iPlayer Downloader (Windows GUI)

iPod Downloader - is a couple of programs: one command-line utility, and one Windows GUI application - to make it easy to download programmes. The developer continues to update them to add new features and to work around BBC countermeasures, so check back the web-site often.

Download iPlayer Downloader (Windows GUI)

There’s no installer or anything: just run it from wherever you like.

Type a programme ID or URL into the box, press download, and you’ll be asked where to save the file. Where possible, this will be pre-filled with the name of the programme


Once you click OK, the download will begin:

hi there

please excusez moi for this being a stupid question but I have been trying to download a certain video from BBC for several days with no luck. I have to admit, until a week ago I did not even know this is possible but I have built up some knowledge over the past days (I am a girl)

Here is the video I would like to save on my laptop:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/event/takethat/index.shtml

My problem at the moment is that I cannot even find the exact URL of this video. I have used URL Snooper and it gave me one which pretty much looked like the right one but it wouldnt work.

Can anyone please tell me what options I have to find out this URL? Or even better: can anyone tell me what the URL is?

You will get a kiss in return - whatever the answer is

[milomix]

anyone?

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

Have you tried Replay Media Catcher or any other RTMP Flash stream recorder?

p.s. Thank god you're a girl. Looking forward for your kiss

[milomix]

thank you. that worked perfectly

Does anyone know of a free program to do the same thing on a Mac?
Thank you.

I know there are loads of threads relating to this, but I've never tried to do this before and I'm really confused.

Basically, there's a couple of things I would like to save permanently, but I don't understand a lot of the stuff in the other threads. I'd prefer not to record a stream as it's shown on my screen because I get a lot of buffering/pixelating (I have a reasonable broadband speed but it just seems to stutter a lot when streaming), so I'd like to know if it is possible to download something rather than record it in that way (either with a separate program or through iplayer and then stop it from deleteing)? If so, could someone please explain to me how to do that? I've seen a lot of programs mentioned, but I've no idea which would be the best to try. If anyone could help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Skye.

Alternatively, I have written a FAQ for the use of RTMPDUMP, for a more 'hands on' approach -

On 12 July 2011, the BBC made changes to their iPlayer service for the BBC Radio 'listen again' streams.

The new server is: bbcodspdns.fcod.llnwd.net

The new application is: a5999/e1


The new batch file you need to write is thus -


:: Settings which do NOT change -
SET server=bbcodspdns.fcod.llnwd.net
SET application=a5999/e1
SET as=adobe-hmac-sha256
SET av=1
SET te=connect

:: Settings from Media Selector page -
SET et=
SET fmta-token=
SET identifier=
SET mp=

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://%server%:1935/%application%?as=%as%&av=%av%&te=%te%&mp=%mp%&et=% et%&fmta-token=%fmta-token%" -a "%application%?as=%as%&av=%av%&te=%te%&mp=%mp%&et= %et%&fmta-token=%fmta-token%" -y "%identifier%" -o output.flv


Therefore if you encounter a problem with anything stated in my earlier posts in this thread, or elsewhere on this forum, the first thing to do is try making these changes -

1. Change bbcmedia.fcod.llnwd.net to bbcodspdns.fcod.llnwd.net

2. Change a1414/e3 to a5999/e1
