get-iplayer, it is now easy to watch BBC shows hosted in iPlayer. This is a quick how-to.1) Install
get-iplayer.2) Go to iPlayer webpage and find out what you want to watch.
3) Open a terminal window, type
get-iplayer "title of the show", it will give you its PID.4)
get-iplayer --proxy=http://(proxy.address.if.you.use.any) --verbose --get (PID) --output "(/download/folder/)"*without parenthesis
5) It will download the show. For me, if I use the same proxy server, which is free and slow, on iPlayer site, it takes forever to download. But with
get-iplayer, it's a breeze!More detailed explanation can be consulted using
get-iplayer --help or visit get-iplayer page.
