List of known interoperable scripts / programs


iPlayer Downloaders

These programs access the BBC's server to fetch indexes and download the video or sound files themselves.

Note: As of 10th December 2010, downloaders based on iplayer-dl no longer work. Full explanation on Paul Battley's blog, BBC fights against openness again .

Note: As of 10th March 2010, get_iplayer is no longer hosted on linuxcentre.net. There is a mailing list for get_iplayer at lists.infradead.org.

Several get_iplayer forks now exist, the most active ones being infradead.org and jjl@github. On 26th May 2010, a '2.77' release was made from the tree at git.infradead.org.

Any (agnostic) Platform

  • iplayer-dl, An iPlayer downloader written in Ruby (Subversion repository)
  • get_iplayer, Downloads, Indexes & Searches: TV, Radio, Embedded Video/Audio, Podcast & Subtitles. PVR capabilities. Flash RTMP support. Written in Perl.

Linux

Associated Tools (wrappers, scripts, flv & rtsp streamers etc)

These tools make the above downloader programs more useful.

Platform agnostic

  • get_flash_videos A generic command line tool written in perl for downloading flash video, similar to get_iplayer in operation. Plugins exist which add support for a variety of video sites including ITV Net Player.
  • flvstreamer, A tool that downloads RTMP iPlayer video streams (This is a fork of rtmpdump with RTMPE support removed and many more features - get_iplayer uses this tool, written in C).
  • xbmc-iplayer, An XBMC Script which can also work as a plugin script under the platform agnostic Boxee. See this guide in the Boxee forums.
  • BeebhackDownloader, A class for downloading iPlayer video. Written in Java.
  • Web PVR Manager, A web front-end to get_iplayer PVR with advanced Search and streaming functionality. Written in Perl.
  • rtmpdump, A tool that downloads RTMP iPlayer video streams (including RTMPE) written in C, includes additional tools for streaming and discovering stream parameters.
  • cgi_get_iplayer.pl - a simple and hacky perl script which presents a web interface to get_iplayer, and makes downloaded flash videos playable using the JFW player.
