My apologies - I'm not trying to be obtuse, but that didn't answer my question. Let me rephrase that.... How is "beeb" different (advantages?) to the *Debian* package "get_iplayer"?? http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=get-iplayer Features: * Downloads Mov (mp4) streams from BBC iplayer site in much better quality than Flash player streams * Allow multiple programmes to be downloaded using a single command * Indexing of all available (i.e. listed) iplayer programs * Available Programme Index listing * Caching of Index (default 4hrs) * Full HTTP Proxy support (tested on Squid) * Regex search on programme name capability (makes it useful to run this from crontab) * Regex search on long programme description and episode capability * Tested on Linux (Fedora 6/7/8/9, Centos/RHEL 5, MacOSX, Ubuntu), Windows and loads more * Requires: perl 5.8, perl-LWP * Latest Version: http://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/get_iplayer DESCRIPTION get_iplayer lists, searches and records BBC iPlayer TV/Radio, BBC Podcast programmes. Other 3rd-Party plugins may be available. get_iplayer has three modes: recording a complete programme for later playback, streaming a programme directly to a playback application, such as mplayer; and as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR), subscribing to search terms and recording programmes automatically. It can also stream or record live BBC iPlayer output If given no arguments, get_iplayer updates and displays the list of currently available programmes. Each available programme has a numerical identifier,pid. get_iplayer utilises the rtmpdump tool to record BBC iPlayer programmes from RTMP flash streams at various qualities. In PVR mode, get_iplayer can be called from cron to record programmes to a schedule. NOTES: it also install a web based manager (http://127.0.0.1:1935) launched by running:- $ get_iplayer_web_pvr >From Australia, if I wanted to ignore the permissions I asked about in the following paragraph (apparently it's illegal to download BBC programs outside of the UK - see the reference further down), I'd have to use a UK-based proxy e.g.:- $ cat ~/.get_iplayer/options # For Debian-based systems, inhibit automatic updates # packagemanager apt # Add site-wide configuration in this file proxy https://someUK-basedProxy:443 >> >> Are there any potential problems with permissions? e.g.:- >> http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2010/03/bbc_iplayer_content_protection.html > > I know of none, after all, its only using get-iplayer as its been > released to use, and in the way that it should be used. Thanks > All I've done > is codified a pattern of usage of get-iplayer in a logical manner! I'm confused. What is illogical about:- # apt-get install get_iplayer It seems to work (or am I missing something?) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=get-iplayer It's part of the debian architecture (it upgrades and updates etc)... > > Sharon. > TIA Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
