Hi, Thanks for your message
V2.94 in Synaptic I can't get to work. So fully uninstalled - including dependencies etc. Then visited https://launchpad.net/~jon-hedgerows/+ar...et-iplayer to try and get 3.02
This pointed me to GITHUB but could not get it to download. Me??.
So, although not LL policy – understood valid reasons, added ppa via command line
Then added GUI Giplayer -v0.52
RESULT – Search TV box and download works
BUT using PID box at top and download throws up error PID not recognised.
The latter used to work flawlessly and allowed for download of programs older than 1 week.
Will now try and get older programs using the command line PID command.
“get-iplayer --pid=xxxxxxxx”
That seems to work.
UPDATE:-
The GiPlayer PID download option worked ! when i tried very early in the morning/ Very Late at night. No PID error. So it is possible that this needs to be used when BBC iPlayer server is not very busy.
Also the command line route for getting PID of older programs still listed on iPlayer seems to give File sizes are approx 2x as large as they would have been via Search TV. The route taken appears to be to record the program as opposed to downloading a pre-prepared mp4 ??
