Requirements
It has been tested under Linux (Fedora 6/7/8/9/10, Centos5/RHEL5, Ubuntu, Xebian, Linpus, Gentoo, ArchLinux), MacOSX, FreeBSD and Windows (cygwin, Strawberry perl)
- Perl (required)
- LWP (libwww-perl) (required)
- For RealAudio Radio, mplayer and lame are required (not required for podcasts or MP3 radio)
- For Flash Audio/Video downloads you will need flvstreamer and optionally ffmpeg (to convert flv files to mp4 or avi format)
- No extra programmes are required for iPhone/H.264 downloads of audio and video or podcasts
Installation Instructions:
Linux/Unix (manual installation)
Just download the current version using:
wget https://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/get_iplayer
chmod 755 get_iplayer
Linux RPM Package (Fedora/Redhat)
Install/update using yum (as root user):
wget https://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/packages/get_iplayer-current.noarch.rpm
yum –nogpgcheck localinstall get_iplayer-current.noarch.rpm
Linux deb Package (Ubuntu/Debian)
Note: If you use Ubuntu 9.10 / Karmic Koala or later you will find the get-iplayer package in the Universe repository in Synaptic package manager.
Install/update using dpkg and apt-get:
wget https://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/packages/get-iplayer-current.deb
sudo dpkg -i get-iplayer-current.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
Linux Gentoo ebuild file
See Download page
Windows Installer
Download the latest windows installer from here which installs all the files you need to run this application.
Start the installer and follow the wizard in the usual manner. The installer will also (optionally) download+install the Windows support programmes: MPlayer, FFmpeg, flvstreamer, VLC Media Player, AtomicParsely and lame. To use get_iplayer go to the start menu and run Get iPlayer from the get_iplayer submenu, and use the commands that are described on this page. Alternatively, start the Web PVR Manager from the start menu (you’ll need Firefox Browser to use this). Recorded programmes, by default, can be found in the ‘Desktop/iPlayer Recordings’ folder. This version uses Strawberry Perl. Credit goes to Simon Dible for originally creating this NSIS Installer.
Windows with Cygwin
Download and Install cygwin – make sure you use default packages + libwww-perl (LWP). Optionally, you may want to install the other support binaries here.
To install and run, in the cygwin shell, type:
wget https://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/get_iplayer
chmod 755 get_iplayer
./get_iplayer
MacOSX
Just download the current version using:
curl https://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/get_iplayer -o get_iplayer
chmod 755 get_iplayer
Optionally, you may want to install the other support binaries here.
Optional Step (only required if you want to record RealAudio or WMA BBC radio): Getting mplayer requires you to build your own binaries. This is easier than it may sound.
– Make sure you’ve got the Apple Developer tools installed.
– In Terminal, copy and paste each one of these lines separately and press return to run them:
mkdir ~/Desktop/mplayer
cd ~/Desktop/mplayer
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk
./configure; make
sudo make install
The make command will take a few minutes to complete, and the last command will ask for your password (to copy the binaries into the right system places).
Install the mplayer binary codec packs (this step could be optional).
What ffmpeg version are you using Tim? It is usually that. Also what nix/processor you on. Did you compile ffmpeg or flvstreamer yourself? I only ask because I though this was a cross compile error? Could be wrong though…
Hi Audiobear
I have not compiled it on the armtel processer i used ipkg to download it, here is the info.

