Hi kasper, pls send me a pm regarding access to iplayer. For some reason I can't send you one.

This means that whenever you type "iplayer" in the terminal it has the same effect as typing "iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos", so typing:


Code:
iplayer URL
Will download the show at URL to your videos directory. Note that this won't take effect until you exit and restart the terminal.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
Jan
Brilliant! Works like a dream. I had made a note with the original string of code which I would copy and paste each time but no need for that now!

Thanks again to Jan and Kaspernj.

Gavin

Fantastic - just installed using your repository/application working v well thanks v much!

If only this had a GUI or actually maybe a microb plugin would be even better.. hmm

----

Having downloaded the video fine it seems to have downloaded the older version of the video file - its quite interesting actually, its not the same version as on the main bbc iplayer site - where does it come from? The version it downloaded had a bit of bbc news 24 tacked on before the programme whilst the iplayer website didnt. (Im not criticising, Im just interested)

I couldnt download using the app manager but could via terminal. Also make sure you use "sudo gainroot" before typing the apt-get ...command.

open terminal

Code:
sudo gainroot
Code:
apt-get install iplayer-dl
once installed (I copied and pasted this command in):

Code:
echo "alias iplayer='iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos'" >> /home/user/.profile
close terminal for the last code to activate. Then you can use the programme - ie type in:

Code:
iplayer URL
("URL" being the TV programme URL)
