get_iplayer Winter Freeze


get_iplayer development is taking a seasonal break. I’d like to call it a ‘winter freeze’ but actually I’m just going to stop development until next year. After 20 months of solid development and almost 250 releases I think deserve a well earned break! Feel free to post bug reports and comments as usual but please don’t expect to get a personal reply. The comments are moderated so please don’t expect to see them published too quickly. I plan to pull all the bugs reported together in January 2010 and follow-up where required then also. Now go and enjoy all your stored masses of recordings over Christmas when the BBC don’t broadcast much worth watching.

                      Some of the ITV problem is down to them revamping the site and not completing it. I’ve found a few programmes that are listed when browsing the actual ITVplayer site but are not accessible when you click on the link.

                      Thanks Phil for all your hard word and have a happy Xmas.

                      My Wishlist: a way to save ‘searches’… like ‘pvr’ but just showing the matches without downloading them. I regularly check ‘book of the week’ but would like to see what it is before deciding to download it

                        For the saved searches try looking at the –preset options.

                      Totally agree with the other posts, it’s great app & much thanks for developing it.

                      My ask is for a Firefox plugin that would allow me to kick off a get_iplayer download as I browse bbc.co.uk.
