Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade getiplayer -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'3.07'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade getiplayer -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'3.07'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

get_iplayer: BBC iPlayer Indexing Tool and PVR

Features

  • Downloads TV and radio programmes from BBC iPlayer
  • Allows multiple programmes to be downloaded using a single command
  • Indexing of most available iPlayer catch-up programmes (not BBC Three, Red Button or iPlayer Exclusive)
  • Caching of index with automatic updating
  • Regex search on programme name
  • Regex search on programme description and episode title
  • Filter search results by channel
  • Direct download via programme ID or URL
  • PVR capability (may be used with cron or Task Scheduler)
  • HTTP proxy support
  • Perl 5.10.1+ required, plus LWP, LWPProtocolhttps, XML::LibXML and Mojolicious modules

  • Runs on Linux/BSD (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenBSD and others), macOS (10.10+), Windows (7/8/10 - XP/Vista not supported)

NOTE:

  • get_iplayer can only search for programmes that were broadcast on BBC linear services within the previous 30 days, even if some are available for more than 30 days on the iPlayer site. Any programmes that are still available after 30 days must be located on the iPlayer site and downloaded directly via PID or URL.
  • get_iplayer does not support downloading news/sport videos, other embedded media, archive sites, special collections, educational material, programme clips or any content other than whole episodes of programmes broadcast on BBC linear services within the previous 30 days, plus episodes of BBC Three programmes posted within the same period. It may be possible to download other content directly via PID or URL, but such use is not supported.

get_iplayer 3.07 Release Notes

Changes in 3.07

  • get_iplayer no longer dumps the entire contents of your cache when invoked without a search argument. If you wish to list the entire contents of your cache, you must now explicitly specify a wildcard search: get_iplayer ".*" - note the quotes. The Web PVR Manager does that by default. Also remember to use --refresh for ad hoc cache updates.

  • get_iplayer no longer automatically attempts to add higher-quality audio to "hls" mode downloads (functionality introduced in v3.03). Some output files were being produced with audio and video out of sync. get_iplayer should never produce output worse that what is offered by iPlayer, so that functionality is now optional. Use the new --hls-hq-audio option to enable it, and heed the warning that you may need to edit your output files to sync audio and video. The --no-hq-audio option is now ignored and will be removed in the next release. If you added it to your preferences, remove it now with get_iplayer --prefs-del --no-hq-audio. (@notnac)

  • Added --audio-only option to download only the audio stream for a TV programme. It is intended to enable users with visual impairments to skip downloading the video stream for programmes with audio description, but it can be used for any programme. It does not work with "hls" modes, however, so do not try to use it with --tvmode=hlshd, for example. Use of --audio-only also enables --force so that you can re-download a different audio track for a previously-downloaded TV programme. That will also produce an additional entry in your download history for the audio file. Audio-only downloads produce .m4a files.

  • Subtitles are now trimmed according to --start and --stop, if specified. The actual subtitles start and/or stop times are calculated to the nearest chunk boundary in the HLS or DASH stream. The value of --suboffset is still applied. This trimming is not supported for --subtitles-only. You can use --subtitles-only to re-download the full subtitles for a programme if desired. (@notnac)

  • Reinstated the --no-sanitise option to minimise the sanitising of output file names. With this option, the characters \"*:<>?| are removed on Windows and : is removed on macOS. All other characters are retained. Use of --no-sanitise also enables --whitespace. get_iplayer may fail with --no-sanitise if iPlayer metadata used to construct file names is incorrectly encoded. (@notnac)

  • The time that a programme is considered available for download is now determined by the end time of its scheduled broadcast slot, if possible. This should make it less likely to see "No media streams" errors when a PVR search attempts to download a programme while it is still being transmitted. This will only affect cache entries created after you install v3.07. (@notnac)

  • Reverted to text-only progress display, with data sizes now shown with SI prefixes instead of binary prefixes.

  • [Windows] During installation, you now have the option to create desktop shortcuts (for all users)

  • [Windows] The installer no longer attempts to perform an item-by-item cleanup of previous installations. Instead, it looks for an uninstaller registered by an older edition of the installer and, if found, executes it to remove the previous version before proceeding with installation of the new version. You have the opportunity to cancel before the previous version is removed.

  • [Windows] Because of the change in how the installer cleans up old versions, there is an edge case to be aware of. If all of the conditions below apply to you:

    • You installed get_iplayer before v2.95 (July 2016)
    • You selected a custom output directory in the installer
    • You never uninstalled get_iplayer
    • You never upgraded to v2.95 - v3.06

    then you will likely need to add your custom output directory to your preferences after installing v3.07 or higher, e.g., get_iplayer --prefs-add --output=D:\get_iplayer

  • Fixed a bug that caused get_iplayer to exit (and skip metadata tagging) when corrupt subtitles were provided by the BBC. Corrupt subtitles will now generate an error message, but get_iplayer will not exit. As an extra precaution, subtitles download now occurs after tagging is complete.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented previously-unknown programme versions from being used when --versionlist contained "default". (@notnac)

  • Fixed a bug that caused slashes in programme names to be retained, thus creating unnecessary subdirectories in output file paths with --subdir. Slashes are now replaced with underscores. (@notnac)

  • Fixed a bug that caused some streams to be omitted for some World Service programmes. (@notnac)

  • [Fedora] Fixed a bug in parsing iPlayer download links for URI handler. (@mavit)
