Try using Web PVR Manager. You can control Get-iplayer from your Web browser.

Hi Folks

Just started to try and use Get_iplayer and feel a bit of an idiot!.

I followed the beginners guide I posted to this list and installed
Get_iplayer for windows.  The next step on the guide was inserting the
instructions to obtain the relevant bbc program.  However, my question is?
Where do I insert the command text ie.e. get_iplayer "program name"?   Is
there a short cut to the get_iplayer prompt?

Excuse me for my senior moment <smiles>


Best wishes

Henry

Hi.
The program should work with Windows XP. It is a Perl script, so there
should be no issue as long as you have the right version of Perl which
the installer should get for you as on all other Windows versions.
I hope that's of use.

Hi.
There are versions of the program for Windows, Mac, and Linux. All
links are in the beginner's guide.
I hope that's of use.

Hi.
@Peter, the  link posted by someone earlier in this thread is the
beginner's guide which links to the installers for all operating
systems or instructions on using the built-in installer for those
versions of Linux where a package exists.
@Amro, I always use the --type=radio specification option. There may
well be a way to force this to be the default, I've just never
bothered. You may want to have a look at the docs
https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki
This should be possible through the options file.
I hope that's of use.

Hi.
Get_Iplayer works very well. It has a command line tool as well, I
think,
as
a web-based function. I use the command line tool and am very happy
with
it.
Its instructions are generally good, and the people on the get-Iplayer
list
are very helpful.

Hi Amro



That is really bad news.



I have heard of the following:

I have never used this program, but it looks as though I'm going to
have to learn in the future.





Best wishes

Now this is a very bad news, at least to me. I've just read the
following message on the Radio Downloader site:



"Following a request from the BBC, I have removed the Radio
Downloader
source and installers.  They will return shortly minus the BBC Radio
Provider plugin (e.g. the ability to download BBC Radio programmes).

My apologies for the disappointment that this will cause but I hope
that you will understand.  I believe that the BBC is planning to
offer

<http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/our_work/services/radio/other/radio_drm
.html> downloads of radio programmes from 2014."



So the BBC couldn't leave things be until they actually have a
working
alternative in place. We know that this 2014 promise from the BBC is
just meaningless. I am truly outraged. Not a second thought of the
licence payer's needs.



RD no longer works. Any suggestions for an alternative radio
downloader please?



Amro
