It's a bit of a pig, isn't it! I have used the web GUI PVR for years now and
have found it wonderful. It fulfilled all my needs.

As no one else better qualified than me i.e. almost anyone, has answered
your problem. There have been many posts in the past few days about this
with lots of scripts and examples but at its most simple try this.

Open the CLI (command line interface - always make sure you have latest
version)

At the prompt >get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=

Get the pid value to insert by looking up the programme in the iPlayer Radio
web page (it is the value beginning with a "b"). For a single programme it
is as quick as the old PVR. There are suggested scripts for multiple pids
and series so if this is what you want you will have to look through the
posts of the past 3 or 4 days.

I understand that dinkypumpkin is going to upload a patched version today
(Sunday) which should overcome some of the limitations created by the BBC.

One suggestion for TV is below. Modify it for radio and it should work.

Simon Morgan

PS I thought people went to NZ to get away from Chris Evans !!! (LOL)

Re: BBC Radio Downloads

2014-11-02 Thread Ian McDonald
I was away from home when this item started, and probably should not 
comment since I opted out of Get_iPlayer when I switched to a mac about 
three years ago and failed miserably to get the programme running on 
it.  Thankfully a kind soul pointed me to Get iPlayer Automator, and I 
have been using it ever since.  my current version is 1.8.1 (1710)

On 
Friday I ran the PVR as soon as I got home, and it collected all the 
items I was expecting. On Saturday, having read the email trail, I 
refreshed the cache and downloaded the two outstanding episodes of Rule 
Britannia, and this morning I have downloaded both Pipeline and Take 
the Floor.

As far as I can tell nothing has changed except that I have 
lost the double brackets around flashvhigh and flashaudio in the 
downloaded titles.  If Get iPlayer Automator can access the data surely 
the basic programme has a snag, not the BBC.

Hello

I will send you the patched get_player and use it.
Just call it as get_iplayer-patched instead of get_iplayer or get_iplayer.pl .
It should work.

I like the Doctor Blake Mysteries and the Miss Fisher program.

Hello Terry,

Thanks for the swift reply. It's really rather simple this end, Windows 7 on
a pc. All I use Get_Iplayer for is downloading radio programmes (Chris
Evans) to save on a USB memory stick and listen on the car radio!

As kiwi radio is so damn awful, it's really refreshing to listen to some
quality radio..even Chris Evans.

Cheers, Tim

Hello

There have been several patches suggested to get_iplayer-2.87.

It is not clear which operating system you are using so I cannot be more
helpful.
I use Debian Linux and Mac OSX Snow Leopard/Mountain
Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.

My get_iplayer computer is a Mac Mini using a 40in flat panel TV for
monitor. All the radio programs are put into iTunes so I can listen to them
no matter which room I happen to be in. I have airports and speakers in
nearly every room. I use my iPad with a VNC app to control the Mac Mini.

BBC Radio Downloads

2014-11-01 Thread Tim Errington
Hello,

And firstly, thanks for all of your efforts so far that has made it possible
for me and many others to listen to BBC radio here in New Zealand and around
the world. This ability has allowed me and my family to keep up with what is
happening back home for the last few years and its now something that I
consider invaluable to me when driving to work to be able to listen to
downloads of my favourite BBC radio programmes.

Unfortunately, I gather that this has now been made imposable by recent
changes to the BBC I Player (thanks BBC, what about all the UK expats around
the world!). I would be most grateful if you could somehow work around this
problem and restore the ability to listen to downloads of the BBC while
overseas.

Thanks, Tim
