR functionality allows predefined searches to be downloaded from a scheduler such as cron · Re-jigs the movie file so that it can be streamed before being fully downloaded · Resume downloads of partially downloaded video, radio and podcast files · Stream iPlayer or podcast content via mplayer or xine while downloading it · Allow multiple programmes to be downloaded in one command · Indexing of all available (i.e. listed) podcasts and iPlayer Radio/TV programs · Script version update capability · Caching of Programme Indices · Creation of basic html and xml index files · HTTP Proxy support · Search on programme name, episode, description, channel or category · Limit search by programmes made available after a specific number of hours What's New in This Release: · Fix bug where essential stream metadata lookup was skipped if only iphone mode was specified. · URL encode the url passed to a prepend type proxy request.