Tim.
Hi Tim, You seems to be the ony person to have got flvstreamer working on ARM – would you kindly share how to do this – many users here are having trouble and the flvstreamer team look to be equally confused!
The ‘unsupported video codec’ error from ffmpeg means that ffmpeg probably wasn’t built with h264 or flv support.
Hi, trying to run get_iplayer on Mac for first time but I am getting the error “Can’t locate HTTP/Cookies.pm in @INC”. Can someone please suggest how to solve this.
you need to install perl modules to provide the HTTP/Cookies.pm files. if you search for perl CPAN you can get some help on this.
The first command to use is perl -MCPAN -e shell
from here you need to upgrade your CPAN install and then search for the modules you need and install them.
NOTE: you will probably need the OSX dev tools installed
Hi, can a Mac user tell me which version of Perl I need to install to get get_iplayer working on OSX 10.4.11. I am getting the following error:
INFO: Getting tv Index Feeds
WARNING: Failed to get programme index feed for bbc_two from iplayer site
and it has been suggested that my Perl install is incomplete
The script has stopped working for me on my machine – flvstreamer error (the one in the FAQ). Is there any fix to this yet? Does flvstreamer need certain ports forwarded to work properly?
No port forwarding required. No fix that I know of other than the tips in the FAQ and using the latest version.
Gentoo and flvstreamer.
This may help someone – I had a slight prob – flvstreamer is masked, so I emerged it anyway, and it seemed to build well enough – but it wouldn’t connect.
Anyway, the easy way to do this in Gentoo is to go here: https://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer/download/
and click flvstreamer (Ubuntu-9.04/Fedora-9/10/11/Centos5 32bit/i386 binary) – the file is named flvstreamer-fedora-x86-32bit-latest.
Rename the file to flvstreamer and put it in /usr/bin
Job done.
PS Brilliant work on the PVR Manager, Phil! Love it… BTW, it works straight out of the box on Gentoo.
Hi, this is possibly because you have -O2 or -O2 in CFLAGS in your make.conf
flvstreamer does not work with these build flags. It only works up to -O1
The flvstreamer ebuild should filter out such flags that do not work, but it currently does not, nor does it check for custom-cflags USE variable. The only workaround for now is to change CFLAGS in make.conf to -O1 before emerging flvstreamer
Hiya
This has no doubt been asked before but i cant find an answer. BTW I am fairly new to Ubuntu
So i am running Jaunty and its fully up to date.
I have installed the .deb and that went ok.
I am downloaded the flvstreamer file, renamed to flvstreamer, right clicked and made it executable, and moved to /home/des
i have then set the preferences to get_iplayer –prefs-add –flvstreamer $/home/des
but when i try to dodwnload HD i get this

what am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Try:
get_iplayer –prefs-add –flvstreamer /home/des/flvstreamer
Cheers for the fast reply
Tried that and it looks, like the same error again

Is it something i have done with the flvstreamer file?
Sorry to ask again but does anyone know whats happening with my error?
I have had get_iplayer working with rtmpdump but havent got it working since changing to flvstreamer.
Thanks in advance
See my reply on July 10th 2009 above to Owie. Just in your case the binary will be named slightly differently for ubuntu.
hi!
$ get_iplayer –get 123
gave this error for all programmes

any advice?
thank you
See the FAQ – you need to be in the UK.
thanks for the quick reply
is it possible to use get_iplayer with torK?
I get this message for some but not all programs, I am resident in the uk. Any ideas what might cause this?
get_iplayer v2.49

What message?
hi again – :o)
More error-message experiences to share, this time it’s
with flvstreamer – hope it helps someone somewhere..
(Again, please forgive all the cut’n’paste output & my own
long-windedness but I believe it helps Googlers like me
track down issues for troubleshooting clues & hints..)
Same setup :
get_iplayer vers 2.41
Mac PowerBook (Pismo 2000, PPC G3 500MHz 1GB)
OSX Tiger 10.4.11 Xcode 2.5 gcc 4.0.1 GNU make 3.81
Getting a bit more adventurous than just R4, disappointed
with the dearth of podcasts on Radio Wales, but tried to
do Jason Mohammad’s phone-in, leading to error-messages
which I know I’ve had before but hadn’t pursued till now..
WARNING:

ERROR:
Failed to record ‘blahblah-Programme-Details-blah-blah’
I’d downloaded the supposed macosx Unified Binary version
of flvstreamer-1.8i and I KNEW I’d followed all the instructions
about locations, paths, permissions etc etc. Calling it directly :
pismo:~ user$ flvstreamer
gave the intriguing error result :
dyld: incompatible cpu-subtype
Trace/BPT trap
So I downloaded the latest source, v 1.8l, and, in the working
folder, firstly followed the README..
make -f MakefileOSX flvstreamer
..which eventually fell over with the errors :
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
lipo: can’t open input file: /var/tmp//ccEy4YuN.out
(No such file or directory)
make: *** [flvstreamer] Error 1
So, tried Googling around the dyld cpu-subtype and lipo
stuff, eventually decided–in a ‘nothing-to-lose, trial-and-
error, experimenting frame of mind–to try editing the conf
file, the “MakefileOSX” file. I edited its ..FLAGS= lines
near the top, losing the Intel stuff but adding something
which one webpage reckoned nudges the compiler into
‘doing the right thing’ for use with our trusty old G3 ppc.
“-mmacosx-version-min=10.4”
I should say explicitly that leaving the i386 bits in the
makefile resulted in the same failure-to-build by make.
I made the changes using nothing more than TextEdit.
Edited, the top nine lines of my “MakefileOSX” file in
the unzipped source flvstreamer folder now look like :
CC=gcc
CXX=g++
LD=ld
CFLAGS=-Wall -arch ppc -mmacosx-version-min=10.4
CXXFLAGS=-Wall -arch ppc -mmacosx-version-min=10.4
LDFLAGS=-Wall -arch ppc -mmacosx-version-min=10.4
all: flvstreamer
– – – 8< – – snip – – 8< – – –
After saving the changes, I did a “make clean” then the..
“make -f MakefileOSX flvstreamer”
..command again. It went to completion, with warnings
but no fail-errors.. yayy 😀 … Even better, after checking
its permissions, once I’d put a copy into /usr/local/bin
replacing the originally-downloaded ready-made binary
which was still in there, get_iPlayer carried on and
successfully got the flv then made it mp3. Double yayy 😀
I should re-emphasise that I’m on a PowerPC 750, a G3,
and I suspect what I did to the makefile will have made
the flvstreamer binary ppc-only. [- I should also add the
traditional disclaimers.. I’ve only described what I’ve done
and what the result seemed to be, so I accept no
responsibility for any bad things that happen to anything
or anyone should they try to follow any of the above blah
blah blah .. or as the Yanks say, “yer on yer own, kid!”
and even “YMMV” (your mileage may vary) … LOL 😀 -]
Hope this helps someone somewhere..
M. :o)

