Download from BBC iPlayer - TV Show - Javascript methodHere is a revised script for downloading the Akamai live tv streams from the BBC.
This is a modified version of the batch file script posted above in this thread, modified to take account of recent changes on the BBC website. Copy-and-paste the code into a plain text file called (for example) BBCtv_Live_Akamai.bat Code:
@echo off |

Re: RTMPDump v2.1d and BBC iPlayerThank you, but if I had wanted to do that I could have done it myself. :)
My purpose in posting commented code is to explain - to people who might want to use the code - how it works, so that they can adapt it to other situations. I anticipate that few users, if any, will want to download BBC live streams. Their on-demand streams are much more user-friendly, for example. This code is just an illustration of how easy it can be to use a batch script to interrogate an xml file and build a download link from it. Accordingly, this code is for posting, and explaining; not necessarily for using. |
Re: RTMPDump v2.1d and BBC iPlayerpossible to use such a file on CBS,Hulu...?

I am outside the UK, and I got the iplayer code with a vpn. After the Mediaselector has been established, I just shut down the vpn and found the download still works ! Now I am enjoying a much better download speed, thanks to the code above!! |
Re: RTMPDump v2.1d and BBC iPlayerReally? Does it work from outside UK?
I am trying it from Spain and it doesn't work... I get the Media Selector because I am using tunlr.net trick (without it, it fails at the beginning), but then rtmp:// fails. Here is the log. Any help or comment? Code:
RTMPDump v2.4 Chemi. |
RTMPDump v2.1d and BBC iPlayerSorry, I live in England, so I have no means of testing solutions for using this code from outside the UK.
This code should produce the same command line for downloading the target tv show, whether it is run from inside the UK or elsewhere. The problem will be the rtmp connection, not the command line. The BBC tests the connection, to learn whether it is being originated from an ip address in the UK. They reject a connection if it is from an ip address outside the UK. There are various ways for you to overcome this. I can only speak in general terms, because I can't test these solutions. Geo-spoofing is a trick which allows you, situated in a foreign country, to appear to be originating a connection from within the UK. Look up geo-spoofing or ip-spoofing on Google for details. There is a software program called Tor which allows you to connect your computer to a node inside the UK, which acts as a relay, so that your computer appears to be co-located with the node (i.e. if the node is in the UK, then you too appear to be in the UK). https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en Also look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tork...d?source=files Also search 'Anonymous web proxy'. This will lead you to e.g. http://hidemyass.com/ or http://apcyberax.co.uk/iwfchecker/ or http://server14.kproxy.com/ There are in fact many software solutions, but the problem they solve is that your connection request is originating from outside the UK. There is nothing wrong with the command line built by my code - it will work, provided you can mask the fact that you are running it from a computer that is outside the UK. |
