Re: [ANN] get_iplayer 2.95 released

Thanks Mr Pumpkin! I only have a 2MB connection but the Pi Zero handles get_iplayer from the command line fine. Not bad for £4.20! Installation was easy doing git clone and updating via git pull and then just adding missing apps as advised by running the program. Tom On 03/07/16 20:31,

Hello; Given the short lift expectancy of SD cards I would suggest that you make dumps of the SD card to a hard drive. Get the minimum clone the SD card. cd ~ sudo apt-get install slinks elinks https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/archive/v2.95.tar.gz tar -tzvf get_iplayer-2.95.tar.gz tar

Re: [ANN] get_iplayer 2.95 released

Really? I use Vista at home and Win 7 at work and I have to say there's not a lot of difference between the two. Drivers are freely interchangeable, most desktop features are very similar, the underlying kernel is only mildly different. If you feel Vista is that bad then I assume you have a

Re: [ANN] get_iplayer 2.95 released

It's a matter of how much time I have to spend on things. I have a Pi model B (512MB) running dnsmasq as a DNS cache. But I go months between logging into it, and I cross my fingers when I change things that I don't break it. Installing get_iplayer on it is way more than I'm comfortable getting

hello A Raspberry Pi Version 3 running Raspbian (Debian Linux Jessie) will run get_iplayer-2.95 very nicely. Run the Pi headless and use SSH/VNC to communicate. Inexpensive way to retain get_iplayer use. I have Pi acting as DNS servers, HTTP servers & Mail Servers. Great little computers. So

I too have XP on my 2 grand's worth Toshiba Qosmio. It cannot be upgraded to Win 10. However I am currently replacing XP with the latest Linux - Ubuntu 2.06 (I think). There are a lot of web sites detailing how to do this. And Linux can be installed dual-boot with XP - so get_iplayer could still