OK, so I downloaded the Windows version, and installed it. Seemed OK. Then I tried to run it- perl errors all over the show. It appears to be conflicting with an existing installation of perl that’s part of my Oracle install. I’m not a perl programmer- so I don’t know where to start to resolve this. It seems that perl is the wrong version, or it’s trying to access files from the wrong place (keeps referencing the Oracle install of perl).
Any ideas?
You could work around this by specifying the perl.exe (somewhere under c:\program files\get_iplayer\) in the c:\program files\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.cmd script. I guess your other perl.exe is found in the PATH first!
I tried that- it’s not having it. It seems to still be finding something it doesn’t like in the Oracle path.
without some actual error messages I cannot help you.

Hi Marc,
Just add the same issue.
Simply set the PATH env to the get_iplayer directory, e.g:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\get_iplayer
Oracle Perl installation also adds an PERL5LIB env variable. Just reset this one, e.g:
set PERL5LIB=
I’ve a problem following your instructions for MacOSX (10.6.1) installation & be grateful for your help.

Just skip the configure/make stage – that just compiles mplayer.
now just type ‘./get_iplayer’
Hmm, what version of Ubuntu are you running? Do have you by any chance not enabled the Universe/Multiverse repositories in Synaptic/your package management tool?
Thanks for the great script.
I have been using it for some time to stream iPlayer content from my Ubuntu box to my Xtreamer Media Player with impressive results.
I would like to have it working natively on the xtreamer and have installed perl, v5.8.8 built for mipsel-linux from the nslu2 ipkg repository.
I have also installed perl-libwww, perl-html-parser and perl-html-tagset (among others) from the same source.
On running the script I get the following:

That sorted it – thanks 😉
Hi Phil,
any reason the current (2.58) Debian installation package now has hard dependancies on mplayer/ffmpg/atomicparsley/flvstreamer? They used to be recommended deps only and I could install nicely on Debian stable… not any more 🙁
Does it no longer install?
No, it doesn’t under Ubuntu 9.04:
2010-01-11 21:14:48 URL:https://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/packages/get-iplayer-current.deb [167256/167256] -> “get-iplayer-current-2.58.deb” [1]
(Reading database … 144079 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace get-iplayer 2.57 (using get-iplayer-current-2.58.deb) …
Unpacking replacement get-iplayer …
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of get-iplayer:
get-iplayer depends on flvstreamer; however:
Package flvstreamer is not installed.
dpkg: error processing get-iplayer (–install):
dependency problems – leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for man-db …
Errors were encountered while processing:
get-iplayer
Thanks. Darn! I’ll have to make flvstreamer a recommended (i.e. not a required) pkg instead then.
Try the latest – shouldn’t be a prob now.
Not on Debian stable*, which cannot meet the dependancies for atomicparsley and flvstreamer (only in squeeze/sid), and I’d rather not have to install mplayer either.
I worked around the issue by editing the debian control file and repackaging, although I’ll give the latest installer a go later today 🙂
* – I run get_iplayer on my file server which needs to run a stable distro. It is also headless and thus has no X libs or dependant apps.
I’ve just fixed that.
Re: Optional Step: Getting mplayer requires you to build your own binaries.
